I'm not a producer, I am a singer/songwriter/arranger/composer
I play acoustic piano and keyboards, drums, and I want to learn a little guitar too
I know chord charts and sheet music
Been playing piano since I was knee-high, been taken classical lessons for 6 years, I know how to play blues and jazz, so pop is no problem. I have several awards for composition and performance, been in festivals, recitals, concerts. I can transcribe any song(that means hear it and write down a chart, go to a piano and play and sing the song)
I've composed the background music for a play, which is another practical use of music that you probably have never thought of
I have a 4 octave range as a singer, although you might as well say three because guys usually don't get but so high anyway, I've sang in a gospel choir, school groups, quartets
I'm also a rapper, I take rapping seriously, I have never lost a battle in my life. I can honestly say I am a better rapper than 60% of the rappers you hear on the radio. It would take some Eminem freestyling dude straight outta Queens to rip me, seriously. I'm no joke with a pen and a pad. Rapping is a legitimate vocal art.
I've performed in theatres, clubs, coffee houses, churches, and my next goal is the arena.
-------
I am transferring to a 4 year college where I will continue training under some of the best singers(they have jazz vocals there, so pop vocals will be like ABCs compared to that ****) and best classical and jazz pianists in the world.
Right now I am so busy, I simply stay in the groove musically by being a session musician and going to lessons when I find time. I have worked with 4 producers with their own real studios. REAL STUDIOS. The kinds you DRIVE TO. I have NEVER TOUCHED ProTools in my life. I'd rather do music without it personally. The college that I am transferring to has an IN HOUSE RECORD LABEL, so I will be releasing EPs and perhaps an LP in less than 4 years. I am only 20, so I have lots of time in the industry.
So yeah, I don't "do music", music is my life and blood and my passion, and my #1 woman catcher. I don't even talk or even sing sometimes I just play piano and all the work is done for me...***** shields, LJBF, simple disinterest have all been crushed...I don't even care what a woman thinks unless she is a special woman, and those only come around so often....
Fingers said it himself, make whatever you do art...Just another of good advice falling on deaf ears
My **** is so deep, I could just bang my head on a keyboard and people would burst into a standing ovation.
So yeah, I know maybe a few things about women, again this is just the internet here guys
but attracting women is no problem, its as simple as get a life problem solved...if you can't maintain a good smell, a haircut, a shave, and semi-white teeth then damn....
But please don't ever ever ever ever ever disrespect music by saying you simply "do music" because music is MY LIFE. Really...don't. I'm not even saying this like I am sitting in my basement with some speakers, a keyboard, and a mixing board and a computer, I am talking professional musician. PROFESSIONAL.
REAL ACTION AND PROOF VS. INTERNET FAME
