My Musicology: I wanna start a band

23 Nov

 

I wanna start a band that plays rock music and other genres. I love music it’s just this wonderful thing that I can’t live without.  Everyday I’m discovering music and artists that I didn’t know of before.  Everyday I’m revisiting the classic songs that introduced me to this wonderful thing called music. For example, I’ve been introduced to Janelle Monae’.  I remember watching the Grammy’s last year and she performed during a set with Burno Mars and B.o.B.  Her hair is styled in a pompadoure style.  If you haven’t heard her music go to www.janellemonae.com and check it out. Also Elevator Fight (http://www.myspace.com/elevatorfight)-which has Zoey Kravitz (X-men First Class, daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet (Denise on The Cosby Show) as the lead singer-is another awesome band to check out. Visit their myspace page. Another artist who’s trying to get his start is my co-worker Billy Wright (http://www.myspace.com/billywrightlive). Please take a listen to his music it’s wonderful!

Okay now to what I first stated: I want to start a band.

Here are my skills: My first instrument was a recorder then I moved on to play the baritone in 6th and par t of 7th grade. I’m beginning to learn the guitar-I want to learn electric and acoustic. I can sing-how well I don’t know. I sing when I lead the Torah service at Shul (synagogue) and when I say the Torah blessings and when I read the Torah. I’ve been told by a few people that I have a good voice and with a little practice it can better but beauty is in the ear of the beholder.

What kind of music do I like? I love all types but rock is my favorite.  Visit my blip page: www.blip.fm/sailortalipluto to see what I like. I’m no expert I don’t know everything but I’m willing to learn and want to learn.

So that’s it. If you’re in the Central Florida area-perferable Seminole or Orange county let me know. Email me taliadina@gmail.com
