Music is Essential

Music IS the background to my life. I find myself listening to music during nearly every activity I undertake each day. This is how it has been pretty much all of my life.

It is there when I do my morning exercises. It is there while I check my email. Whether I am editing or writing, there is always background music to my story. If I am working on an art project, there must be musical accompaniment. 

Even if I am not playing music myself, someone in my house is always singing. That is simply how we all are. When I am not playing music, it is often because I am playing music...on my bass. I never even fall asleep without a song in my head.

Music is just as much a part of my life as art, writing, acting, or any of the other activities I do. In fact, it complements each and every one. I create in time to music. I can't write without it. I use it in my scene while acting because it helps me create my characters. 

I incorporate music into everything I do, be it work or play. I don't honestly think I could do all the things I do without it. It aids my creativity, and shapes everything I do. My life does have a soundtrack, but it is one that never ends. Music is my world, it is my essence, it is in and around everything I do.
