Just me, experimenting with different musical styles that I love. I've always been a low-key fan of Samba music. Here is my attempt at a Samba song, The BC way. It's hit #1 on the (Samba Charts) a few times. I guess I did something right!
What U Wanna Do
A song about doing what u have to do, so that one day, you can do what u want to do.
