Bright Lights, Good Nights

A story like mines starts off in an 8th grade math class in the Bronx. A common subject we are taught throughout the years of our academic lives. But as most people know, life teaches us the most important lessons. Every day I would sit and glance over at my best friend write in his notebook, something which is obviously a must, except the day that I asked him about his focus I noticed he wasn't writing equations. He was writing rhymes.

That is the day I feel in love with music. Although at the time I didn't know it, I always had my ear in some type of genre. My earliest memories of Hip-Hop and R&B were cassette tapes of Ma$e, The Notorious B.I.G. and Brandy and Monica's single "The Boy is Mine". CD wise, Ja Rule's Pain is Love album was the first album I memorized, front to back. Even had some N'sync, Michael Jackson, and Jay-Z up in the mix with their albums No Strings Attached, Invincible, and Hov's MTV Unplugged. I also always had Big Pun around me as well but It wasn't until later that my attention to these and other artist like Eminem and Kanye expanded.

As I grew up, from a 14 year old making music with a microphone tapped to his mirror's edge, using pantyhose as a pop filter; to being 18, having already built my own home studio in the comfort of my room, rocking performances at Webster Hall, the Bowery Poetry Club, and other venues; I've learned a lot. Still, a desire in me burns to learn more, so I am in constant search for the next new thing. This is a big part of the reason I founded a group/label called Searching for the Truth Music.

Based off my most successful project to date, which garnered the attention of a couple of blog sites, ‘Searching for the Truth’ this label is the foundation in which I base my sound upon. I feel I am not only the artist; I am the sculpture in which I craft as well. Every project is an extension of me, so I do my absolute best to produce the best that I am at the time.

Finishing my latest album, The Blue Light has been a blessing. I was able to create the music that I love so much, and deliver the way I hoped; and this is the standard for everything I do. As I currently work on a ton of ideas to keep my mind fresh, I find myself never stopping in the future. Taking all I can to the top with me.
