Creation

          I have been really feeling a pull to actually create and make music of my own lately. In the profession I am in, I don't get to really have much of a finger print on the music Im playing. Of course I manage and produce the BASS part, but its different when you write a song and you feel it come out through words and melody. The problem is that I don't have much experience in this field. Its just not something I have put tons of time into. I have friends that write songs during commercial breaks while watching TV. It just seems to flow effortlessly out of them. As a producer and session player, the musical ideas never stop. Its part of my job to stay "fresh" with music, style, and genre. But the problem comes when its time to write lyrics. Its a learning process to take a feeling, emotion, or experience and put it in melody and worded in a way that people can attach their own lives to it.
         So my education will continue this next year as I embark on writing my first record. I have to say this, and write it so everyone can see so I will be held accountable. By this time next year I will have a record under my belt. Even if it never leaves my studio, I need to do this. The feeling of creating and hearing something that is completely me is too great to just keep ignoring. So look for and ask me about "my project." I am really excited to get it out there. Thanks.
