Austin Based Artist Quentin Arispe Drops New Single – “I’m That Bitch”
The song is about owning yourself, Quentin comments, “This single is an anthem for self identity; it’s a song that you can scream cry in your car at 4 am, twerk your life away at the club, learn in a dance class, or sing when your wife is at work. I’m not here to push my ideas and lifestyle on you, I’m here to help you understand and love yourself, ALL OF YOURSELF.”
