For those who don..t know let me tell a little bout myself. I am a God-loving keyboard playa.., composer, producer, and arranger born and raised in Morristown, New Jersey. (Reppin' Mo-Town, New Jersey All Day!!!)
I started in church, Calvary Baptist Church in Morristown where blessed to be the Minister of Music's Apprentice.. I may sound like a Pro-Christian freak, but Im also down to earth and human. I'm a Black male with braids in my 20's without a father & a mother now beacause she passed a few years ago, without a criminal record, without the use of drugs, and living the dream of making money with music and I realise only the man upstairs could of made this happen so I thank him.(In the words of 50 Cents, "I'm laughing straight to the bank with this." -HA HA HA HA HA!- to Statistics, Government, Haters and anyone who stereotypes us black men).
Besides God, if you don't know by now, I love music. I've been playing by ear since the age of 3. I listen, play, and love all kinds of music. I also play a lttle drums and bass(I'm not Beastly yet, just pocket).
I have been blessed to have an endorsement with Korg/Marshall/Vox.

good stuff! you got my vote! i hope you like my remix and would send me a vote too! www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/1946
Devone not a real remix fan but yours sounds nice I voted good luck
Hey Devone, liked what i heard for the most part. You asked for criticisms so i'll give you this = the legato synth up on like octave 6 or there abouts, it's in there for too much of the mix, i would sequence so it's not in there all the time, and probably compress it a little harder to crush the top of it a bit, there's my 2 cents, please come by my page and insult mine, thanks B
I am really impressed with your remix..ive must have listened to hundreds of these..and i really enjoyed yours...it didnt sound like the same ol sh*t ive been hearing..you got my vote for sure...i just hope i was lucky enough to earn yours...thanks alot

Nice syncopated beat!! yeah the chorus is cool! I agree with Spikey. Keep up the good work! Check my HammaHouse Remixxx here: http://www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/2831 Vote for that Jam if U Dig it. All the best, Wilf
Hey! You've got a great remix! When the beat drops, it sets us up, which is cool... but when all of the other elements come in, it's by total surprise, which gave me the chills a little =) I love what you've done with the chorus too, in relation to the verse - the chorus opens up so much. Perhaps it be cool if you turned down that "siren" effect (that's panned right) by 2-4 decibels during the verse. It's at a good volume during the choruses though! Nice job!! Check out my POP/ROCK remix when you get a chance and let me know what you think! If you like it, I'd also love your vote as well =) Thanks, and good luck! Keep in touch - Spikey Jay
