FRUSTRATION?

About Me

For Web & Graphic Design
- NOW TAKE'N ORDERS! -
Ike, The Man...
I am an up and coming independent artist from the west side of Philadelphia, PA. The types of music I'm into are Hip Hop/Rap & R&B/Soul. I also have advanced experience in computer technology, which has helped me "DIY" in plenty of categories. The experience I have comes from self determination and I guess everything just comes to me naturally. I have possessed these skills for years without ever having to acquire any education available in the particular fields. When that time for a class roll'd around in H.S., I fail'd Web Design because of lack of interest and only attend'd my Graphic Design class 3 days out of the year. I was a major hallwalker but still I pass'd Graphic Design with a 98 A+ because I completed all of my projects two to three years prior to having the class. When the assignments were announced, I simply brought in old work that I had design'd at home in my free time as a hobby and still proficiently out-performed the junior class with work done by a seventh grader. Not to mention being in the "Class of '05" and a year younger than everyone else...
I compose my own lyrics, make my own beats, produce/arrange my own tracks, and also design/create my own album art, graphics, posters, & web pages. I refer to myself as being the “All-’N-One” man hence my frequent use of the infinity symbol (∞). When I want to get something done, I do it myself. If I don’t know how, then I learn how to. As long as I have an interest and desire to complete a task or overcome an obstacle then I will "MAKE SURE" I get it done. That's Universal Talent at it's finest. I have finally design'd and have my MySpace Music Page up and running as I need this web page in order to help promote myself...
Currently I'm work'n on my debut single and have just completed my first Mixtape, "The Foundation" mark'n this Mixtape as being my initial ground to stand on while I work my way up. Be sure to contact me and get your copy. I have just recently (4/08) finished set'n up my home/bedroom "studio" which ran me a great amount of money on a new computer with plenty of extra advanced hardware, HDTV (Which I'm Sell'n To Get A 52" 16:9; Offers Start'n At $700), and audio hardware/software, especially the DAW (I'm Not Dumb'n Anything Down So If You Don't Know Then Take A Note & Self-Educate Yourself). It All required plenty of research and patience, but it was well worth it. Now I can get up and record a track or make a beat whenever I get the urge... I MAKE SURE!!!
While you're pass'n through, take the time to listen to my tracks and rate them. Leave some comments to let me know your opinions. Do not hesitate to befriend; send me a comment anytime and I'll get back to you. I will also post blogs every then and then so be sure to post your thoughts on those. Also look through my pictures and comment a few; also be sure to sign up for the Mailing List and the Guestbook. Add my songs to your profile as well if you're really feel'n them. In closing, thanks for your time and I'm West Philadelphia's Eligible Candidate. Election Day Is Com'n, and I'm Run'n Against Many... - iKe
