Keith, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?
Learning the Craft of Music wasn’t much Challenging. Growing up in my household music was always amongst me. And At the age of 8 years old I was able to attend a Buster Rhymes Concert at The House of Blues, Backstage thanks to my mothers ex boyfriend who was also an artist that designed one of his latest album covers. Experiencing that show was the start of something! That was the day that I found my Love for Music! And from then growing up, Writing was always a big passion for me! So much that my teachers would always tell me back in elementary school that I was going to become something successful in the future from it. By the age of 16 was when I began to surround myself in the music environment. By attending friends studio sessions, where I was able to learn the recording process. By 2016 I released my first single “Shawty A Gift” on YouTube. When releasing my first Single, I didn’t know anything much about the marketing side of the Business. And at that age I didn’t have nobody to show me the correct steps to approaching the situation. I just thought that I could possibly get the entire world to gravitate towards my music by being unique. But that was where I began to learn. That nothing comes easy in this industry! Knowing what I know now I believe I could have cut unnecessary expenses, and invested more into marketing, and promoting myself because at that time, they’re was a wide window of opportunity open for artist like myself. I believe the most important skills to have for this situation has to be Dedication, Discipline, and Business skills. Those 3 skills will help you best along any journey similar.
