<p>I’m an aspiring Hip Hop artist, song writer and producer. Music has always been my passion and now it is finally my priority. I was recently released from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, after 11 years of incarceration. I was convicted as a master mind in a string of armed bank robberies. As a product of my inner city environment, I partook in the gangs, drug sales, and other parts of the fast lane. Now days I work 2 fulltime jobs just to ensure my freedom and ability to keep working on my music.</p><p>WITH MY MUSIC…I wanted to demonstrate ability to adjust to any rhythm and lyricism. I believe that I offer just the skills, ambition, and drive to make a difference in lives of music lovers all over the world. I am eager to use my ability to hear music and write lyrics based on the sound it generates. I spent the last 12 years of my life perfecting and creating many lyric, unfortunately, I didn’t not have the means of creating beats until I was released from FBOP in October of 2009. </p><p>I am musically creative, well spoken, and enthusiastic. I recently have begun to produce my own beats and find that to be another rewarding way to communicate or express myself. Since music has always been one of my greatest passions in life. On a personal note, being a bi-racial person has caused me to prove myself in different spaces and places. I understand this industry is a hustle not much different than the ones I’ve grownup doing. Furthermore, this is the hustle I can do 24/7 without fear of the feds indicting me for hustling to hard. In conclusion, all I want is the opportunity to make the “underdog” a “champion” and inspire multitudes.</p><p>I appreciate your listening ear and full consideration.<br /> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /> </span></p>

<p>Country may not be as prolific of a genre as rock at Mixposure but it's still a good genre. The JMZ band isn't a full blown country band but we do delve into the genre once in a while when it calls. When We Make Love is a country ballad that called.</p><p>We hope the country fans here enjoy it!</p><p>The JMZ Band</p><p>http://www.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mixposure_song_player&song_id=26833&band_id=7100</p>
<p>Congratulations to Tommie Brewster for being our December Artist of the month!</p><p>From Tommie's Bio:</p><p> </p><p><strong>Background!!</strong><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>I have been a musician all my life and cannot remember a time</strong></p><p><strong>when I didn’t play piano. I started before I was 4 years old </strong></p><p><strong>and studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music</strong></p><p><strong>in London, playing several other instruments also.</strong></p><p><strong>At home, my influences were many from jazz to ragtime, from </strong></p><p><strong>swing to reggae, from rock to heavy metal but it was always</strong></p><p><strong>blues that spoke loudest to me in my heart and soul and it was </strong></p><p><strong>always my dream to write, play and sing my own blues music.</strong></p><p><strong><img class="spotlight" src="http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/180773_1885415892526_1155240882_32398793_1263073_n.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Every musician absorbs influences and I am no exception, but I do </strong></p><p><strong>not knowingly emulate or imitate anyone – I just write my blues</strong></p><p><strong>the way I hear it in my heart and my head.</strong><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>I also had a dream to produce my own music which I have now</strong></p><p><strong>achieved and with the help of some very professional final</strong></p><p><strong>mastering I am pleased with the finished product. I write</strong></p><p><strong>my music in the oldfashioned way, on manuscript and the lyrics </strong></p><p><strong>come to me along with the melody as a complete package. </strong></p><p><strong>I record also in as authentic a way as I can – no samples, </strong></p><p><strong>loops, tweaks – if I make a mistake in playing the piano part, then </strong></p><p><strong>I start at the beginning and do it all again!!</strong></p><p><strong>I play piano, sax, clarinet, harmonica, organ and a few other things.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I guess it's time to start the shameless self-promotion drive - pushing those stocking stuffer jazz CDs...here's a new one we just released on Dreambox Media with Joe Hunt (dr) and Steve Meashey (bass) from a concert in Carlisle PA.. Jim Easton of Abbeyville Road did the recording and mastering - http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/steverudolph6 Available from CDBaby, Amazon and itunes.... Thank You!</p>
