We always hear that music can be an outlet; an outlet to express yourself. Whether we are writing songs and compositions, or just listening to them, music helps us to discover different layers of ourselves. After all, every person is made up of so many beautiful layers that makes each of us unique. Music gives us the platform to embrace parts of ourselves that we wouldn’t normally show to the world. You could use lyrics to express the thoughts you couldn’t speak. Or, you could create an on stage alter-ego to unleash your superhuman self. In this issue, we explore the idea of embracing all of our layers and the layers of the people around us. We will sit down with John Brautigam to learn how to cover a song, while putting your creative spin on it. We also meet Skela, a former Center Stage student who is making waves in the NY music scene.
