It’ll Be OK

My creative process for writing my song It’ll Be OK was first, I started off with a topic that meant a lot to me, leaving middle school and going to high school. I spent time writing the lyrics. Then I wrote a few melodies and created the drum pattern. For the intro I was thinking it would be nice to have some calm guitar in the background. When I finished all of the parts, then I went to the Hip Hop for Change studio to record the vocals with my friend Yesenia, who is a singer and student at Oakland School of the Arts. I decided to add a female vocalist on the song singing the chorus to spice things up, and her beautiful voice added a lot to the song in my opinion. This was my overall process for creating It’ll Be OK.

Creativity means that whatever I can think of I can turn into something.Creativity also means there are no boundaries to my thoughts.When I am making music I can use my imagination combined with taking risks to produce something for others. It feels good to create something for other people.
