I’m a keyboard maestro from the vibrant city of Fayetteville, NC. Since I was a young student in elementary school, my heart belonged to the musical keyboard. I remember very vividly borrowing my neighbor’s Yamaha PSR-120 and falling head over heels for its enchanting melodies.
But here’s where things got interesting – my neighbor refused to take it back after several attempts to return it! And so, with his blessing (and perhaps a touch of frustration), I found myself banished to the garage.
Now picture this: winter chills and summer swelter, but nothing could dampen my spirit. Determined to pursue my passion, I braved those extreme temperatures to practice day in and day out. The noise may have driven my family crazy, but their weariness couldn’t extinguish the fire within me.
And then came the game-changer – headphones! Ahh, what a revelation that was. Suddenly, no longer confined by weather or family tolerance levels, I could bring my keyboard back into the cozy warmth of our home.
While growing up, I would also create music through Mario Paint on my Super Nintendo. Making music on Mario Paint is fundamentally an ancient version of Fruity Loops Studios.
Fast forward to my college days in the early 2000s, when my parents bought me a Casio Wk-1630 for my birthday. My younger sister was in her high school band. She urged me to add a more basic structure to my tracks and showed me the importance of an intro, body, climax, cooldown, and an ending to my tracks.
Later, I became interested in FL Studios and Garage Band before eventually going blind five years ago. Due to my blindness, I took up training in Logic Pro 10 and have only been creating on this platform now. I plan to take extensive piano lessons because I believe it will enhance my natural talent.
Currently, I have no transactions in the professional music industry, but my goal is to one day have some. I specialize in mainly mixed genre instrumentals and would like to deliver them to whatever area has a demand. I am open to movies, commercials, content creators, poets, singers, writers, hip-hop artists, storytelling, etc.
