Rex on "Balitang America"
Rex's Bio: I've had a passion for music since I was a kid. I grew up with a family of musicians (Is this typical?), where I learned to appreciate different instruments, styles, and music genres from big band to pop, classical to modern.
Music has always been around me. At the University of Guam, I signed on as a college radio disc jockey at KUOG broadcasting ..d circuit AM station. I also worked at Hit radio 100 (KOKU FM). I majored in Elementary Education while working my second job as a computer lab assistant.
My love for computers started in high school. I improved my craft in sound engineering and songwriting while volunteering at Guam Youth Center of Music recording studio. I discovered the connection between computers and music. Using software and MIDI devices that tie my keyboards and computer together, I learned the different types of connectivity, setups, and operation by reading manuals (Am I the only one that still reads manuals?)
I moved to sunny San Diego in California in July of 2000 where I still live. I'm continuing to perfect my skills by writing new compositions, looking at more opportunities to learn about new methods and new technologies, and occasionally digging deep down to my roots to inspire new, beautiful music.
