KING KONG-MONSTER FLOW SHOT BY @UNEEQMUSIK

Throw back for real! My first video ever back in the early part of 2013 my engineering was horrible it's crazy how time changes, let me know what you think

Being Professional

Professionalism in the music industry is not only crucial to us as audio professionals; it’s also vital to our success! Being aware that drugs and alcohol has always been very closely associated to the music industry especially with genres such as Hip Hop and Rock we must refrain from allowing these substances to dilute our work ethic and negatively affect our professionalism especially when there is profit and gain at steak. As an audio engineer I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been offered drugs or alcohol from clients, although they have good intentions I always decline simply because I view myself as a professional and I’m paid because I know what I’m doing, not to party. Don’t get me wrong I’ll be the first to admit that I indulge every here and there with a drink or 2, but once you let factors like drugs and alcohol contribute to the decline of your professionalism and overall credibility that’s when you know you need to tone it down and remember why you became an audio professional in the first place. What do you think???

Technology & Privacy

It is more and more and apparent that technology is being brought to new levels never imagined before, but as technology becomes more prevalent in today’s world we must first ask ourselves exactly how safe is this technology and if we are taking the right precautions to protect ourselves from it. A fact that is not commonly known is that we are almost always being watched and our activities and behaviors always being monitored, whether we are out in public or in the comfort of our own homes. Cell phones can track our exact location by simply just being turned on, vehicles can now track our driving habits and behaviors, and street cameras can record us at any time. Although this advance in technology is extremely helpful to solve and prevent crime, we must realize that there’s a fine line between using technology for purposes to better society and using technology to invade the privacy that every human being is entitled too. Next time your are connected to your smart device or computer just ask yourself if you would want your activity being monitored and watched!

The Difference Between Being Rich & Being Famous

What's up guys, for this week I'd thought I would take a break from blogging about ProTools and what not and rather talk about a crucial truth we must all realize if we truly want to impact the music industry. It seems to me that now days people confuse being famous with being rich, I believe this common misconception can be dangerous for an emerging artist! Just because you have achieved some sort of fame does not mean you're rich, in fact there have been many musicians who rose to great fame just to end up with financial debts at the end of the day. For example the cases of Mc Hammer and TLC showed us that know matter how much records you sell having greedy people behind you, mismanaging your finances, and overall being ignorant to the way the business side of the industry operates will all leave you with empty pockets. Furthermore being famous brings it's own problems as well having to constantly deal with paparazzi and always being in the public light must feel very exhausting and make the artist feel as if they no longer have a life of their own to enjoy. Personally I'm a very private person so I definitely would not care for fame and all the extra baggage it brings, but I am trying to make a living in this industry and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. So it is crucial that you don't mix being famous with being rich!
