So how do you start fresh without sounding new?

Hey there,

My name is Dana J. I'm a senior in high school now, headed to West Virginia University in the fall. Just checkin' this blog thing out for a while, expressing my feelings and concerns. I'm a super-duper music head, music is the only reason I wake up, my day-to-day grinds with all the bullshit in the world, it all goes back to a great groove, a serious beat, that mean bump that has your neck hurtin' for a while..it's what I live for.

I hope to incorporate music into my life and financially-fruitful career down the line. Possibly as a musician, as I play a couple of different instruments. I've been playing drums for about 11 years now, my main instrument by far. Marching band bass/snare/quads, African djembe/doun doun, orchestra timpani/auxiliary percussion, just in general...drumming is my thing.

I've also looked into promotion, starting my own company. We tryin' to do some big things, baby steps one-at-a-time..I'm planning for people to know about 8th Light Entertainment across the country within 5 years.

That's basically, I do have other facets of my life like political views, social justice leadership, design theory, etc. etc., but music is my get-down. You got a good track or something I should put my ear to, holla at me. Or if you wanna find out what Dana J.'s about, let me know.

Peace,
