TRANSCRIPT

You just heard a song called “Watercolor Sunrise.” And guess what? It was written by yours truly!

This episode features music written by me. Because in order to understand where I’m going, you’ve got to understand where I’ve been.

Before I Was a Writer, I Was a Musician

Hello, and welcome to episode 10. The podcast is now 10 episodes old, and that’s worth celebrating!

Before I was a writer, I was a musician. I wanted to be a video game music composer. I grew up listening to Japanese video game music composers religiously, and I didn’t see any black faces in the video game industry, so I wanted to make my mark there.

My songs were a mix between video game music and jazz, and they were a lot of fun to write. From the time I was 15 until 22, I wrote over 120 songs, and I had to get creative because I didn’t have state of the art equipment.

The music you’re going to hear in this week’s episode is nearly 10 years old, but I think you’ll be able to hear my creativity, a unique sound that doesn’t sound like anything else. It’s me trying to find myself.

I’m glad I ended up on the writing route. But it’s fun to look back every now and again.

Enjoy the music in this episode.

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
