Be Authentic, writing authentically can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but all you need to focus on is that you have to be yourself. Stick to your writing style, how you like to sing, and to what you want to say. Don’t try to copy others or pretend you’re someone you’re not.

It's all about the Song- Remember you are there to make music and focus on music.
