Meet..

I've met a couple of artists in the past couple of years. All people I truly admire. I loved those moments. But the older I get and the more involved I get with wanting to expand my music, I've been feeling like I should take a step back.

As much as I would love to meet more people I admire along the line, I'm going to try and be more careful about it. When I say that, I mean that I can't let myself fall into a sort of "fan" category where I'm just a starstruck fan.

It's perfectly fine being starstruck. It's perfectly fine being a big fan and admirer. Hell, I make it pretty public when I love an artists work or them as a person. It's passion, and passion is great! But like I said, I'm in the process of trying to push my artistic resume further. I've stood in enough lines to meet people, but now that time is coming to a close.

I would love more than anything to encounter people I admire in the future. It would be even more gratifying as we may have real conversations rather than quick autographs or pictures. I'm never going to stop buying albums as I see fit or going to concerts. I just want to give my dream a bit more credit. If I had it my way, people would be lining up to meet me, which would obviously be incredible. Nowhere in that way of mine do I see myself in a line like that.

Nothing against it at all, and I encourage it more than anything because it's awesome to meet such successful and interesting people. I'll never stop being a fan to those whose work and/or person I love. But this is the time where I become less of a fan (one who waits in line for an autograph and a quick 5 second conversation) and more of a person who embraces their fans.

Movement..

So I essentially began making music around 2004-2005, messing around with remixes and such. Obviously my main focus was to make hip hop music. The next year, I was more into integrating feeling and stronger lyrics. Regardless, I was still in this bubble. I got better with time and kept making more songs. The thing is that I've always been into "epic" type songs, such as listening to a song and automatically having the reaction of thinking the song sounds "epic" in some form. I always saw that feeling as more so having to do with the production, in my case. At about 2009 and even earlier, I began trying to experiment with production, especially when I had the chance to be accepted in a music school. I never really found any type of success with it because I would always find myself adding too much into a song as to make it whole sin vocals. Working with synths and whatnot, I kind of gave up on that dream because I felt I was straying away from what I was currently doing. Now that I've picked it up again and found both some type of instruction and a motivation for it, I feel like I can take it full force.

My point here is that I've always been fascinated with the underlying aspects of a song (i.e. the production/technicalities) for who knows how long. So this isn't really anything new to me, other than me making it a bit more public. PTP definitely helped me feel more comfortable with growing as an artist rather than remaining in some category. It's always been difficult to compare me to another artist, but now it's more evident that I stick out, whether it's good or bad. I feel great with where I am now! I've never found myself in a position where I had to force myself upon something, musically, so why not open myself more to the shit that I love?? Electronic music is awesome and always has been. I'm not jumping on some sort of trend or anything as I've always been into this kind of thing. I've just learned a lot more stuff. Now I can do 2 different things instead of 1. (The numbers aren't accurate; I'm just trying to say that having the ability to do more than before is always a positive)
