Hey all, so this is my myspace...hope you like it. Suggestions for improvement alwasy welcome! A little about me, lets start from the beginning...if you can't read, just look at the pictures...A summary of everything...I love music - performing, writing, producing, arranging. I'm a trader now for a start-up money manager in Virginia, cos I gotta eat, right?Conrads life as a composer, performer, and producer started in Columbia, MD, when he wrote and recorded his first song in the 4th grade, which ultimately sparked the realization of his ability and passion for music and performance.Conrad explains, "My passion is music, and I want to live my passion. Whether it be composing and performing my own material, or using my business background to manage and produce other talents, music is what I will do with my life. With countless shows and studio sessions come and gone, the International Business and Finance double major at Villanova University is working harder than ever to turn his dream into a reality. Now 22 and obviously much more accomplished and experienced as a musician and businessman, Conrad continues to improve his talents and gaining exposure by writing honest lyrics and story-telling ballads to which every college student can relate." (Villanovan.com)After recording a six song EP at OK Records in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Conrad began gaining publicity around the Villanova and Baltimore areas, playing at local venues and selling his album. He entered his album, B.A. Sessions, into VH-1s Song of the Year competition and shortly after was named Winner of the Adult Contemporary category for November 2005. "Burn, the winning entry, displays exceptionable songwriting skill and received the overall highest ratings in his category." (Beth Davenport, VH-1 Song of the Year)Conrad gained invaluable recording experience when his father, a multi-media producer, taught him the basics of analogue, reel-to-reel, 8 track recording and told him to go to town, and indeed he did.Conrad has recorded at Phase Studios in College Park, MD and at The Chicken Coop in Highland, MD, along with his home studio. Even with so many hours of studio, composing, and performing experience, Conrad decided to further his career in business in hopes that one day he would be able to join these two careers.Conrad is now working for Metropolitan Capital Strategies, LLC in Manassas Virginia as a trading analyst. He is furthering his experience in the music industry by playing any chance he can at local bars and music venues, mostly open-mics, and all the while composing and performing more material.
