DeRon’te, goes by the name of pRiNcEe MaRSz. He has been writing poems and songs since he was 8. He reads music, makes awesome beats, and plays many instruments. Putting rhymes together has always been easy for him. Just another skill he learned early in life. He has received several different writing awards. He has a gift that he wants to pursue and enhance in life. A dream that has now become a reality where others can also enjoy the talents he has to offer. He attends Westside high school in Augusta GA. This young man has charisma, style, and words that need to be heard. While putting his pen in transition, I know its more songs to be heard. Listen up for DeRon’te “pRiNcEe MaRSz”

If you like to draw you need to take classes to enhance your skills. Be around other artist to get ideas and learn different prospective. Get your parents

Enroll and try to engage in every talent show case, school programs and church event to get rid of stage fright and build stage presence. Conditioning is most important key of all. Knowing all the ropes and

how to present yourself and talent to the public. Build a fan base by talking to the by talking to the crowd after each show or art showing. Ask how they felt about the event and what their favorite was and lease favorite part of the show. Don’t give up or give in. Everyone even family can say hurtful things that can make you want to stop progressing. But do take constructive criticism and use it as a tool to help you improve. Learn to copyright your work. It is never to early, someone and might steal your work and call it their own. I have seen it happen so always be prepared. If you stay on task and step ahead the rest. Whatever you do make it original and unique to set you apart. You will succeed and fulfill your dreams. I believe in YOU!!!
