Lovell Waters

My name is Lovell Waters, and I'm from Pisgah Forest, N.C. I'm a singer/songwriter, and I'm working to achieve a career in the music industry as a professional singer. I've competed in local competitions as a finalist, and I've collaborated with other artists and met with promoters. I've enjoyed competing because I've made new friends, and I've received positive advice from others. I have an interest in traveling, teaching the youth to sing, and helping others who are less fortunate. I've promised myself to keep fighting until I achieve these goals. I know that singing professionally seems impossible to a number of people, but my passion for music will help me succeed. I remember being raised in a baptist church, and I still reflect on the moments I sang in the children's choir. I'll never forget about all the pastors that uplifted the congregation. Everyone would shout and dance as the choir sang, and this is one of the most positive experiences in my life. My father taught himself to play the guitar, the piano, and he sings. He's very talented. I remember all the times he asked my brothers and I to rehearse with him. My whole family can sing, but my brother Rico and I spent the most time sharing my father's passion for music. Rico and I sang in a group together. We named ourselves Brothers "N" Harmony, and we shared the same dream. In 2001, Rico was killed during a robbery. His death left me devastated, and I still struggle to talk about him. I know that he would want me to go on and share my interest in music with the world. I will fight for a career in the music industry for as long as I live, and I'm not holding back. This is for you Rico.
