Releasing the Music Within Us

When I first discovered Fl Studios during middle school, I was captivated by the ability to make music with nothing more than my mind and computer. Over the past nine years, music production has continued to serve as a creative and emotional outlet for me. While music production may seem like a talent, I believe anyone is capable of doing it. With the right tools and a little guidance, it is possible for anyone to turn their emotions and creativity into music.
