Hi im Saint apart of an art collective/music group called HATEDYOUTH. We are upcoming artist, film makers, dancers, designers and are hungry for the grind. With this money i will make a short music piece that incorporates all of my groups talents. A short film video for our new project titled "Purple Hue" . We have only just started so take it all with a grain of salt but we would love this opportunity. Now me personally as an artist, i just want to make good art and make it so good that the world will always remember it. Or at least make me happy, and if im being serious i just want to be so big and important from my art and show anybody can become the best

So Hi, im Saint Zion Gates. i am a product of more than like 7-8 states from 2 years of age up until maybe i'll say 16? My story started in Chicago IL when my mom had me at 19. she had just given birth to my older brother Zach at 16, and then had another child ( my younger brother) at 21. My mom worked at Walmart and had a decent wage, She could have stayed that way but she wanted better. So Boom! My mom quit her job and went to school. I don't know if you know but raising 3 kids and going to school is really hard. So we move a lot, from IL, Texas, Arizona,Nevada, South Carolina, and Wisconsin and I've had countless adventures in each of those places but we'd be here forever if i were to tell them ( i'm saving it all for my music and films *wink* ). So we are homeless, sleeping in cars, and all that bad stuff. The worst stuff for a kid but we shrugged it out, the worst day of my life was in a shelter, we ate Chicken Alfredo. I took a shower after dinner (with sandals on, can't do it barefoot in a shelter) then laid down and then caught food poisoning and threw up and there was nothing I could do. Couldn't wake my mom up to clean it. She had enough problems so I didn't, I just stayed in the filth of it all. Fast Forward my mom finishes school and we are living great and here is where my Father comes into play. My Dad has been working the same job since he was in his 20's so same ordinary life, and that's cool and all but he has never lived really. And I don't want that ever. He isn't really happy, and I don't want that. He just used his one life on being stable and not doing what he wants for real. So the cliche thing "i dOnT WaNt To bE My FaThEr" i know i know but really i just don't want to be unhappy. And waste this ONE life i have on chasing what's certain and guaranteed to make me a wage i can live off of. That's not happiness shoot if my happiness was to walk then god dog it im going to walk. My dad would say "walking isn't going to get you anywhere major in math or something" and in this case writing films and stories is "walking" so yea. Film and music really take my heart to a different place. I get lost in those things and can do those for free.99 and it's just that simple. I'm going to strive to be the best at it and be amazing or at least try. you only have one life so lets at least try to walk. plus I've seen my mom do 5x the things that i want to do so this has to be a breeze right. So im try to walk , hopefully it'll be televised (unlike the revolution)
