3 Gigs, 1 Month

There are no words to express how I feel at this point in my life...

Now that may seem a little ironic considering I am currently writing words, to "express" how I feel.

What am I fluffing on about? Everything that has taken place over the years and also in the last month alone.

For you to even begin to see the method behind the madness, you have to take a look at where I came from and what inspired me.

I got in to making music to do something which I was intrigued by. I liked the concept of giving people a message and telling your own story creatively for others to learn from.
To give a different and compelling insight in to your own personal experiences and day to day occurrences.

So I studied effortlessly in to the game: reading books by music authors, insider interviews, secrets, strategies, watched rap battles, watched music conspiracy documentaries, spent time with execs and major and indie owners. This only

I have a fire inside so strong that tells me to act upon my love for my craft, there is no one on the face of this Earth that could dissuade me from my beliefs, I've got the people I love on my side, my team and god to support me and I, they.

Everyday I wake up, my mind is on cloud 99, as I am constantly thinking and planning, to make moves materialise. I have fun however, don't get it twisted, but work is the thing that gets my day to a complete position for me. I had to be selective about the company I kept, which meant saying goodbye to people that I have known for most of my life, but those may have been the best decisions I had made as apart of achieving what I needed.

They say look out for number one, but until number one is accounted for, all the other numbers can get no light of day. Think about that!

New Innovations, New Creations

This is where the fun begins...

I decided to start writing a new blog that would be dedicated to writing about my / my company's music adventure, as I wanted to separate my experiences in to manageable and bite sized chunks. We know people have different things they relate to respectively.

This will be somewhat of a story and an original experience, involving people I encounter and work with,
ideas I came up with, places I have traveled to work I and my company have been apart of.
Hopefully I can use this to inspire others to do the same, as everyone has an important story, as silly or insignificant you may think it sounds to others.

I've been apart of music from the age of 12 actively, but I used to memorize lyrics and keep track of the beat in the background. I used to (and still do) break down the song in to smaller bits, to understand the nature of the song and why it was used the way it was.

My mother introduced me to her taste in music, which consisted of tapes by Ginuwine, Missy Elliot, Toni Braxton, Tupac, Busta Rhymes and loads more; so naturally, my initial experience was music created and inspired by black artists. Music is tremendously powerful. beyond human perception in fact, as these artists, in their own way inspired me to do what they do.

I'm going to open up that chapter soon enough!
Keep reading people!
