You know, being a musician… or a vocalist on my part, it’s not as easy as it seems, I’ve been told that a singer is the front man of a band, well I know that as well as everybody who is in a band, but not when it comes to a band that is so multitalented, so influenced with the music around them, regional or international. Being a singer actually control the whole entire situation, for the audience, and those who are the backbone supporting you, for example, mainly, the drummer. His/her job is not only playing the beat, but as the main importance when are you gonna cue in your song, the break, and cueing out of the music. I was given a lecture by my drummer, I have to listen, relax and alert at the same time, know where the song starts and how it ends. Somewhat I was exposed to how a singer should be like in a real talented group… to control such group one has to be flexible, adding up some tunes from the original melodies so people can hear that this is how we play it, how one can sing differently from the rest. This is what it means to climb to another level. I often wonder sometimes whether this is my calling, instead of being a worker ant. This is where I suppose to be, on a stage where people come and listen, enjoyed and to relieve stress. In all my journey of life being a singer is just a leisure pursuit, or so I thought. It never comes across in my mind that this is where my happiness is.

Maybe it’s a tough job being a singer, but if that’s where I’s assume to be, if this profession makes me happy, it’s all about grabbing the chances, and I’m taking it. This is where I am. No matter how hard it takes.
