Musician that is a HUGE inspiration to you?

Hunter Hayes. He writes his own lyrics and music and they are just so amazing. He can make me feel so many emotions through all of his songs.

Why did you start writing music?

I started because of a TV show. I was watching Once Upon A Time and one of the characters died tragically.... and some of his last words were "Go find Tallahassee, even if it is without me." And through my tears, I thought "That would make a really good song lyric." Later that night, I grabbed a pencil and paper and my song Tallahassee was born. I realized that I really enjoyed writing songs and I kept doing it. And here I am today :D

Ha Ha It's not daytime. 2 am is when I do my best writing.

What makes you want to write? What inspires you?

Random things will inspire me and make me want to write. I'll be having a conversation and the other person will say something and I will get song inspiration for that. Sometimes its other songs that give me inspirations. Sometimes its a place.

  1. You know, I had something to say about some of the songs, but then I lost track of everything and I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW SHORT THIS POST WAS! MK, I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU!! XD XD XD All right, guessing Lia or Lilah's real name...Delilah. That's my guess. *shrugs* Oh, In Case You Didn't Know is the song my mom has for when my dad calls. I'm not big on country, but I don't mind Road Less Travelled by Lauren Alaina because it's kind of my anthem.

    I despise Justin Bieber, honestly. No offense. I find it interesting MK only asked questions about songs, or mostly questions about songs. I feel like there's a whole other world of questions out there. (I can't help myself. XD)

    You have a special writing book, so let me ask you a serieous question...do you let people touch your book? Or are you like Ally from Austin and Ally? XD

    Great post. <3

    1. The reason there was only a measly 115 questions is because I limited myself to only music based questions...and I'm not a music person :P

      And I am laughing so hard right now. Lia, I'm calling you Dalilah from now on.

    2. I let people touch my book. Both Catherine and MK have both touched and read what is inside the book.

      And no Delilah is not my real name :D

    3. I apologize for I might have created a monster out of MK who is now calling you Delilah. XD

      Haha, I've seen Austin and Ally again on T.V so it made me think of that. XD
