About Me

Hey whatsup everybody, and welcome to my page. I've only been producing for about 8-9 months. I've always loved music my whole life and wanted to get into but just never had the opportunity or time to do it seriously. I started teaching myself piano a little over a year ago, and teaching myself guitar a few years ago. However, being in college I didn't have time to really learn alot. So after I graduated last year, while looking for a job I figured I may as well get serious and start doing music to see what I could do. Basically I spent little time practicing and a lot of time learning some scales, chords, and studying different producers and how they use their instruments, programming drums, vocal harmonies, etc.And no, I am not just a remix producer; I only did/do them because I am still fairly new at producing and wanted to hear how my music would sound with professional singers on them. That and the fact that I have no singer(s) to work with. So yes I do have, and am making original tracks as well as writing lyrics and harmonies to them.I make R&B, but I can also do a little bit of everything else. When I get a steel guitar I'mma do some country too.....lolSo any serious artists out there drop me a message if you want to collaborate or leave me a message if you like what you hear.
