True Montana TM
One April night in Paterson, New Jersey under the fire sign of Aries, a little girl came into this world. Who could have known how much fire she would face and how much fire would live and grow inside her. Born two months premature with a strong will and independence, she would do things that seemed peculiar. Her mother tells the story of when True was four years old, how she would stand on the kitchen table hairbrush in hand and sing with her favorite songs. Her parents sang with her and encouraged her love of music. Although times were good, times were also very hard. She lived in a three-room apartment, where she learned to fend for herself. Both parents worked long hours and True would often be left alone, leaving her imagination to flourish. True began writing poems at the age of thirteen. Growing up in the very urban Paterson, New Jersey, Salsa, Merengue, R&B and Hip Hop Music would be heard throughout her neighborhood. In High School she met many MCs and DJs, which influenced her passion for poetry into writing rhymes and songs. True met a popular local DJ at that time and joined his group. He helped her to develop her rhyming skills and taught her to DJ. She would perform at talent shows, local carnivals, parades and block parties every chance she could get. She interned at various recording studios just to learn the equipment and how to produce. True took up television and radio production in college, and stage-managed several school plays. She would be involved in anything that had to do with music or acting. After college, she attended and graduated from Sam Ash Music Institute in New York, where she received her Recording Engineering Degree. Following graduation, through a mutual friend she met Stephan Galfas who was managing many recording artists at the time. Mr. Galfas was looking for an assistant and found it in True. She wanted to learn every aspect of the music industry. The eight-hour commute to Connecticut and five hours sleep a day was small price to pay in her eyes. True brought an MPC 3000, this allowed her to continue to express herself and to grow as a producer. Dealing with tough times she lived with roommates barely getting by, struggling to survive. True owned a small Television and VCR, the Television had poor reception which left her with one viewing option, the one movie she had in her library, Scarface A.K.A Tony Montana almost every night. True threw herself into making beats often making three or four beats in one sleepless night. One night in New York City Toni a friend of Trues was singing at an open mic. It was during this event Toni introduced her to a mutual friend SONIX, a music producer. SONIX encouraged her to make an album of her own, told her to believe in herself and her own abilities. Thus The Last Laugh CD from True Montana was born. All of the struggles, violence, poverty, humiliation, and urban life would finally find there way into the pages of her notebook and become an incredible CD that was in the making her entire life.
With True Montanas incredible musical abilities the outcome The Last Laugh the CD is nothing short of fire and perfection. The good and bad times from the start to the present have finally manifested.
