About Me



Thanks and Please Let There Be Love & Peace, At Least for a While...
(Joe Chalat going nowhere, and by this I mean "traffic jam")

"I work alone" is an answer to a question "Did you work on all these songs by yourself?". It is not that I hate others to work with me; instead, I have no one to work with. I might have someone to do that; but it seems like this time of year is not the time we will meet. This is how it begins...
I'm an 20-year-old kid; so I do not have much of my life to talk about. I listen to music; and have composed a few songs, obviously ^_^. I do not need everyone in this world to like my music; but what I want is just for them to be open with art and not deny the difference. I think so many people in this world are still fooled by TV and radio channels that keep brainwashing people to like pop music. I am not saying that pop music is bad; but sometimes people are so damn blind that they ignore different kinds of music, which is, I think, unfair. Artists should be successful by skills, not marketing. I am not saying I am skillful either.

One of my lifetime goals is to find bridges that link mass entertainment to other kinds of entertainment; so that people can cross them back and forth. I would like to look at "I work alone" as stopping by a restaurant to get some food while I am on my way to find those bridges.
Be open. Do not deny. Learn to appreciate different kinds of art. Do not let mass media decide.
