I never sang as a child, but in my guts, and a whole lot of chaos, music wasn't something I planned. It was something that saved me. It gave me a voice when I felt I didn't have one. It let me scream when I needed to scream and whisper when the world needed to listen. Every scar, every tattoo, every song has a story.
