Names Rob Blue, . Started making music as a hobby in high school with my yamaha psr and MTV music generator, and been addicted since (of course now I moved up some equipment but that MTV was still hot back then, Lol). I have an eclectic taste in music from old school Motown,classic rock,80's electro, jazz and on up to todays hip hop and electronic acts.
If it has melodies and rhythm with heart and soul put in it, then Im all about it! Peace!

Why this name?

Do you play live?

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well now we have access to just about any conceivable song made which is good for the listener. But being bombarded with so many options, in a way I think, diminishes the value of a song. In the "old" days I think albums and records were cherished like something you "own". Now you can still have favorites, but I think its a different expierence....I dont mind though, record label monopoly was (and apparently still) bad for music as well...I hope music continues to be sold on internet, but everyone needs to lay up on the restrictions. I.E. DRM or apples strangle hold on what I have to use to listen to music....Can't we all be friends? :P
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
With the right options sure... Give me creative freedom, a fair share of the profits, and the right marketing package and Im in.... Record companies should adopt googles slogan, "Don't be Evil" !
