About Me
Hi, my name is Livi and I love to songwrite. I have been songwriting since my freshmen year, so far, I have written over 100 songs. I reached my goal of 100 songs just a few weeks ago and I am very proud of that. Most of my songs are about relationships, whether it be with friends, boyfriends, or with God. I have enjoyed writing songs ever since my freshmen year when I wrote my first song "Rollercoaster." I started to teach myself how to play the guitar when I was sixteen by looking up the different chords and figuring out what finger goes where. I have not stopped writing since that first song and I hope I will continue to keep writing till the day I die. My name is Livi and I am a songwriter.
