As
Mark Twain
said: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the
safe harbor. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Simply this means take
yourself out of your comfort zone, like for instance when I started
writing, and mixing my own music. Even before that I was taking music
lessons in Piano, Keyboards,Guitar, and
Bass Guitar.
All at the same time and the question that I kept asking myself was
always: "Am I as good as anyone else?" So what I had done, while I was
living in
Maryland. Was that I had challenged myself, by going and taking summer music classes and one of the best
music schools in Maryland, and in the
United States. Which was
Peabody Institute of
John Hopkins University.
And you know what I had found that I was pretty talented myself. I had
started taking classes for beginners, and wanted to see if I could fair
pretty good against their beginners. And what I had found out was that
most of the students were either below my knowledge or at the same spot
as myself. Which actually made me feel pretty good about myself. And so
from that point on in the field of playing musical instruments that I
had talent. So after a while of taking musical lessons, I wanted to do
more like play in a band. But my mother had talked me out of doing that
for that I was getting too old for it. So I had quiet doing that, but
then I was working at a warehouse like 5 years later from the time that I
had went to Peabody Institute. I wanted to get back in the music field
again, so after speaking to a fellow co-worker for a few months at work.
I had gotten the idea of writing, and mixing my own music. So what I
had done I done some research online and figured out how to accomplish.
So I downloaded my first
DAW (Digital Audio workstation) which actually happen to be
Magix
music maker. And from there thats when I had started making, and mixing
my own music. So for anyone that is interested in the song that I had
created it is called:
MAKIN THE CONNECTION
And here is the direct link to where you can find the song and other music in my portfolio:
Dj Duece Music Portfolio
So
after this song was writing and everything thing I had put it up on the
internet. And from that point on it was a hit to me and my friends and
family they loved it. So after making a few more songs the challenged at
this point was to play it for members of any A & R Group or
management in the
music industry.
And was once I got the feedback and realized that they liked it too,
then I knew from there that everything was good in my mind and I was
siked to going in this field. And have been doing ever since. And from
now on all I've been trying to do is to get better.
