MY MUSIC HISTORY
Music, I guess, have been a part of who I am even before I knew it. Even though I do not have any music background, and no member of my family do music, my musical talent and accomplishments are noteworthy.
As a child, I loved listening to music playing on the little radio in my room. Then, I began to memorize the songs on radio, and would sing along the next time radio plays them. I became so wrapped up in the songs the radio played that I started to write my own songs. Eventually, I wrote my first song at the age of 9. The song wasn't the best, but for a 9 year old, the concept was excellent.
At age 13, I would memorized all the songs on radio and would sing them for everyone in school. Though I excelled greatly in class, I was the best when it came to songs. At 14 years of age, I was ready to go out of control music-wise. I had my head filled with almost all the songs on radio, from all the 2pac's songs, to the entire Notorious B.I.G's Life after death tracks, amongst countless others. A year later, I was everyone's favourite -after winning a couple of awards in stage performances, everyone in my school would look for me to just rap for them. That year, at age 15, I wrote another song, a much better song.
In the same year, at just 15 years 5 months, I was winning numerous awards for my music talent. Awards which included: Best Stage Performance for performing Notorious B.I.G's "Sky's the limit", Best Rap Group for performing Naughty by Nature's "Mourn u till I join u", and Best Rapper of all time. My passion for music was at a very high level that year that I barely watch TV, but stuck to my little radio.
In 2001, I picked up song-writing again. I wrote from experiences of all I had gone through, I wrote about my self, my life. And every week, I would write, at least, one new song, sometimes, I would write two songs. As I wrote, I seeked record deal, but it never came. Years passed, but I never relent. Just a few months ago, a friend of mine from a record company in Virginia beach, VA introduced me to myspace, and so far, it has helped me reach out to a good number of influential people in the music industry, and have helped me establish my now rapidly growing fan-base, presenting me a new horizon to expand my options to present my music to the world.
MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I am a part of the AIA (Association of Independent Artistes), a non-profit generating organization based primarily in California. AIA is designed to serve as a networking platform for artistes all over the world Click here to learn more about the AIA . I was appointed to review artists that are to be featured (or showcased) on the association's webpage, or to be considered for their concert series and other purposes. Artistes that I have reviewed for the AIA includes Babs Bunny (MTV's making the band), Deffrey P (MTV's making the band) amongst many others.
I was also featured on the AIA's webpage. Not only was I the first non-US based artiste to feature on the AIA's page, I passed all records ever set in the featured artists' history. I enjoyed a play-count of over 1000 in less that 2 weeks. A mark no other artiste have ever come close to reaching.
As a kid with little means, I have thought myself to be a professional writer, a producer, and a studio engineer. I play a few musical instruments too. These includes the keyboard, flute, and recorder. I am able to write and read music note. As a producer, I have made beats not just for myself, but for others too. I have been able to work with Steinberg Cubase SX, Fruity loops 4 and FL 6. I have been able to mix songs with Acid music studio 6 and Sound forge 8. All these are self thought, for I never went to any music school nor have any professional teach me to use them.
THE NAME
DEX! is a name which when broken down, is D EX !. Ex is the same as X, which means Unknown. In effect, the name means The Unknown. I got the name because I have always been a low profiler. The exclamation mark indicates me being full of surprises.
MY KIND OF MUSIC
I write basically hiphop music, clean-cut hiphop songs. I do have the ability to write a little R&B too. I do not write gangstar raps, neither do i curse in my music. I don't write about killing people, nor any other form of violence. I must add that I am a very flexible rapper, I write in different syles and forms, and on different tempo.
Currently unsigned, there is every optimism of making a noteworthy impact in the music industry. Apart of doing his thing as a rapper/producer, he is currectly working on developing a few other underground rappers and singers in achieving their goals in the music industry.
Dex! is opened to producing songs for artistes, demo CDs, and mixtapes. He is also opened for collabos too.
