Decisions, money invested, time, and talent were all factors which ultimately allowed me to start my own small business.Īll of these aspects in my life, allow me to appreciate music to it's "full potential". RNR Entertainment was created and I soon found myself as somewhat of an entrepreneur. With countless hours of practice and dedication, it turned into something more than but never excluding a love and a passion. After saving up to buy my first pair of turntables and cd players, I feel in love instantly. The thought of me being a DJ seemed so far, yet so close, but more importantly, it appealed to me and I did something about it. The thought of manipulating, mixing, and scratching music exhilarated me. But in my case, it was inspiring and challenging me to do different things. Technology was the reason for change, good and bad. The internet was a daily aspect in my life. By this time, a few social networking websites were already capturing the minds of teens. Many things were happening for me at this time, musically and not.

I considered the age of 16 to be a turning point in my life. I do consider it as an enjoyable, social, and an experimental type of instrument. I know it's not the best way to learn but I do not consider the guitar the main focus of my music life. I learned the guitar through online tablature and experimenting by ear. To this day I can honestly say, now with the exception of the G chord, I have no knowledge of what names of chords are. I do have one regret that I have with the guitar. But my background in piano made learning the guitar a more pleasant, enjoyable experience. I picked up a guitar at the age of 13 not knowing what a G chord was. The guitar was the next instrument on my list. With all of these performances on my musical resume, it was safe to say that my mentality I had towards the piano changed drastically.Īfter all my successes towards the piano, I wanted to expand my musical horizons. The honor that I had to play at such enormously recognized venue's, was much more to me than a once in a lifetime experience, especially considering the fact that it was all done before I have even reached high school. The two most memorable recitals were at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York. It was not until two specific performances, which I realized that piano can actually take me somewhere.

Many of these performances were at small local churches and others were at bigger locations. I continued to play for a number of years, while participating in recitals as well. But little did I know, that the instrument that I once dreaded, would be the start and foundation of what made me who I am today in terms of musicality.

I did not enjoy practicing when my parents told me to because it simply did not interest me. With very little knowledge of any type of music at this point in my life, I felt as if I was almost being forced to play. Classical piano lessons soon became a weekly routine. At the age of 7, the first instrument introduced in my life was the piano.

In my case, music was introduced to me at a very young age. As previously stated, I do believe that music is a great way to express a person.
