7 Weird PRINCE facts that will inspire you to BE YOURSELF #RIPPrince

#RIPPrince

The iconic singer and artist shockingly passed today at the age of 57. The cause of death is said to be related to the “flu” but c’mon, there’s gotta be more to this story. 

Today’s #BeYourselfie Show is dedicated to the legend Prince, so I’m counting down 7 awesomely unique facts about the singer to inspire you to forge your own path in life as Prince proudly did.

It was Raspberry Beret. I was 4 years old. Yes, 4. I remember that I instantly loved it. "Mommy, who is that singing?" Seems weird but it's true. More than a "once in a lifetime" artist… Just a ONCE IN FOREVER ARTIST. I'm still in shock as I write this and I feel this overwhelming grief. But, we should all turn away from that and HONOR this musician that changed all of our lives, our perspectives, our feeling, our whole being. From another planet? Probably. Royalty, for sure. Us worthy..? Laughable. They say don't meet your idols… That they let you down. But, some of my greatest, funniest (yes, he was hilarious), and most prolific encounters and conversations about music came from the moments that I spent with him. It would be silly to say that he has inspired our music… It's beyond that. He's somewhere within every song I've ever written. I am sad, but I will smile when I think of every second that I had the fortune of being in his company. We have lost our greatest living musician. But his music will never die. Prince, NOTHING COMPARES… #RIPPrince
