Artist Statement.

Bio

Music has been like a shadow to me. I was introduced, through piano lessons as a child. I bounced around from instrument to instrument in my elementary school band, which included the violin, trumpet, clarinet. flute, drums, and possibly more (unfortunately, I don't remember how to play any of them at the moment). I wanted to be a rapper in junior high school and wrote lyrics in several composition books. I then taught myself the guitar in high school and sang in a band that I made with my friends. I attended Boston University for a bit, where my friend installed a music production software for me, which finally stuck. I had to withdraw due to personal reasons and ended up at Touro College, where I graduated from a music production/engineering program with a certificate. I thought that an effective way to display my music was through DJ'ing, so I bought turntables and taught myself. I have played at Webster Hall, Pacha (when it was open), B.B. Kings, and more. I had the opportunity to play at an EDM festival called Electric Adventure at Atlantic City, New Jersey, this past summer (this was cancelled due complaints from residents). Here is the link to the old material:

I don't think it was one specific song or lyric that really left an impression on me. I feel as if my experiences through a variety of genres, have aided me to become more versatile and adaptable. I think I have finally figured out the direction in which I want to go and am working on a completely new brand for myself. I am currently influenced by an eclectic of chill, jazzy, hiphop, electronic, soul, and trap vibes. 

Of course, my newly purchased computer crashed without a backup, and I lost all the new material. This is the only edit that I have saved from this terrible ordeal:  . 

Aim

Although music is my main squeeze, I have always been interested in movies and documentaries that encourage people to think. I took a class in audio work for film, using Protools. I am majoring in Media with a concentration of Emerging Media. I hope that my studies at Hunter will open more doors for me and more importantly, land a job with the BA, which will support my musical aspirations. I am passionate about common decency and good for humankind. I hope that my work will influence people to ditch negativity and spread good vibes. 

I would like to work on music or sound for videos such as this:
