As a young child, nothing was more important to me than dancing. By the time I was nine, it was writing. I equally put my energies into both. At 13, it was singing. Dancing somewhat fell by the wayside and I focused more on writing. I figured if Madonna could come out of dancing and become a good writer and a decent singer, I could too. But even that wasn't enough.
Over the past few years I've focused well on improving my voice. Making it impressive, not only to me but to others. A big part of that was practice. Performing at various karaoke spots and recording myself endlessly to get a sound I was comfortable with. My writing has also greatly improved. I can easily say, with overbearing confidence, that it's time I become a part of music. A maker.
Most recently I've taken up the keyboard, although I've used it mostly to create the music on this site. I don't at all consider myself a pianist of any sort. My goals aren't to be a full-on musician. They're to be an entertainer who dances, sings, and happens to write his own music and lyrics.
I think the biggest revelation that I can attest to for myself is that I'm more prepared to do what it is I've wanted to do for such a long time. Music has always been there for me and now I want to be a part of it.
I've spent years talking about a demo. I finally have one. It's amazing how I could let so much time pass and not have done more to fulfill my dreams. That's changed. It's time.
I have an immense amount of goals. I've had so much time to plan my future, but it truly starts here. Every step I take leads to something more, something unforeseen, no matter how much I plot.
