I really think that it is great that He has dedicated his life to his passion, which is music. Music has helped reduce stress and anxiety in healthy people and in people undergoing medical procedures. Music has improved our memories because when you hear a certain song at the moment, once you heard it again, it will remind you of what happened the last time you heard it. Music can also affect our moods. That is why, I think that music needs people who are dedicated enough to make them. 8/15/2018 06:19:37 pm
I can't imagine what it's like to be in the "spotlight". I mean I have appeared in stage plays before so I have an idea what it's literally like. It's blinding. It's easier to perform when you don't really see people staring at you. When you have all their attention to yourself while on the other hand you have no way of knowing if they are sleeping or if they are still watching, I guess that makes the spotlight a very powerful tool.
