I have figured out what my purpose in life is. Besides for loving and experiencing there's a different personal purpose why I am here. My mission is to inspire people and to cause some controversy. How am I going to do that? With music.
You see I love to sing. For the past two years I have been working on my voice and finally achieved the voice I feel will get me places. For me singing is like therapy. There's no better way to express feelings that through song. I love to perform and when I do I am in a different world.
I also write and produce my own songs. I feel that as an aspiring artist it is necessary to have my own voice infused through my songs. I can't ever have other people write songs for me. Unless I really connect with the song. However when my album comes out and I will be an established artist rarely will you see me singing songs other people have written. I feel sad for people like Britney Spears who have nothing to do with their music. I would feel as if I'm being cheated. Britney has so much attention on her but is doing nothing to express something. To me there's no difference between Britney and a latex blow-up doll... but she does dance good.
I think I will try to start a new era where young artists will express their opinions and will have their voices heard. My songs are about life. Just experiences that I've went through, dreams, what I hear on the news. I can even invent a story line in my head an express that in a song. The things that inspire me are: people, daily events, nature, the sun, moon, different energies around me.
I am driven by this need to create. Create music, lyrics, art. I have a need to inspire people and to touch their soul with my music. I want to provoke new ideas and to cause controversy and also bring joy with my music. Not everything is about seriousness and politics and about changing the world. My music is split up like this. Some songs are romantic love songs, others are filled with pain and rage, and yet others are about what is going on in our society right now. I just hope I can grow as an artist and that people will respond positively to my music and message.  "The stage is dimly lit, there's some smoke scattered about, and the atmoshepre feels murky and hot. There's one dimly lit bluish spot light. And then, he comes out. Dressed in a dusty white shirt with the slogan "Meat Sucks" on it and dark blue, lose and worn out, industrial jeans. All topped off with his spiky hair imbued with sparatic streaks of blonde.
The music starts to play and it's his hit ballad. Slow. Techno. Haunting. Raw. He gently holds on to the microphone, you can see how much emotion is within him. And then his voice. With raw emotion and dedication he tells a love story as a single tear gently rolls down his cheek, but yet he still smiles. And it is done. Slowely now, he eyes each and every person in the audience and there's a tense feeling in the air as he breaks into a smile and then you hear it. Those industrial rock guitars, those hard bass lines, the ambient sounds coming from behind him. And he jumps all around the stage raising his energy and adrenalizing the whole crowd. It is like watching a phoenix being reborn again and again."
This is something I just came up with about one of my frist performances on my tour. It is good to dream. But this, to me, is not a dream. it is just a blueprint for an upcoming realization of a dream. A dream becoming reality. How I long to finally be able to go on stage and play for a crowd of a thousand people at small concert halls and being able to sing the songs I wrote and connect with the audience. And yet, I still dream of huge stadium tours feeling my energy and the connection to the audience amplified. To mesmorize the audience and put them in a trance, in a different world. You can see how dedicated I am to my future career.
My style of music is quite different from what we have now. Not many artists like to branch out into new territory and I'd like to do that. I do not want to be limited to one genere. I will not allow myself to be condensed into a box and classifed as so and so. My musical tastes range from all types of music. Which will be shown on my album. Rock music surges through my blood. To hear those hard guitars and the drums playing with a psychopathic endurance drives me wild. I want to use all organic instruments on my album. By organic I mean instruments played by actual people. I want to blend in some electronica into my songs as but not so much to make the song dance like. Acoustics and strings and piano are also my favourites that I'll look to to imbue my songs with a myriad musical ensamble. I'd also like to mix Arabic, Hindu, Native American, and Asian world beats into my music. To broaden my audiences horizons. I want my music to be serious at times and being able to make you weep or get angry as you relate to what I am singing about. I want my music to express the love and longing that we all feel towards that special someone and the hate and disgust we feel towards another. I want my music to be multi-dimensional reach all audiences, of all ages, of all cultures and creeds. That is my truth and my mission. I hope that you, who is reading this now, will support my vision in the future. Blessings. Vande. Peace. |
