...is what my cousin warned me about people in life. And it's sort of true...
As of the previous date of April 19, I am now presently 15 years old. I feel no different haha, just more responsibilities given and more pressure to achieve my goals now before I am 21 or something. Speaking of accomplishing goals I have been thinking a lot about money lately. Like my mom says I can advertise to be an assistant for one of the other brokers (she's a real estate) at her job which is really cool cause I get mad money. Last time I went it was like 2 months ago and worked for like 3 hours and made $50 which is a lot for 3 hours and helping one broker... I mean some people only make $10 an hour having part-time jobs but like they have to spend what they make on bills so that got me thinking. If I start working as an assistant every weekend and work for two brokers... that's $100 a weekend. Plus, I'm starting to build a recording studio in my room (I have a piano, a computer, and a D-20 Roland right now), so that can help me complete that for all the mics and acoustic padding I need. Also I need new clothes which the money will definitely help... and keep some on the side for food, or look side money for a future date or whatever happens (who knows what can happen!?). I was also thinking I should starting saving for a car... in like 10th grade though after I get new clothes and mandatory stuff.
My life musically has been going great. I finished writing my first album and going to name it "The Grand Exit" (I'll probably say why it's the grand exit in another post one day), and now were just working on Jake's (JR/I-CON) album, "The Man Behind The Mask" due to be released late this summer if we get the time in the studio with Dr. Kim (our producer/engineer, basically our version of Drake's 40). What's the great thing about my album though is I have great support from all my fellow artists and am really excited about this song called "Who, What, Where, When, Why?" with Harlem Bugz, Suave Bucks, JR, and Julio-G all on one song... with me. Shows mad love, shout out to all them by the way. Lastly what's really great is we got a couple of label A&R's asking me to send me our albums and demos to them once where done which is sick, and were going to get AIRPLAY (radio) in Long Island and word of mouth is one hell of a machine so that might send us far and in a easy path to fame. Mad excited.
Socially, I feel satisfied although I do want to meet someone that I should of met in the beginning of the year but I won't say names cause I do know some that read this blog with bad intents (ask me in person and I might tell you). Like, My relationship with Shantell has been rocky since we stopped talking since the beginning of the year but it's getting better now so I happy about that. In this school though everyday I'm making a new friend so I can't say I'm a loner anymore like in the beginning of the year. Though in the beginning of the year, my head was in a darker, more stand in the shadows and let others handle the situation type of place. Now, I feel freer due to the music coming into my life, and pulling my thoughts onto music instead of my social life and shadowing out.
Though I do want to give a shout out to someone. Michele thanks for being such a good acquaintance/friend to me. You and Alisa have held me down this year. Muchas gracias.
I think that's it. I've never typed so much in a post before, guess there's a first for everything though.
For more information on the album and their progress check up on the east coast action website.
