On The Road to Success

So far so good with my project except for getting my beats uploaded to this page. What I will do is upload one of my songs to youtube and hopefully embed it into my E-portfolio. I say hopefully because I've made a soundtrack for a short video of our Burrs basketball team and I had no success with embedding it, but I did link it to my portfolio. With that being said, if your reading this now check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVoh-YAXsAs

On the other hand, I've been working on songs that will be on my final product, but haven't yet completed one. Although, I have been making songs for myself that I just do for fun which serves as practice and a sort of training for the real showdown: the CD. I've been experimenting with new styles of writing and working on collaborations with singers such as, Shomari and Chassidy so stay tuned in.

Beats 101

Over the break I was dying to make beats, but had no access to garage band so that I could translate my funky ideas into the form of something you could bob your head to. Ever since I've gotten back to school, I've been taking advantage of my resources of the proximity of the macs on campus and have made two final beats that will be put on my CD. That's impressive on my part considering that making a beat takes a lot of time and patience, and I had to balance my academic work with my own personal work. I have been trying to upload my beats onto my blog so that I can get feedback from my followers, but it seems that I must convert the format into an mp3 in order for me to embed it on my page. By next week I should have at least one beat up so you can hear the young talent that awaits you and hopefully help me get better with some constructive feedback. This has been my progress over the past two weeks since we've gotten back from the Christmas break.
