Music To my heart

By: Mark Soria

I used to never pay attention to music because I never really cared about it. I was more into soccer and wrestling. Since I was a kid i would love to watch WWE Smackdown NXT and The World Cup. After time my interests for wrestling and soccer slowly faded away.

I was struggling with school and other personal problems for a while, feeling stressed out. I would listen to some of my favorite artists. Trippie Redd, XXXTENTACION, SOB X RBE were some of my go to artists in middle school. After a while of listening to my favorite songs i would feel more relieved like if a weight had been lifted from my chest.

I would always go to music when i felt stressed so one day me and my brother Stitched Lips went to Silver Creek High to visit a friend. After an hour of waiting it turned out that she flaked and decided to go home early, So it was just me and my brother at the school chilling. We had a conversation about how we feel about the new artists making it big and that's when i told my bro

“Hey what if we started making some music of our own, lets see if we can go far with time and try to make it like these other artists”

I will forever remember the words my brother told me because they changed my life forever.

“I been thinking of the same thing bro, i say lets do it I feel confident that with time our music will get out there” He said

At first we would just work on making lyrics and finding beats because we had no money for studio equipment or studio time. Once we had enough to buy a mic and other equipment that we needed then we started to record our first songs.

Songs like “Dedication” “Different” And “Slow Down” were the first songs that we produced and put out for the public which all later racked up thousands of views. All these names for the songs came from the energy and lyrics put into the songs. Slow down was different though. Some guy that i know told me that my flow was too fast that i need to “Slow Down,” so thats how that name of the song came up.

After that we tried out different flows to try to make something new but later on decided to stick to our normal flow.

Later on we went independent but still kept in real close touch like brothers would.

In the middle of 2020 i went on to drop songs like “No Smoke” “Boof Pack” and “Five Guys” which all also went on to rack thousands of views

I told myself that i will never stop doing music until i get to where i want to be in the industry, And even then i wont stop because music is the only thing that keeps me going every day. If I would've never discovered music as a way to relieve my stress and a way to express myself i don't know what i would be doing till this day.
