1. Have
you
ever
no+ced
that
everyone
enjoys
music?
All
of
us
have
cultural
and
societal
roots
in
music.
1

2. A
lot
of
people
are
casual
listeners
of
music
that
enjoy
it
from
+me
to
+me
or
as
background
music.
2

3. Others
have
extreme
love
for
music
such
as
myself
that
have
put
their
en+re
life
and
work
into
music.
3

4. We
all
enjoy
and
appreciate
music
in
some
fashion.
It’s
one
of
the
only
things
that
all
human
beings
can
relate
to
regardless
of
ethic
background
or
social
up
bringing.
4

5. I
chose
Live.
Breathe.
Produce.
As
my
mantra
because
I
believe
that
I
live
and
breathe
produc+on
art
and
music.
5

6. I’ve
owned
my
own
studio
gear
for
well
into
8
years
now.
I’ve
self
produced
4
albums
and
3
singles
of
my
own
material
last
year.
Engineering
slowly
became
very
much
apart
of
my
musical
interest.
It
sparked
a
fire
in
me
that
finally
made
me
believe
that
this
is
what
I
want
to
do
with
my
life.
I
feel
like
I
was
born
to
do
this.
6

7. I
started
learning
to
play
music
through
a
friend
of
my
fathers
who
he
paid
to
teach
me
the
guitar
when
I
was
only
10
years
old.
I’ve
played
in
bands
and
have
been
involved
in
my
local
music
scene
since
I
was
14
years
old.
Music
has
become
apart
of
my
iden+ty
and
apart
of
my
soul
over
the
past
14
years
that
I’ve
played
music.
7

8. I
got
my
first
guitar
when
I
was
7
but
started
learning
to
play
at
10.
My
uncles
who
also
played
in
bands
were
a
huge
influence
on
me.
They
actually
helped
pitch
in
on
my
gear
and
everything.
8

9. I
began
learning
other
instruments
through
my
school
around
the
same
+me
as
well.
I
played
the
cello
in
orchestras
for
close
to
6
years.
9

10. Shortly
aSer
I
began
orchestral
training
I
signed
up
and
performed
in
the
school
Jazz
band
on
guitar.
This
was
the
beginning
of
my
performances
as
a
guitar
player.
10

11. My
classical
jazz,
orchestral,
and
classic
guitar
training
had
begun
to
turn
into
a
much
more
aggressive
stage
once
I
started
playing
in
punk
rock
bands
at
home
with
friends.
This
was
the
beginning
of
my
own
personal
wri+ng
as
a
musician.
11

12. ASer
a
few
years
in
the
local
music
scene
and
aSer
a
few
failed
bands;
I
began
to
purchase
and
learn
how
to
use
music
recording
equipment
to
con+nue
my
wri+ng.
12

13. While
on
hiatus
from
playing
out
and
while
I
was
learning
produc+on
I
also
took
on
a
few
other
produc+on
traits.
I
worked
as
a
camera
man
for
New
Rock
Films
making
music
videos
for
local
Hip-­‐Hop
ar+sts
in
Cleveland.
13

14. I
also
had
training
in
school
for
some
picture
for
sound
techniques.
It
was
pre^y
helpful
down
the
line.
14

15. Learning
graphic
design
for
custom
album
covers,
logos
and
other
professional
promo+onal
materials
had
become
a
small
passion
of
mine.
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
sustain
a
band
alone.
Without
help
from
other
ar+sts
and
musicians.
15

16. I’ve
been
making
full-­‐band
records
all
alone
for
3
years
now.
The
City
Of
Sirens
is
a
musical
Project
that
I’ve
put
everything
I
am
into.
6
instruments,
all
of
the
vocals
and
all
of
the
wri+ng
and
produc+on.
A
completely
self
released
band.
16

17. Being
a
solo
ar+st;
I
had
to
turn
alterna+ve
methods
for
promo+on
to
get
my
name
out
there.
Through
the
internet
I
built
a
small
following
for
myself
which
lead
to
a
lot
of
exci+ng
experiences
and
adventures!
17

18. I’ve
had
mul+ple
tours
since
all
of
my
connec+ons
were
made.
18

19. I’m
considerably
computer
savvy.
That’s
one
of
my
greatest
a^ributes.
I’m
also
very
good
with
musical
instruments
and
technology.
I’m
a
writer
so
I
can
contribute
the
crea+ve
process
to
music
if
requested
by
the
ar+st.
19

20. I
want
to
contribute
to
their
crea+ve
process
and
replicate
the
sounds
that
they
produce
to
the
best
of
my
ability.
Helping
musicians
make
music
is
an
instant
gra+fica+on
for
me
and
is
one
of
my
personal
dreams.
I
am
a
hard
working
leader
and
I
am
known
for
my
teamwork
abili+es.
I
am
willing
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
get
the
job
done
efficiently.
Great
listener
and
always
willing
to
learn
something
new.
20

21. I
graduated
from
the
Recording
Workshop
in
Chillicothe,
Ohio.
One
of
the
greatest
learning
experienced
I
could
have
asked
for.
I
also
gained
plenty
of
connec+ons.
21

22. I’m
currently
a^ending
Full
Sail
University
as
an
Audio
Produc+on
Student.
Very
close
to
being
finished
and
I’ve
learned
a
lot
about
engineering
and
music
in
the
passed
two
years.
Can’t
wait
to
graduate
and
learn
as
much
as
I
possibly
can.
22

23. In
my
opinion
it’s
all
about
who
you
know
and
where
you’ve
been
in
this
business.
I
would
like
to
make
life
long
connec+ons
with
clients,
associates
and
co-­‐workers.
That’s
number
one
on
my
list
of
priori+es
aside
from
being
the
best
producer
I
can
be.
23

24. I
really
hope
to
learn
from
my
new
associates
and
become
a
strong
asset
to
the
team
and
quality
of
produc+on.
I
hope
to
discover
a
whole
new
realm
to
recording
through
networking
with
engineers.
24

25. If
you
hire
me
for
this
job
I’m
really
excited
for
the
future
and
you
won’t
be
disappointed.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
+me.
