I love music. Ever since I was a kid my family would gather around to sing and play and just have a blast. In my early years, I took piano lessons and realized that I had an incredible musical ear and that’s when I took off. At church, I learned how to play the drums and took over once the drummer moved to California. I began to write songs at the age of 12 and almost landed a deal with a local production company to sing a couple songs on a cd for a famous Indie Bachata artist but that fell through. Ever since then, music continued as a hobby to me. I like to meet up with friends, hangout and show them songs which they’ve never heard before, they like to say I should be a dj! I love jazz/big band/swing, hence the first few songs on the playlist. One day i stumbled upon a song on pandora by Louis Armstrong called “West End Blues” and that started my love for the genre. I listen that kind of music often because it makes me feel good. The instruments, the lyrics, everything is just perfect and it seems to display class, which is something that i like to carry myself with. The last two songs on the playlist are hiphop. I LOVE hiphop. I am a person who like to drive really fast and whenever i’m driving, hiphop always hypes me up and makes me drive faster…that’s soooo bad, I know, but hey, I’m a business man, and business men take risks, and you better believe that one of the risks I take is driving fast. I like to rap too! I’m pretty good at freestyling. Whenever there is a hot beat, If i’m feeling it, i’ll kill it. Rap is fun man, it comes from the soul like A Tribe Called Quest, one of the first, original rap groups ever known. They come from Queens, NY., and believe it or not, most Rap artist admit to the fact that they mainly started rapping because of them. Kanye West, Common, Pharell, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, a lot of these big, well known rappers were featured on their documentary “Beats, Rhymes and Life” saying this. But of course, nothing compares to the blues man, Miles Davis, Coltrane, these are the people who originate music, people from the early 20’s, a time of peace a happiness in America, and a time where music actually meant something. I love music, that’s why I chose to do a ten song playlist for this entry. In my opinion, if it weren’t for music, we would not know what creativity is. And I thank those who take the time out to create a pattern of sounds that can actually suit our ears to confort, even if I don’t like the kind of music you listen to, and boy i’m picky. PEACE!
