My name is Journey Dayne, and I am a musician. I work very hard every to become something and someone in the future.
I first started playing music when I was three years old. When I first held those drums sticks in my hands I felt like I do anything. My dad had gotten me a drum set for Christmas and I never left that seat. There were times my dad would hide my drums because I would be so annoying... I sometimes would just beat on them just to annoy him. One day, I was practicing to a song by one of my favorite artists, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and I was doing something wrong so, he took the drumsticks and showed me what to do. Well... when all the instruments cut into the song.. my dad got a little excited and beat my snare a little to hard and put a big hole in it. I was pretty upset that day but, I couldn't put all the blame on him... they were cheap. They had stars on the side and sparkles on the hi hats. Back then, I thought they were amazing.
On my seventh birthday I was able to hold my very own Paul Reed Smith. I was so in love with that beauty. My dad was kind of relieved that I took a break from the drums. I had the worst attitude when it came to the actual lessons because when I couldn't get that one finger on that one string... I would get so mad.
Around when I was thirteen, I started working on the bass. I was so excited because it was one of the most simple thing had ever done. I would put songs on youtube and just jam with that song. Bass is the heart of the music. Some people look at it like it is a fatter and more heavier Guitar... no. I love the bass.. It is one of my favorites.
We all sing... we sing in the shower, in the car, and the stars sing on the stage. I do a lot of singing in my room. I like to be alone in case I did something embarrassing no one else would see or hear it. When I am upset, I aways put on my favorite song on and sing my heart out. I am going to give credit to my mom for giving me singing lessons. She is an amazing teacher.
Song writing can be easy if you write from your heart. That sounds kind of cheesy but, it is true. Whatever you are feeling in your life and you write that down then you really shouldn't have any problems. I have only written four or five songs, but every single song has every feeling and thought I had in that time.
When I get older, I want to move to the " Big Apple ". I know that there are so many choices and chances that I could experience. I think that New York is so beautiful... especially at night. I know I might just sound like a dreamer.. but the people who are stars now had to dream before they became who they are now.

My Family, Friends, and I
My family is so amazing. They support me with every decision that I make. I couldn't ask for a better family.
Just a little information.. my parents have been divorced ever since I was three years old and it is kind of rough if I am honest. I know that they love me and they would do anything for me.
My Nana is the bomb.com! she would always come to my basketball or volleyball games and would never miss anything that I thought that was important.
On my dads side of the family we are very musical. We are also very close, We know if we need anything that we can always go to each other. I don't know what I would of without my family.
My Friends are also like my family. I can always count on them for anything.
Zayra and Lauren are my Best friends. They give advice when I need help in life. I have plenty of other really good friends.... Like I have two other really good guy friends, Sterlling and Jaron.. they give me reasons to smile. If I didn't have any friends or family I don't know how I would survive in this world. I believe that the reason me and my friends aren't related is because my mom probably couldn't handle us all together in one house.
I am so great full for everything that I have in life... especially me friends and family.
I never mentioned one of my best friends that anyone could possibly have... Her name is Madison. We have known each other ever since the day we were born. She used to live with me and we would do so many things together... I remember one day we put on shorts and a tank top... put way to much makeup on and stood under my car port waiting for our ''guy friends" to come pick us up to go to a "party". We waited like a full hour and no one came... we were so heart broken... but then we got over it and went on the trampoline with the sprinkler and had a party on there.
Naudia... another really close friend.. moved not to long ago... I miss her so much. Before she left, she would always come over. One night I was cleaning the house to surprise my mom and I was getting tired. I knew for a fact that naudia was awake... so I gave her a call and she came running to my house.. we almost burnt the house down... yea.. so we had to stop lighting random things on fire. But my point is that I love her so much and I couldn't imagine my life without her.
Lauren is like my music buddy. She always helps me with things I don't quite understand with music. She always comes over on weekends and every time she does, the first thing I do is grab my guitar and we jam. She has such a beautiful voice... She sings like an angle. I love Lauren so much..
Zayra... She is my Bestfriend and I love her so much! She makes me so happy and I don't know what I would do without her. Zayra keeps me in line but, she lets by some curves. When I fall, she always laughs at me then picks me up, then we laugh together. Zayra is beautiful, smart, talented, mean, and clumsy and I love everything about that girl. When I move, it will be so hard to say goodbye. She was always two blocks from me but now I will be 5 Hours from her. I love you Zayra... I always will.

Zayra and I doing what we do best... being weird.... ;)
My favorite movie is Harry Potter.. I think that it is just so entertaining. I love the intensity in the movies and just everything about it.
I normally don't like to read but when it comes to any of the Tempest series... sign me up! Those books are amazing! The first book had me crying like a little kid. It had so much detail and I could imagine everything that was going on. |
