I aspire to become very critical behind the scenes in my career within the music industry. My career path is not clear, nor direct but I do intend on having, and encourage, the obstacles that will try to hinder my success or progress. Emotionally, I am drawn to music. Spiritually, it does something within me that is mood altering. It is very successful in doing something that, other than the Bible, I have found no other tangible thing to do: take me to a place where I feel content. I want to take others to that same place in the near future.
My professional interests are to become a world-renown music producer, publisher, and songwriter. The following musicians are some that I think of who are known internationally for their craft: Akon, Beyoncé, Adele, Lady Gaga, and Lil Wayne. Each has depicted who they are as an artist and has travelled across the globe to tell their story. Akon, whose story originates from Senegal, has an amazing story to tell. According to the MTVmusic.com biography, he discovered hip hop at the age of seven when he moved to New Jersey from West Africa. His imprisonment sparked creativity on his part that allowed his album release to be very successful. I know when I saw and heard Young Jeezy's "Soul Survivor", I was intrigued by this voice. That smooth voice I heard, I started hearing on more hip hop tracks. That was when I discovered Akon, who is actually makes "world-music". His songs carry a sense of hope, encouragement, and light. He has helped to mold my passion and professional interests.
Beyoncé is known for powerful vocals, amazing dance ability, and being a solid stage entertainer. She has been an inspiration for me for years because of how effortless she appears during any performance. She has motivated me to shoot for greatness and work extremely hard for success, because it's not guaranteed. In her "The Year of 4" documentary, she highlights elements such as the ups and downs, the moments of energy and the moments of extreme fatigue, the traveling every night in a new city, and the putting a smile on because she acknowledges the fans have made her successful. She truly is a global inspiration for fans and also those seeking to get in the music industry. Please check out her mini-documentary and view a glimpse of her amazing craft.
It is my desire to be as, or more successful, than these artists. Technically, there is a niche for all of us, we just have to aspire and put thoughts/dreams into action. I want to be an artist, but also work with other artists. I want to work on the foundation and support, i.e. providing the musical production and reference vocals for top songs on the Billboards, and most importantly I want to break into the television and film industry and submit music to these projects. My passion in the television industry is to truly make the scene come alive! I am very excited to see my career evolve and my passion blossom.
