My evolution in musical taste has been quite interesting. I really started listening to my own choice of music around fifth grade. Since I was just getting started with my exploration of the musical genres, it was easy to start with classic music, classic rock. I asked my mom to buy me my first album, “Back in Black” by AC/DC. I listened to that album on my room’s loud speakers continuously for about a month. I loved Angus Young’s energy on the guitar and often would invite friends over merely to bump our heads to the music. Not much later I started watching “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” The intro rap that Will Smith did really got my ears popping. I knew every word to the rhyme and in search of similar music I purchased “Big Willie Style” and “Willenium” both of Will Smiths first two albums. After a couple of my friends heard me listening to Will Smith as my choice of rap I quickly got introduced to the real stuff, Tupac, Biggie, and Dre. The only rap I continue to listen to today. In High School my obsessions began. I was introduced to The Beatles, the greatest musical group of all time, and I stayed fixed on their music for nearly an entire school year. I read two different biographies, bought every album and anthology they ever produced and packed my bedroom walls with their posters. Then came on my obsession with jam bands centered around live performances, something that I continue to love, and perhaps be moderately obsessed with today.
