My passion for song writing and music production began in March of 1994 when I saw a Korg Wavestation being pulled out of a Station Wagon. The mesmerizing sound it produced left me both bewildered and in awe. Regrettably, the chance to incorporate that Korg, or any other Korg instrument, into my early recordings never materialized. Instead, my musical palette in those days was primarily painted with the strokes of Casio, Realistic, and later, Yamaha keyboards. These brands were readily available in electronic stores, such as RadioShack, during the early 1990s. Interestingly, I didn’t personally acquire any of these keyboards; they were mostly Christmas presents. I admit that, while I found them intriguing, I didn’t truly grasp their potential until I discovered how they could be harnessed to record my own music. This marked the inception of a passion that would accompany me throughout the entirety of my life.
