************************************************************ * searched for the light, got lost in the fog...but found A NEW BEGINNING... Many things have motivated my music. Akira Yamaoka’s production in the Silent Hill soundtracks is a major influence to my own sound. listening to his music consumed me into that alone world of fog and emotional depth. i started writing music when i was 11 years old (1998) but it was more like deep poetry. i took piano lessons for a short time when i was 8...i’ve always loved the piano. it’s a beautiful instrument if played right. DMX was my first lyrical inspiration...so much energy and pain, "Look Thru My Eyes" really hit me. but then 1999 came around and Silent Hill was released. I’m not a big fan of video games, but this one really stood out to me. the story was very deep and emotional. Silent Hill 2 was what really got me writing tho. it was a cross between Eddie (his pain of rejection and being pushed to where he stopped caring) and James (doing anything to get that one person you love back, no matter what kind of hell you must face). around 2002-2003, i had many songs written but no instrumentals. i did my first recordings over looped samples of Silent Hill soundtracks, then i later discovered a cheap-but-effective way of making my own instrumentals. i got one of those crappy computer mics (haha, the memories) and recorded myself playing the piano, different drum kits etc. I just took what i liked best and cut it down into seperate loops and kazaam! they weren’t platinum beats, but it was all i had at the time and i was happy. finally in 2004, a friend in High School introduced me to Fruity Loops. it didnt have the exact sound i was looking for, but it was a good start and i was at least able to produce something. on my birthday later that year, my grandfather from Hawaii helped me set up a program which allowed me to get that sound i was tryin to get. i look for the cinematic feel to my instrumentals. i want the music behind the words to tell the story just as much as the lyrics do. my melancholy image is a representation of {anyone} facing childhood/adult demons and the message is simple..."life". from the time we’re born till the day we die, everyday in between is a lesson...and i’m the teacher. i want people to hear something in my performances that’s deep and which everyone can relate to, not just in the rap/hip-hop audience. thank you all for your support and taking the time to listen and appreciate my music. God bless! I dedicate my music to my brother, *LeRoy Clark* (Born December 13th 1983 - Died October 16th 2006).I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) ____________________________________________________________ ___Rest In Peace LeRoy ClarkHeader Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!
