About Me

Hello out there in myspace world. My name is Chad. My friends call me CHAZ, CHODE, CHA CHE, or CHIZZLE. Im a 29 year old male from Minnesota. 1st thing you should know about me is that im a music freak. I am a graduate from IPR, the Institue for Production and Recording. My goal and dream is to make a living off working in some part of the music indutry in Minnesota or around (perferably production or talent management). I love all stlyes, generas, types, sounds, textures of music out there. Mostly I listen to rock or metal. Some styles I dont really care for, but I can find something in it I like (I own a justin timberlake cd, that cd is hot). Other things you should know about me. I have 1 dog, MAX. And a cat, DUBIS. I am a pretty outgoing person at times. Ill talk to whoever. And if its about music even better. If there is anything else you would like to know about me please ask. LATER

My Interests

Music music and music. I love to go check out local music at bars or clubs. You never know what your going to hear. Sometimes bands sux and sometimes I see a great band and ill buy a cd. I try to go to a local show atleast once a week. I go only to a few national acts but not nearly as much as I use too. I play a little guitar, bass and program drums. But mostly produce and the biz side. I also like to play basketball or baseball, and watch the Twins or the Vikings whoop that ass on tv. I play some video games (mostly Halo). But only like 2 hrs a month if that. Most of my time is devoted to music and learning my kraft.
