    WCEJ Thornton Foundation Music & Art Scholarship
    Music is my backbone and the best friend that comes once in a lifetime. From the pounding of my heart that breathes life into me, to the rhythm that guides my soul, music has always been a part of me. It helps solve all of my problems and motivates me to grind harder. Therefore, I want to make a positive impact by helping people feel the same way. Simply by writing songs about topics that will help connect. In today's world, music is our friend. Our happiness. Sometimes our only option to moving forward. As an artist, I tend to write lyrics that are meaningful. Whether it's sad, happy, loving, or heartbreak. This is my way of expressing and showing a different side people normally do not see. This is my way of embracing my vulnerability. This helps me grow. This helps me get past barriers. This helps me get past obstacles that seemed impossible to overcome. I intend to do the same for others. Help them get better, do better, and get past barriers that seemed impossible for them to overcome. I am extremely grateful for this passion. Music is what I can always count on and I know people can always count on me with the beautiful music they hear from me.
    Isaac Yunhu Lee Memorial Arts Scholarship
    This work of art is my EP (Extended Play) cover. This represents my music in a very meaningful way. This work of art allowed me to express my feelings. Such as pain, happiness, sadness, anger, and contentment. What inspired its creation is to help show the world of embracing the vulnerable side we sometimes hide. For example, when people interact with others, they tend to see the funny, happy, and goofy side of them. But behind closed doors, they're grieving. They're unhappy. They're lost. It could be hard for a person to reach out for help. Many people grieve in different ways. Some may grieve behind closed doors, some may reach out, some grieve on social media, and some may grieve through alcohol and drug use. Some even grieve through funny jokes people sometimes put out. But jokes always have some truth behind them. This is where my songs come in. My songs from this EP expressed the true, deep feelings of what a lot of us go through today. Lyrically, people need to hear me. Hear me speak on guiding them to do better. Not hearing me will not mean much especially if they do not feel it. Many people like myself sometimes question why we go through the things we go through. But I always remember it's for a reason. Writing these songs helped guide me to be strong. It helped me get past obstacles that seemed impossible to get over. Therefore, I know music is very powerful. It keeps me calm and motivates me to keep going. Keep grinding. Keep striving. It's okay to cry. It's okay to hurt. But I'll never give up. The name of this EP is called Visionary Imprints. The reasoning behind this name is to help every person understand the after-effect of each song and its true message. Some may never had a chance to experience that feeling of what each song expresses. However, to how deep they are, you can almost imagine these situations happening to you. As we mentioned before, this EP did bring out a different side of me. Many of my old songs have this hype, chill feeling and this is what many of my supporters are used to. But as I get older, it was time to show them something new. Something we can somewhat relate to. Something we can grow from. I am extremely grateful for this passion. Music is what I can always count on.

    From the pounding of my heart that breathes life into me, to the rhythm that guides my soul, music has always been a part of me. Music is my backbone and the best friend that comes once in a lifetime. I love that it gives me hope. It boosts my confidence to never give up. I finally found my true passion, singing. At first, this gave me an unfathomable yet surreal feeling. This unfamiliar yet blissful feeling motivated me to dive deeper into my journey. Writing songs allows me to express feelings that I cannot seem to express to anyone. It calms me down and brings peace into my life. It also helps me to realize and learn from my mistakes. Music has helped me mature mentally. Next, I want to someday start a record label company. Just hearing a song or album helps solve all of my problems and motivates me to grind even harder. Therefore, I want to help people feel the same way by bringing in upcoming artists that will. I also want to help artists achieve a successful career. Simply by helping to promote, produce songs, book venues to perform, and pay them good money, etc. It’s a lot of talent out there that needs to be recognized. This is due to not having a lot of reputation or sometimes not being promoted consistently. When I come into the picture, that is when I will do my best to help those out. Help those out do it right with a great label on their side with no worries. Lastly, I want to write songs for other artists. This is what you may call a ghostwriter. As an artist, I tend to write meaningful lyrics. Whether it's sad, happy, love, heartbreak, etc. Practicing now can help me to become better whenever I retire from my career and become a full-time professional writer. I want to attract fans that will help them in whatever they are going through. We all need this. Music is sometimes all we have. However, I believe this scholarship will help me because going into the music industry will be difficult. Even trying to get a record deal is difficult alone as an upcoming artist. But I do believe I will make it. I believe that I can do it and I will do it. I have had my downs thinking nobody is truly listening to my work. I have had my downs thinking nobody is streaming my songs. I know to never give up. Because tomorrow could be the day where I blow up, or the day after that, or the day after that. I will achieve my goals and I will accomplish them.
