+Evan Carmichael I just was talking to my brother about becoming a songwriter, and he told me that I don't have the talent for this, and try to see where my talent is and go from there, but I didn't like this advice because I know that some successful people could achieve what they want to become although they didn't have the talent from the beginning, and I believe that I can do the same thing. Can you make a video about the singer Ed Sheeran? Maybe top ten or his story, I really would love
