I have a connective tissue disorder so basically I got sick and my nerves deteriorated
So you were singing before you lost your hearing?
Yeah, I've been singing since I was 4 so I left music after I lost my hearing and then
figured out how to get back into
singing with muscle memory using visual tuners and trusting my pitch
So your shoes are off because you're feeling the vibration is that how you're following the music
Yeah, I'm feeling the tempo the beach through the floor and Mandy. What are you gonna sing?
I'm gonna sing a song that I wrote called try ok.
