This week's BFAC featured artist @harrytregmusic on what inspired him to pursue music:

@harrytregmusic shares some original lyrics as our BFAC featured artist:
"The song is about change. It’s a contemplation on how time alters things and we can’t do a thing about it.. it’s somewhat comforting that we don’t have any control of whats around the corner y’know."
