About Me |
|
| I was born and raised in East Nashville, TN - not the most favorable circumstances growing up but at least it gave me character and perspective. I went to Nashville School of the Arts for high school and found my passion: music. At NSA, I learned how to play music in different kinds of groups. Now I'm trying to wrap up this music business degree at MTSU. My primary instrument is the Drum Set, but I am a songwriter too, so I play keys or guitar when I write. I'm the bandleader for a Funk/Soul group called SpeakEasy. Let's see... what else? I care about the world around me; injustice bothers me, and I'll always be loud about what I believe.... uhm?? I appreciate the little things in life. There's more, but this is MySpace not MyBiography. | |
My Interests |
|
| music, history, the TRUTH about things (sometimes not all that convenient), social concerns, | |
I'd like to meet:...more people who inspire me..... and the person who's gonna make me rich. |
|
Music:There are two types of music: good and bad. I just call it like I see it. My love is R&B (not the s%*# they try to pass off as R&B on radio and TV though), but I basically like all things soulful or funky. And, yes, they are different; music can be funky but not soulful, soulful but not funky, funky AND soulful, or - God forbid - neither funky nor soulful, a tragedy indeed. |
|
Movies:Dumb and Dumber, Forest Gump, Count of Monte Cristo, Ray, Napolean Dynamite, war movies, stuff like that. |
|
Television:History Channel, Discovery, MXC, YouTube allows me to bypass MTV, VH1, and BET. The country stations are holdin' it down with the videos though. I don't watch news anymore; I can get that that online. |
|
Books:Catcher in the Rye, Outsiders, The Good Earth, Puddin' Head Wilson, Oedipus the King, Crime and Punishment, MacBeth, Life is a Contact Sport. |
|
Heroes:Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Earl Palmer (he gave us the backbeat), ?uestlove, high school music teacher Mr. Richard Griffin (he's the man), my mother. |
