I have been a musician since I began playing piano when I was seven. I play other instruments as well, but none that I enjoy quite as much as piano/keyboards. My first keyboard was the Korg N364, a beast of machine. The sounds are decent, the the workstation capabilities are irreplaceable. There is huge difference between writing music on a keyboard and writing on a computer, and I much prefer the first. Two years ago, my first band, Boulevard Jones, got a spot in the Cleveland High-School Rock Off, so I decided to get myself another board so I could look cool like those artists who play multiple keyboards at the same time. At that time, I had to play bass, piano, organ, and some various other solo patches. Unfortunately, the extra keyboard didn't make me any more attractive, but my Fatar Studiologic 990 has never let me down. While it isn't a keyboard for a person who simply wants something to play around on, it is an amazing midi controller that has true piano hammer action due to the actual hammers inside of it. I would recommend it to anyone in need of that second keyboard to be the piano (88 keys, great action). After that, I had to write some music for my school's production of Fame. The music was bad 80's dance music (was there any other type?), but it was a hit with my classmates and the audience. That was the debut of my music, and from then on, I have been writing. I have gotten away from the cheap 80's synthesizer sound (hopefully), and have attempted some more respectable work. Download some songs and listen!
