“My love for making music started for me when I joined the school band in 5th grade, furthermore my growing affection for it grew when I started playing guitar and became fully invested in making music. Eventually, I started to write my first couple songs which never became fully developed. During a conversation with some friends, I mentioned that I wanted to make music that I could put on SoundCloud for people to listen to and enjoy. That moment was when I really got into the mindset set of being a musician. Music is a constant in everyone’s life, there is always rhythm and melody, it surrounds everyone and a musician’s job is to transform that into a song for people to enjoy. In the recent months my music really kicked off, I settled into a style of music I enjoyed creating and was able to make music I was comfortable with sharing. My most successful moments where when my music was discovered by a handful of promotion companies and I was offered promotions, and also when I submitted a song to be put on Spotify and other similar streaming platforms and it was approved. I plan to continue to make music and submit it to my SoundCloud as ‘ClongStudios’ and hopefully turn it into a career someday.”
