Pablo Casals once said, “Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.” It’s food for the soul. It has a way of making us forget our troubles and giving us peace of mind. We all sing, either hip-pop, Afrobeat, Reggae, gospel, or Rnb. Most of us use music as our relaxation or during chores to help speed up the process. I wonder how we would have been able to live in a world without music, it would have been more like a room without lights! or a smartphone with data! Music is life, Music is Food, Music is health, Music is happiness, music is our culture, and our identity and music is passion. What is music to you? just like creatorshala, music has offered itself as a platform to express ourselves using words!. Most people in the world today have taken music as a profession to entertain humans and make it relatable & entertaining as much as possible for us to vibe to every verse whether in a ceremony, church, or club! But what is music without vocal prowess and catchy lines?
