I have been singin since i was around 7 or 8, but i started singing seriously around the age of 14. I sang in my school choir for 4 years, recorded a few songs in the studio. Now im a music business major and hope to one day own my own record label and help up and coming artist and have control over my own music and career.
I have alwayz loved R&B and soul music since i could remember,so most of my vocal influences come from that type of music. Right now i am working on my first demo and continuing to expand my musical horizons and keep pushing forward.
Some of my influences as far as singing and artist i admire are Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Etta James, SWV, Gladys Knight, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Babyface, Usher, Olivia, Nivea, and Ciara. Producers: Scott Storch, Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, Lil Jon, Swizz beatz, and the list could go on.
Equipment i use:
Zoom 8-trk digital multitrack recorder, Acid 3.0 pro, fruity loops, Cakewalk kinetic, Cubase SX3, Sonar Producer Edition, Wavelab 5
