How I Started Making Music
For as long as I can remember music has always been a part of my life. In latin culture you basically grow up listening to music as it is an intricate part of everyday life. From birthdays to christenings, holidays and everything else in between, there’s always a reason to play good music, dance and enjoy the celebrations. Growing up I never really thought about creating music let alone singing my own tunes, but I did enjoy listening and dancing to my favorite songs with the rest of the family.
I’ve always enjoyed the Holidays but growing up it was the best time of the year because it brought the whole family together to celebrate the festivities. We would cook, eat, play, talk and dance all to the beat of some latin song always playing in the background. Music, therefore, has always been a part of me. Growing up I never really thought about creating music or producing music as I was fully concentrated and devoted to playing basketball.
In 2008 however, I came across a Youtube Video showcasing a young music producer creating a beat from scratch. I was completely mesmerized by how he was able to do what he did and immediately after watching the video I was hooked and began experimenting with music production. Since then I’ve devoted myself to developing my skills as a music producer while at the same time developing myself as a music artist.
For me, It took a simple video to ignite the fire and passion I feel towards music production and becoming an artist. What are you passionate about and how did you get started? Leave me a comment, I’m interested to know how your journey began.
