10 Wise

Joy is worth pain, Beauty is worth sorrow

About Me

10 Wise is a phrase I use to indicate keeping high goals and not settling for less. The Most High dreams, standards and aspirations. 10 Wise as a project is my music. Styles ranging from Hard Core, to Rock, to Funk, to Fusion to Blues to Jazz have been covered. The songs included here as of now are my more recent ones. Unless otherwise specified I do all vocals, all instruments and writing on all tracks (drums however are Giga single hit samples put through Reasons Redrum). More eclectic and diverse tracks to be coming. Originality, diversity, creativity, eclecticism, technical skill, and soul are the goals. Hope you enjoy.God Bless, Adrian Myspace Layouts
