For those of you who know of me, already know that I am a songwriter. I love writing songs...You can find some on Youtube, Soundcloud and iTunes :) However, many of them I haven't gotten a chance to release yet but I am sure with time, more and more of them will come up. This blog post, I thought it would be cool to write about how I feel about covers & original music.
There's an amazing feeling that comes with singing something you wrote but there's also another great feeling that comes with singing songs written by others and interpreting lyrics you feel really connected to. Many people in my surroundings have told me not to sing covers because I am a songwriter and an artist, that I have my own songs and it is amateur to sing covers. This brought a dilemma "To Cover or Not to cover...". I don't feel it's amateur. Many of the big stars do it in concert and studio sessions. I find it shows appreciation for others music. I have a lot of respect for singers/ Youtube sensations like Christina Grimmie & Lisa Lavie who are amazing and do unbelievable renditions of covers. They both also write their own stuff too! I've let many people's opinions cloud my judgement and I just wanna do what makes me happy. When it comes to passion, music and art, I feel that there's no right or wrong answer. You just have to go with what you feel in your heart. As for myself, I will not stop writing my own material but I would like to cover some songs that make me feel good and also bring back songs that inspire me from the past. As well as Italian covers who are a big part of who I am as a singer today.
