Much of my family lives near the ocean, so the effects of climate change on the ocean are important issues to me. During my research, I found out that a lot of coastal cities are at risk of flooding because of rising sea levels. This means that a lot of people close to me are directly affected, and I wanted to create something that would bring attention to this problem. I decided to create music because it is an easy way to reach a wide audience. For me, music is a unique and motivational medium that allows me to connect with others and spread awareness. I hope that my song inspires people everywhere, especially young people, to educate themselves about the effects of climate change, raise awareness, and make an effort to solve this issue.
