I started dabbling with music in February, 1988. I would mostly fool around on the organ. Then, I would borrow my younger sister's keyboard a year later, playing around on that (and I'd make tapes of what I made). I never had a singing voice, much less a speaking one, so all I'd make were instrumentals. Sure, I tried singing, and I tried to rap a few times, and both attempts sucked...PERIOD.
Fast forward to 1993, I got my first drum machine and learned to program beats. In 1994, I got my first sampler, and I started looping and chopping some of the old records I had and could get my hands on. I would try and play keyboards on top of what I sampled to add a little something extra to the music...but i didn't have a 4-track recorder.
...I just plugged everything into a boombox...
And so it went until 1998 when I got my first 4-track. As time went on, I started to re-learn some of my scales and chords on the keyboard to advance. As time went on, I started to teach myself a little guitar, bass guitar, kalimba, mbira, and a little zither.
I've tried submitting tracks to an artist (once) in 1999...the DJ liked it, but the rapper didn't. I submitted a few tracks to a couple of radio stations back in '95 with no avail...can't blame them...I sent some of my worst stuff.
To sum it all up, music is a hobby of mine. Sometimes I come up with ideas and lay down tracks, and sometimes I don't. I guess I'm not a one-track person; pardon the pun.
With that said and done, I'm out of here like dogfights in the suburbs.
