I'm in my fifth year on the blockchain and despite an initial reluctance due to my dislike of social media I'm still here and engaged. I write a few things here and there, make a comment or two and generally try to represent myself as well as possible; it's mostly been a lot of fun. original im src
Sometimes I'm asked what keeps me here, how I stay motivated and, most often, how I stay as engaged as I am. All great questions and all with the same simple answer. You. Yeah...You.
It's the people that keep me connected, interested in connecting, and whilst I may not be to everyone's taste there's enough people who seem happy to connect with me. Sometimes a person drifts into my sphere and leaves a comment or I'll see a post that sparks an interest in me and I scratch the surface of that person a little. It's nice to do so and I've enjoyed those connections greatly. This post is about one such person.
A little while ago I ran into @edenmichelle and came to understand she was a singer, songwriter, producer and DJ. I know right, impressive. We conversed on posts occasionally and it became apparent was that she was very good; I thought so anyway.
What's super-cool is all that singing and song-writing is not something she does in the basement, it's her job; She's a professional artist. Eden is out there making things happen in the real world; Grinding it, working hard, setting aside fear and doubt and getting after it. I'm a reward for effort guy and so I respect that, and that she remains grounded
She's talented, multi-faceted and, from what I can tell, is an incredibly creative and driven young lady who knows a little something about the reward for effort ethos. I'm pleased to have connected with her.
Eden, under the professional name Eggsta, has just released her latest track and I felt inclined to share it with y'all because I think it's cool that this hive-personality is making things count out in the real world and the track is kind of smooth.
Eden wrote the lyrics, music and did the production-work on this track (I told you she was good) and collaborated with Lee Cole on the final product so take a listen and go visit her account and show her some hive-love ok? She's legit.
I've linked another track from YouTube called You and I that I find really beautiful - She has a lovely voice indeed. I hope you'll take a listen for yourself and maybe head over to her posts and give her a shout-out.
New release: BAE - Eggsta feat. Lee Cole
Eggsta: You & I (acoustic)
I was five years old when I began to play the piano and all my life have been moved through music. One doesn't need to be a musician to be touched by it though, connected through it. Music has incredible power for all who open themselves to it.
Music can reach within and take hold, move a person deeply and bring people together across vast distances through space and time itself; it connects people when other things cannot. It's beautiful and to have the chance to reach out and thank the artist directly, like I can with Eden, is special, or so I believe.
So, thank you Eden. 😏
