About Me |
|
"May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect. Deliver me, Tyler, from being complete and perfect." - Tyler Durden, Fight Club "I'd rather fall tragically short while chasing impossible dreams, than do anything else in this world. Destination: Big lights, big life." - Poe fan "The Rockae" reviewed by the Village Voice To paraphrase Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel, there's a thin line between genius and stupid, one that Peter Mills and Cara Reichel walk with flair in The Rockae, their rock adaptation of Euripides's The Bacchae, part of the NYMT fest...to read more check my blog or go HERE I'm a junkie for all things creative and a lover of escapism. I'm a professional music producer with some level of notoriaty (by "professional" I mean, my sole source of income stems from producing music). I was nominated for a Grammy last year for some work with Common's song, "The Corner" and am proud of the Gold Record for the same song. When it's all said and done, I'm living out my life's dream and am living proof that if you work hard enough, take enough criticism, and refuse to give up, then anyone can make their dreams come true. And I really mean MAKE their dreams come true. It definately doesn't get handed to you and it is always on the verge of being revoked. Therefore, in order to keep your dream, you must respect it and respect the people who helped you along the way. It's amazing what a simple "thank you" will do. 2005 saw me working with HIM, Bizzy Bone, Paula Cole, and a slew of indies. 2006 saw me topping the national college Hip-Hop charts with the charismatic MC, Big Meg , producing "Sweet Radio" and "Africa Welcomes You" for the South African super group, Mikanic , as well as recording the internationally acclaimed blackgrass album, "Head Home", for the insanely talented misfits known as O'Death (voted #1 best act to see by Time Out New York), and single handedly developing the rock band, Decembers Fall , into a Myspace phenomenon, proving talent through diversity. Please check out my solo projects, Haunted Echo as well as Resident51 , my project with producer and vocalist, Elaine Benavides . |
