ABLE'S OFFICIAL MUSIC PAGE
To start with i am not named Able by my folks, but i was supposed to be. My mother wanted me to be called Able, but for some reason i was named somethin' else after someone else. But that's how i'd like to be known, Able. I was raised in an orthadox environment in which music was only a part of. My father is the most efficient human i've seen and been with, by efficieny i mean bibilical values. I still move with guilt. And i still do not know if my music is a gift or a curse.
I never paid attention to what the artists had to say in their songs. Dint care or know who the artists were either. I started my musical journey back while i was in my 9th grade. i got a tape deck as a gift when i joined my school hostel. Listening to music was everybodys favorite hobby back then, thought i could make it mine too. After a couple of sleepless nights with my tape deck, Megadeath became my favorite band, then Metallica, Limp bizkit, Korn an who not. Rock changed me, from what i was and who i was supposed to be, to a more elaborate, agressive, not so sober personality.
But what i am now is mostly because of Hip Hop. Me being darker than most where i lived at, was discriminated in the community, even by own aunt. Guess thats what got me hooked onto Dre2001. I was just another listner most of life until i fell in love. I too wrote a poem and another one and then another one. I could rhyme but could i flow??
Can i flow?? I use a 5MB sized recording software called 'reaper' and a 13 year old mic which was used by my father to record his gospel verses. Even now, every time i hold that mic, i feel guilty as for the purposes my father and i use it for. I make my own money, since siverely influenced by the hip hop culture i make some 'more' money. Some day i will give it all up, im sure, i should, they all do. Until then you can hear me spit my verses in here. Im not a big fan of my own lyrics, its not that i cant write better verses, its just ill end up cursing a lot more people and situations which i think i must do so only after prove my pressence in this business.
Smile.

I am Indian and i am proud to be one. Most of my "Knowledge Of Self" comes from my father. Althouth the knowledge which i've stated above has not been refelcted in my music i'd like to call ma collection of tracks, Knowledge Of Self, dedicated to my father, my mentor, my idol.
In recent past i did use my skills for a purpose. I did record two choruses and two verses for an independent record label based in bangalore, for their brand new album, up for grabs at, www.clingout.com. Shout out to everybody who was involved and for the oppertunity to participate. I'd also been emceeÃn at a nightclub called Fusion Lounge and others clubs which demanded my pressence. I also did live shows for the label mentioned above.
With so much achived why am i not happy/satisfied? Because i dont get the respect nor the money. They take my kindness for weakness. Will i stand up again if called for, Yes i will. Why??Maybe its the attention.
I will drop a free demo album up for download before i leave. Yes i plan to leave. Quit, in other words. I wish everybody who dont know me to hear me, who've heard me to know me. That i guess is the purpose of the music you are listening to right now. Im human too, if money comes along the way ima pick it up, but i will not ask for it. I've helped everyone i care for in a way or the other, so i dont owe this world nothing.
