Welcome Hanna, I'm new here too While writing this I'm listening to your song, sounds amazing! Keep up the good work

Hey everyone, My name is Tristen, I'm 18 years old and I'm coming from the Netherlands. I've started writing songs around a year. At the moment I'm in a school of higher general secondary education, yeah I looked that up haha. I'm doing crap at school because I have no motivation at all. My parents want me to finish it, but all I want is to pay my bills, working as a musician, in the future. So yeah I'm pretty desperate. I think my lyrics are quite good for someone who have only written them for a year, but who am I to say that. I'm here to get positive criticism and become better and better and furfill my dream. I've shown my lyrics on my profile on a dutch social network and people liked it, so I put strength out of that. I've always wanted to play an instrument. Piano or Guitar, but I never tried it because I was afraid that I couldn't do it, so I didn't start with it. The same story with composin music, that's something I want to do, because now I have the lyrics on paper,but I can't do anything with it.I want to make songs, on my own or with people who believe in me. I want the world to hear me. My musical influences are: Jay-Z, Jason Derulo, Ne-yo, Eminem, Drake, Rihanna etc, these are one I like the most. Jay-Z isn't number one for nothing, I think he is amazing. So I love Hip/Hop,Rap and R&B, that's the direction I want to go in with my songs too. I think my voice sounds crap, but I don't really know, because I haven't had any singing lessons or so and I don't have the talent to sing and put it on youtube and subsequently everybody loving it. So I might start rapping once I'm ready for it. Now you heard my story, I have way much more to tell, but I think some of you already started to falling a sleep and It was a challenge for me to write this, because my english isn't perfect. Thanks for reading! P.S. When I see Rihanna on the TV, I start to gab.. My girlfriend isn't happy about that.
