I know its been a while, since I’ve put up anything on my website, so I’m trying to fix that. I’ve been focusing on my new album right now, “The Love I’ve Seen” . It’s a contemporary R&B album. It has so many different genera’s of music I had to at least pick one.

For a long time in my career being a independent music producer . A great chunk of what I used to make music with was software based. I was a kid that didn’t have money for MPC’s and expensive hardware, though I was a big fan of them I just didn’t have access to them so I just did my thing with the software I had.

The beginning was always hardware based, back in the 90’s, most music was made using hardware, but now in 2010, almost 14 years after my “official’ start in music production. Things are about to come full circle for me with Maschine.

I’ve messed with MPC’s enough to know few reason why I loved and disliked em. Again I lived a live doing great music with out it, but working with it, the pads and the ease to crank a rythmn together was a great feeling and great experience.

The thing about the MPC I didn’t like was  that I could load and find samples as quickly as my PC, as well as having to sit back and track everything in. With FL studio, I just knocked that step out with a few clicks.

What I am hoping is that Maschine will  provide the feel that the MPC prodives, and the speed and power of my  computer.

Looking ahead, and the maschine is not the only thing I’m getting into.

This past Wednesday, I went to compete and battle for the first time at a local beat battle event. This was called the ATL beat battle.
I’m confident that my music production was world class, but the judges were in the mood for something a little more different then what I had to offer. Never the less I don’t take it personal, and I’m glad that I had the opportunity to expose my talents.

On this post I will feature all of the different videos which contains, pretty decent tips about the industry.
I’m not sure if I will compete for a while, till I have came up with something a little more southern influenced that will better suit the pallet of the judges.

The good thing is, when you make your own albums independently, no one can reject you, or stop you from getting your own placement on it.

Enjoy the films!

Did my thing at the show.  Queen was crazy at that joint, but a good host none the less.

After the performance I was approached by two different artists who were intrested in my singing hooks, which is cool I don’t mind doin that. Could be fun.

May do it again this Friday, but I’m not sure, I might be tapped out after this beat battle thats coming up. I’m gonna go through my whole library to find what I think is the best.

It’s alot goin on, and its fun. I pray God will keep me and bring me to a higher place through all of this.

I’m pushing out to perform at this event, and also to learn to see what people like. How people respond. This will be cool.
