Tony (The Creator) Starks
I started in the band when I was about 8 playing the trumpet..it was kind of boring after about 6 years so I quit..and for a while..it felt like something was missing...until my mother bought me my first Casio keyboard..($30 dollars from my cousins' brother, thanks Charles)..anyway for a long time..I made what I thought were some club bangers but know looking back I would probably call them "club-house bangers"...lol...so fast foward..I played on that keyboard for about 2 years..until I realized that if I saved up enough money..I could get some equipment and reach my full potential. So I worked..and worked...like one time I had like 22 hours overtime..when I was getting my MPC..I even worked some 10 to 7 overnight shifts just to be recognized..so when I finally got enough money I bought me a MPC and a Korg Triton Le...and around the same time was when I started college...so I was working..going to school and working on music..until 3 weeks into the semester I said man I just dont want to do this right now..(kids stay in school..:)..) So besides the fact I still owe student loans, I really think I'm well off, I have my own apartment (with my lady friend), my own car and my own studio...I mos def plan on going back to college..but for right now..I'm learning lessons no book or professer can teach...life lessons.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
When I was in the band, not now tho, I mos def plan to do that real soon.
