Hey everyone,
I would say music is much like my outlet into the world where only my choices and my feelings matter. If I had to classify my sound it would be Hip-Hop/Soul with an R&B feel.
Music is personal to me. Each detail, every note resonance, all pitch and the picture in itself matters. Its really hard to decide when a piece is complete because nothing is ever perfect. But, I aim to make my overall feeling as even as possible without taking away from all of the flavor of the instruments. I don't just hear sound. What I hear translates into a visual picture of where I want everything to be. The overall scope that I see in my mind is round but to make that roundness happen the pieces need to be placed in the right place. So, enough of that...
When I was younger I can’t actually say that I had one individual influence from music. I would more appropriately say that music as a whole was and still is my influence. I grew up listening to different types of artists music. Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Brotha Lynch, 2Pac and much more but soul is what all of them have in common. From the different and diverse styles of music to the many things that makes music so common. Everything is very important.
My focus in school pretty much revolved around music. I got good grades mostly so that I could stay in band and everyone would stay off my case. Through high school I learned what it met to be dedicated, the sacrifices that are needed to be made to accomplish a goal and all of the hard work thats needed to make the goal come to life. So, when I marched DCI (Drum Corp International) it only made me realize that everyone makes sacrifices for the overall goal.
I spend every minute of spare time pushing toward the sound that I want the world to hear. Now I am satisfied with what I've done and I hope you can sit back, listen and enjoy what I've created also.
