MUSIC IS MY LIFE
I produce but it always wasn't that way
When I was in my mothers stomach
She went to a DAS-FX concert
When I was small my dad played old jazz like, Miles and Dizzy
I went to an OutKast concert at the age of two at my mom's college
I made sound effects later to myself known to my self as beatboxing at the age of 5
I took note of lyrics and remember every word to every song I liked at the age of 7
I started to write poetry which later became raps at the age of 9
In the sixth grade I met up with Matt
Who Dj-ed and I Mc-ed
We formed a rap group(Voice of Reason)
We weren't to great, but kids at the school knew the songs
I became a full fledged MC
Yet as Matt made beats I sat and watched closely
I learned from him and did my own thing
The group slowly faded
High school came
I received my Mac Book equipped with Logic Pro and Garage Band
I now produce now
For kids in the MTC hoping one of these days they will be heard
It's more then a hobby it's a passion
I love the way an old melody fits with heavy percussion
The way Aretha's voice can be a melody by itself
Taking video game sounds to make a beat
Giving myself the chance to listen to music for inspiration
Taking myself on musical missions into decades way before my time
I put ALOT into what I do
Mainly because I have pride in what I do
This is why I produce
My influences for production are
Large Professor
DJ Premier
DJ Marley Marl
Just Blaze
9th Wonder
etc.
I listen for sounds
And not to be cliche in the moment
I see pictures in my head
My fingers move as if a MPC was at my hands
The pattern sticks
Music is in my DNA
It is in my upbringing
It is the most pivotal thing in my life
It is me
I am the vinyl spinning on O.G. turntables
What Tuesdays used to mean
The cardboard on the street turned into the dance floor
The radio on your shoulder
The favorite radio station playing new music
The bass
The snare
The hi hat
The kick
The tom
The sample
The melody
I am the music
And the music is me
The Brain is the Music
And the Music is the Brain

I have infinite respect for you and your love of music.
Why thank you very much if I have failed to mention
I also love music for the love of the people
And how they love music as much as me
