Major Edition

(Music Producer, Mixing Engineer)

G.L.E.G. LLC.

I studied Computer Science at Ryerson University in Toronto. For the love of Music, I got into DJing, mixing, blending and scratching records to shake the dance floor. I played at several Clubs and Venues in and around Toronto. I still do and my Records or Vinyl collection ranges from Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco, 80's, Rock, Classic House, Hip hop, R&B and Reggae to Hip Life and Hi-Life (West African Music from Ghana).

With my skills, talent, knowledge and experience, it was not only right but also natural for me to be in Music Production. At an early age, I was exposed to many different types of music by my Father who owned a lot of records (vinyl), both local and foreign music. At the age of 6, I was listening to bands such as THE MUSICAL YOUTH. Dancing and singing along to their music such as Pass the dutchie, I'm 16 and 007. I was also inspired by artists such as NEW EDITION and many others. Singing and dancing to music such as Cool it now, Candy girl, Did you get it yet (my secret), Popcorn love and Count me out.

Watching the 1984 movie, Breakin' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086998/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), as a kid was also a big inspiration with Ice-T on the mic, the DJ scratching breakbeats whiles the B-Boys and B-Girls did their thing on the dance floor. The House Party movie with Kid 'N' Play was another one. I also learned a lot from my late Grandfather who was not only a Musician but also a King. As a kid, I grew up playing conga drums and double bass at Church.

My parents, knowing what an intelligent and gifted child they had, bought me a little keyboard. Fortunately, a friend of mine had his house full of Organs and Pianos because his mother was the Choir conductor at the Presbytarian Church. Whenever I was at his house, I would watch them play the piano. I would mimic and learn the songs and chords they played. I got very good at it and proceeded to play other songs without any professional or formal training.

As time went on I developed a lot of interest in Music Production. With the experience I gained from DJing, I proceeded to study Music Composition, Arranging and Engineering. Being in the digital age, I combined everything I know and I'm made of into Producing good music, my way and the way I know best.

My production skills ranges from Hip hop, R&B and Pop music to Audio Engineering and Mixing. I compose, arrange and make music without sampling. I sample only when it is a necessity to do so. My weapons of choice for making music consist of Keyboards, Sequencers and Multitrack Recorders, Samplers, Turntables and anything that makes a distinct sound that I can get my hands on allowing me to be more creative.

Also, tons of inspiration and new fresh ideas which have not been tapped into yet. There is nothing new under the Sun but there are many creative things which have not been done yet. Things are advancing quickly with the increase in knowledge and technology.

I would like to meet Entertainment Lawyers, Managers, Artists, Music Publishers and A&Rs from both the Major and Independent Labels. This is more than Music. It is Business. And one key quality that I believe to possess allowing me to be successful at what I do is Business Savvy.
