Groove (The Music Page)

Rough around the edges but I'm solid at the core!!

About Me

Simply put, Music is life. You can't have Jazz without classical, Blues without Jazz, Soul without Blues, Funk without Soul and ya DAMN sure wouldn't have Rock or Hip-Hop if it weren't for all of the above...
So needless to say, what's the point of learning a craft if you're only gonna study peices of it?
Groove Started playing around with drums when he was old enough to hold a stick. Being exsposed to everyone from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin and Muddy Waters, to James Brown and Aretha Franklin... His feel was surpassed, only by his love for the music itself.
Until he was old enough to venutre out into the culture that HIS generation embraced, he embraced that of his elder family. Once he was introduced to the world of B-Boying, D.J.ing and Emceeing, coming together collectively to form what what we now identify with as Hip-Hop... It was a wrap.
Already being heavily interested in writing and Poetry, the love for it all grew, through Hip-Hop.
Nowadays he's doing things in just about every corner of the music field. Writing and performing in several different genres of music, and playing different roles with every project he's involved in. From Production, writing, and performing to instrumentation, recording and touring.
Groove will not be the next big rapper... That's not his goal...
Nor will he be the new temporary virtuoso in any other way...
The goal is connection, truth, longevity and meaning...
Groove will be a movement. A legacy built on a prelaid structure and not to be finished in his time...
The whole point to this is to take what the previous greats have left, and add your own imperfect perfections to it. Leaving it so that when your flame has burned out, the next breed will have something to build on...
Making all of us a part of the past, present AND future.
Allowing us to LIVE THROUGH periods in time that we didn't actually LIVE IN.
Be about something... Humans die but legacies are immortal...
MUSIC IS FOREVER ! !

To be perfectly honest with you, You would definately run outta time reading this, before I would run outta inspirations and influences. . . Music was my family during the times where I could not seek shelter and comfort with my own. . .

I've listened and heard everything my ears and brain could grasp for years, and it's all inspired me and influenced me heavily. In every way imaginable. . .
Now it's time to see if I can give back and do my craft justice . . .
