I have stumbled across many inspirations in my life, but I've never been so inspired to rap like I am now.
At about my age, my inspiration showed me rapping should be comfortable. You should show your true colors through your own skin and forgetting about all regrets is the key to success.
I made my first beat when I was on vacation with my family. We were skiing up in the hills of Michigan and they helped me pull it together. Ever since then, I've been on a non-stop roll of producing beats and music for anyone to come and check them out.
After publishing my first song, I've received a lot of criticism – both good and bad. I couldn't understand the negativity I received, as I worked hard to produce something I'm proud of, but at the end of the day, I should accept my accomplishments as hard work – no one should tell me to stop.
With that being said, most of the criticism I received was positive. Everyone was impressed that I could create such a thing, and it just makes me proud that I was able to accomplish it.
I've gone on to produce so much more music. I've recently downloaded Logic Pro X for my MacBook and I've been having fun with it ever since. I used to mess around with GarageBand on my iPhone – it was the only thing I used for creating music, even for my ukulele songs — but after downloading Logic I've opened my eyes up to a whole new world of music.
I'll be honest and say I look up YouTube videos to help me create the music I want to create. It's not easy trying to figure out Logic by yourself, but I've gone a pretty long way of figuring it out myself – including the videos I find on the Internet.
I'm very excited to produce my next Logic beat. I pulled up a YouTube video teaching me how to create a sub-bass for a track and I learned how to do it — so expect my next song to have a pumping bass.
I hope to feature my friends in my future works. I'm really excited about my next beat.
