Why am I in love with music? The fact that I can’t truly find a definition for music irks me, but also makes me curious. Through my unrelenting curiosity, I begin to feel obligated to share this indefinable genre of life. The idea that a single note can create a domino effect producing frequencies of love, hope, peace, and confidence inspires me to become enthralled by the combinations of melodies and chords coming together to create harmony. Which furthermore, exposes the mystery of the soul, of whoever is producing these sounds. Something that really inspires my music is “The Butterfly Effect” which is an accumulatively large effect that a natural force may produce over a period of time. With this power, I am mastering my craft, through my simple sparks of creativity. I can change, influence, revolutionize, enlighten, and be something to someone in a way I could never imagine. That figure can be a hero, brother, lover, or an overall example. I will never know the extent of what my ideals can cause ripples, waves, and tsunamis of optimistic feelings shared through my passion of music. The philosophy behind my music is simple; I want people to smile. I hope my musical energy can calm and even excite the listeners enough to make them feel empowered. I would love to speak for the mute, listen for the deaf, and see for the blind (not literally). By “being their senses” I will give people hope by providing them with the freedom, through, music to seek the knowledge that they cannot be taught in school. I want to create a gateway, an escape in the midst of everyone’s dilemmas. I want to create a forum where people are allowed to be selfish in their selflessness, being within while also without. John Donne says, “No Man is an Island.” I like to surround myself with good people, creators, revolutionaries, and inspirers, people with good positive vibes. Being a Music Producer, I create and support others creations. Sometimes a fantastic thing happens where our separate ideas come together to make something absolutely amazing. I believe collaboration creates the best products, it’s where you truly share: selflessness. Being a Music Producer allows me to be selfish yet selfless using both my skills and fusing it with someone else’s; I can be within while also without. When working with an artist, I believe it’s the artist responsibility to paint the picture. As the producer, I’m just here to provide the artist the paintbrush, canvas, or paint. The overall message in my music is to love and be love, to be happy, and to have peace of mind. My favorite part of being a musician is the therapeutic effect it has on people. Its not what you hear that makes you love the song yet it’s how the song makes you feel. Two things I can’t control the past and future, but today I can do as much as I couldn’t do yesterday, and hopefully I’ll have another chance to do it again tomorrow.
I come from a city where I witness a lot of pain. From the youth to the elders of my community are set back by society and most don’t know better to be better. I was not able to afford to continue my Berklee education in 2015 and my life changed dramatically when I came back home. I worked in a funeral home as a funeral director assistance by day and at night an engineer and producer at a studio nearby in Newark. For the summer I taught a couple years at a summer camp teaching music but it wasn’t until the summer of 2017 that gave me the clarity of what I need to do with my music so I can then help my community. From the funeral home to teaching the inner-city youth change my perspective of life and taught me to value my time like no other. Some experiences are too graphic to speak on this platform but upon the many stories I’ve encountered, allowed me to understand the struggles and pain of my community. This recharged my passion tremendously to fight back oppression and injustices. No longer am I hunger for success I’m starving now! I always had an interest to connect my sounds to a visual, I hear the cries and translate that into melodies I want to write the soundtrack of my community. I aspire my music to match what I’ve witness in my life time. Eventually I’ll be able to create a brand that can provide the means to uplift my community such as the education system, poverty, and housing to name a few. I want to create a forum where people are allowed to be selfish in their selflessness, being within while also without.
