About the Author

Giles D. Geneyus

It was through writing that I found an escape. I had so many feelings bottled inside and found that writing was a healthy way to express myself. I studied the artists that I could relate to that were like me having been through similar struggles; artists that were giving me advice and encouragement. Now it has become a mockery all beats and no substance. Everything the talented artists having worked for now being brought down by “wanabees.”
