The First Day of The Rest of My Life

Today is the first day of what will now be known as the rest of my life.

It took forever getting here...I can safely say that at my age now, I have stories.

Fuckin' funny stories about life and music that I will never run out of...

I regret things that i could have done better in my career and choices and opportunities i now know i fucked up on.

Please mind my language. I'm hardly a vuigar person and it's purely for dramatic purposes. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a rock star. But I didn't know where to start. So I started with learning how to make a song. I realize easy it was. So I kept at it. I had a big break when i was 21 and back from the US in Singapore.

I put a band together had a record deal with a major label and looked like i was going to be set.

It was fun. Those years- the free shit, the money, the fame, the whatevers. I got caught up.

I lost focus of what I wanted. I fear the fact that if  you aren't careful wanting something, you might actually get it.

I won't go into details but I was so ambitious and not focused that I think I could have made something big of myself a lot earlier. I mean I have to believe I'm pretty good at what I do. If I don't, which one of you will?

But all of that is now in the past. From here on...it's nothing but absolutely terrytyelee from now on.

This is what I do for a living:

1. I'm a taste maker. I have a good buddy who is a mood maker. But in my work, I make it taste good. See I got these kicks and snares, these words that fly out of no where...and they come together very quickly.

2. I'm a tailor.  As a producer, I personally like taking a very personal touch to each individual I work with. I am not criticizing the very regimental way the Mandarin music industry is structured, it works...but what I do works too. I see my job more like a tailor. Half a century ago, I would have Yves Saint Laurent or whoever...I'm a high end boutique music tailor.

Half the time, I make the singers write the songs themselves or with me. IT IS ONLY A SUCCESSFUL SONG WHEN THE ARTIST GROWS WITH ME IN OUR MUSIC JOURNEY.

1. I'm the one. I am him. You know the one? That person. I am him.

So from here on, I'm here. I'm sorry I didn't know you guys and I'm sorry you didn't meet me yet...but we're here.

I am going to show you some shit you ain't heard before...

Keep listening...

and by the way...

July 11th is ALL ABOUT BRENDA DAY.....

I'll tell you why later...
