Ez In The Trap

Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist

I am a neo/anti-reactionist artist that likes to use music to convey the institutional abnormalities that so prevelantly brainwash people.  These institutions can be religious, political, or social in nature.  I am not against it but facilitate the realization that they exist.  Denial is the farthest thing on my agenda.  
 
I am a singer/songwriter and play acoustic guitar, bass guitar, electric guitar, and some piano.  I have been singing since I was 12, playing guitar since I was 17, and writing songs since I was 15. 
 
As a kid, I was the little boy that played disc jockey and recorded music from the radio onto cassettes.  Far before cell phones or computers and when not working, I would spend my teenage years listening to music through a small alarm clock radio underneath a pillow while singing along to songs by Led Zepplin, Moody Blues, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Blondie, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, Lionel Richie, Selena, Marc Anthony, Celia Cruz, Ana Gabriel, Kiss, Korn, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Richie Valens, The Pretenders, etc.
 
By age 12, I began singing in choir at my elementary school and started showcasing at competitions.  At 17, I bought my first Fender Acoustic Guitar at a SAM ASH music store in Orlando, Florida and shortly after began tuning my voice properly while writing my own songs.  As a young adult at age 19, after being honorably discharged from the military, I was diagnosed with a mild form of autism after surviving traumatic events in my early life that would later shape my musical abilities. Music has been the catalyst to counter these disabilities.
 
I refuse to refer to myself in the third person when writing about my life.  I would consider myself more of an artist that brings art to people rather than bombarding them with narcissism.
 
My writing style can be considered eclectic; since I can write, arrange, compose, and perform all of my own songs.  However, I am currently working with my brother; who is able to transpose cover songs with me, and my stepbrother who is a DJ and is remixing songs into a House/Trance/Alternative-Pop Genre.  
 
I was born in New York, NY and have been back and forth from New York to Orlando, Florida pending a record deal while attending college.   I aspire to use all of my gifts whether academically, professionally, artistically, and/or spiritually to assist me in my goal of breaking into the music industry.
 
I graduated from Baruch College majoring in Political Science and minoring in Sociology. I  am also an aspiring Criminal/Constitutional Attorney because I was definitely not born rich.  I currently attend The George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management with emphasis on campaign finance, strategic policy implementation, and mass media.  I plan to use my career as a financial bridge to open my own production/film company and produce my own music/films.
 
I am known to be the guy that can remain in control in spite of grave circumstances. 
 
"How can I help it if I think you're funny when your mad?"
 
"Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad." "I'm the kind of guy that laughs at a funeral."
 
"Can't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will!"
 
"I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of taking off my shirt."--Bare Naked Ladies.
 
"A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom." ---Bob Dylan 
 
Life experience has afforded me such an ability.
 
I am a veteran of the United States Armed Forces. I am also a recipient of the Peter Rondonine Award for Excellence in the Field of Journalism. Honor Student.
