About Me

Ace Venom
MyGen Profile Generator Kontent in an all around artist that writes, makes beats, and is now venturing into video editing. The last album he finished was "My Story; twenty o six," writing to the "free download" tracks from the many producers on soundclick.com. He is an independent artist using whatever means that allows him to create. He becomes inspired by rhythm, and can write a complete song to a track within a couple of hours at most. He will taylor his words to fit the music, sometimes even singing (he's not trying to be a singer, just showing his ability to create songs.) Some of his favorite producers on soundclick are: truescribe, ozone, and marinated music. He is always looking for tracks to bring out his creativity. When kontent gets his money right, these producers will reep the benefits they so justly deserve.

Check out his music, and if you're in the area, go see him perform, because more than likely, it's a free event. He has performed at several open mic venues in Oakland, some rally's and protest, but his most prestigious performance was being one of the opening acts for a Dead Prez concert in Feb., 2004, two days after his son was born. He also won a talent competitions that awarded him with two round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the continental US. Kontent currently lives and teaches in the city of Oakland. He is now looking to expand his visions by using video production to relay the messages he sees. Look for video projects, not just songs. If you have an idea and want to make it materialize, send him a message.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/11/2005
Band Members: my experience as an athlete has given me the abilty to understand the physical body and develop workouts to keep it in shape. as a football player and track runner, i can increase flexibility, develop and tone muscles, develop speed, and increase conditioning. i've helped train local high school athletes here in the bay area. i continue to work out myself. for those interested in toning, conditioning, or speed, drop me a line if you live in the area and let's see if we can adjust our schedules to get your body in the shape that you want.
Influences: i'm influenced by those that think and want something better for the world. this information exist in many forms. many musicians, authors, professors, teachers, athletes, entertainers, and politicians have inspired me to create. i am the sum of my experiences.BOOKS: The World and Africa, Capitalism and Slavery, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Visions for Black Men, Breaking the Psychological Chains of Slavery, Metu Neter, Ancient Future, Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization, The Falsification of the African Consciousness, The Spirit of Intimacy, Finding Your Soul Mate, and many more.
Sounds Like: ...i need to elaborate on my character a little bit. i heard about this website from a couple of different people, but my brother was the one who convinced me when he said he had his music on it. i've been trying to get my thoughts out for the longest and have the equipment, but was never able to find an audience like i needed. now that i have my music up, please feel free to give me some feedback. again, i just do it to do it.
i was born and raised in l.a. i left in 1994 where i got a scholarship to play football for arizona state university. i played defensive back, and played in the 1997 rose bowl game against ohio state. i lived in arizona for five years when, one day, it felt like i woke up. i felt like i had been dreaming and started questioning what i was doing with my life. i applied myself to my academics and excelled in my courses. this was a period of intellectual growth for me, and permanently changed the way i saw the world. i currently live in oakland and have been living out here for the past 6 years. when i realized that the world was bigger than my immediate environment, my survival instincts changed. i realized a person's survival depends on how they perceive themselves. i truly believe in the phrase that "knowledge is power" and entered the education arena to learn and create solutions so we can figure out what we need to continue down the path of progress.
i came to meet folks and network. i like to kick it like everyone else. i grew up going to parties and hangin out. i can only do so much talking without seeing someones face. i prefer to be face to face and talk, because i like to study all forms of communication. of course i'm a sucka for physical beauty, but who isn't. at the same time, that physical beauty only goes so far. so if i happen to come across your profile because of your picture, i'll ask to be your friend so i can check out your page. i will eventually start asking other questions to add depth to the interaction. i plan on putting some intriguing topics on the page, so look for me. i sometimes have a lot to talk about. enjoy the site and let's chat.
i can now add "video editing" to my resume. i am currently teaching video editing in my after school program. our final product will be a video yearbook of the school year. also, look for my first video debut coming in '08!
