New Year’s Resolutions: Staying Sober and Making An Album for 2015
2015 is officially here.
To ring it in, an estimated 175,000 people packed into Underground Atlanta Wednesday night for the 26th annual Peach Drop.
Aspiring artist, “Queen,” reflected on her 2014 as she waited inside a nearby barbershop for headliner Ludacris to hit the stage. “My 2014 was great,” she said. “I moved out here to Atlanta to pursue my music career and it has been the best year thus far. It’s exciting, because a lot of things are coming into to perspective.”
Queen currently works as a stylist, but she’s keeping positive about her aspirations to become a hip-hop artist.
“I see myself signed to either a major label or having the independent funds to back my project,” Queen said of what she expects in 2015.
Also braving the night’s brisk wind and cold temperatures behind the stage was Luana Simpkins of LaGrange, Georgia. She hoped 2015 will bring a fresh start.
“[2014] was a rough one, but this year I expect to bring in the New Year right,” she said. “I’m expecting a lot of good things to happen in my life.”
Simpkins said this New Year’s Eve was the first time in twenty years she’s been clean and sober.
“Don’t give up. Everyday gained is everyday won,” Simpkins advised. “It’s been 20 years for me and I cannot believe I’m doing [this well], and I’m proud of myself.”
