Biography
I'm 24. Grew up in Chicago, ill currently living in Indiana. I been doing music since my teens. My passion is beyond words now. I live it. From songwriting, producing & engineering my own material. I've have schooling in sound production as well. I'm striving to go Major...I lack the essentials like a manager or talent scout to further my career. Hopefully it can be fufilled at SSC? My music is aslo credited by main stream artist I've toured with, open shows for & the fans who's been following my work requesting more. I look forward to closing the gap which separates me & the Major world of entertainment.
My younger years, I've done it all from football, basketball, baseball, dancing. Git lots of trophies but as I grew I wanted to do other things. I believe around 15yrs old I tood a deep intrest in music, which now speaks for itself at 24yrs old. I discovered this is something I wanted to do & had a passion for. Through the years of hard work I managed to have now almost & $10,000 studio at my home, which I produce & make all my work. I learned alot my own but also had classes on engineering & mastering. Besides doing my own work I also have clients who facilitate my studio as well.
Being raised in Chicago wasn't easy. I learned alot, but knew I wanted more as well. Yup, I came from the "Hood" were you learn things quickly, but realized I didn't want to be there anymore. Where I'm at now is comfortable...but it's time to further expand my horizons. Now in my life I'm getting main stream show cases being Independant like (Twista, Lil John, Daz Dillinger, Do-or-Die, Bubba sparxx) & it only motivated me to want more. I also realized my music were good as there's. My fans & background shows now. Myspace has played a big road in achieving major goals as well cause people were able to see first hand.
I encourage everyone to check it out for themselves it's crazy & you'll enjoy the talking, music & video's of your next Major Artist to break the scene soon. The web has opened many doors & has broken the (How to feeling) to succeed & be heard. I joined SSC to further expand my work & put it in the right hand of expert managers, talent scouts, publist, A&R director's ect.....
Realize nothing is imposible. Reach for the stars & go get what you want. Knowledge is power & realize when your futures knocking at your door. & last of all.....take advantage of your resources! Hope you guys join me, as I'm with you shooting for the Stars!
