Hey everyone as you can tell its Music Monday and I plan to do this every week so get used to it.
I start off this blog with Macklemore's "I Said Hey" off of his album "Language of my World." The song talks about Macklemore's inspirations and origins of his love of Hip-Hop music. This song speaks to me because I feel the same way about Hip-Hop. It creates a feeling inside me like no other music and I can use it to create my own viewpoint on life. I in this blog I plan to touch on why I love Hip-Hop and how it is a major part of my life.
Since introduced to the world of true Hip-Hop by a friend, I have created a playlist to suit any mood I am in. Music can change my mood very easily. I can always find the perfect song to play to fit the mood that I'm in. I also listen to music to look for inspiration for when I create my own music.

Since I got my MIDI keyboard this past Christmas I have been trying to get back into making music. I have been using Pro Tools Se to create loops that I can stick together to eventually make a whole beat. I like this process because it lets me record live sound using my keyboard and software instrument tracks. I try to create as much of my music as possible to really make it my own and set it apart from people who only use samples. I am not saying that sampling is bad by any means but I prefer to do it my own way. Hopefully I will have something to post of my own soon.
