All my life has in some shape or form revolved around music. As far back as I can remember I was raised around an environment that encouraged creative and musical input as well as output. My family emphasized the act of putting your feelings into something that you cared heavily for and using music or some other creative facet to express yourself. The result of such an upbringing has caused me to think on life with a brain that is quite different than others. It is not a better outlook but not the same as others to say the least. After a childhood of music lessons from multiple instruments and a vast library of different artists and genres I believe that I have developed a better understanding of the music that surrounds our world, and the impact this culture has on each and every person that inhabits this earth.
After I graduated high school I decided that this was as good a time as ever to enter the business world. I knew that I would want to enter the business aspect of the entertainment world but in what genre? I decided to go with what I know best and the Music industry was calling my name. I got my first job at a recording studio not too far from where I lived. I have heard that the best way to start off in this business is to start from the bottom, as the information that you learn from the bottom up is immeasurable, I realized soon after what starting at the bottom meant. I had to wake up at 8 every morning and get to the studio to clean the sound boards, swabbing each and every knob with a Q-Tip. The hours were long and the work was very tedious, but what better way to learn your way around a soundboard than to clean each and every fader and knob every morning? I kept at this job for years eventually working my way up to assistant engineer, learning how this world works from behind the scenes as I went along.
I pride myself in being a vey hard worker, especially in fields that I love and treasure greatly. It is my belief that if you work at a job that you love, then you really have reached the big time. I am a diligent worker and I do not rest until a task that is asked is completed, and the best way to do this is with a team. I work very well with others and am looking forward to interacting with my co-workers to develop new ideas and find new ways to search for and advertise. I believe that the music world is ever changing and that the format and way people listen and get their music is entering the digital world and that in a few years, the music business will not be anywhere near how it used to be. That is where Myspace Records enters the game. Myspace has been the premiere social networking site for years and continues to grow more and more popular, especially with musicians. Myspace has discovered a brand new way to discovering new music and talent altogether. Now aspiring artists do not have to go to great lengths to get in contact with executives and scouts from record labels. Because of Myspace and the creation of Myspace Records, it is now possible for more musicians to get their voices heard. This is a future for music that I wish to be a part of.
