What do you want to be when you grow up?
Like most kids, I hated this question. I love movies, TV, and music. But- I couldn't pick. I knew I didn't have the calling to be a film maker. I am absolutely fascinated by television production, especially the early years. And music has always been in my family. My Great Grandfather was a music director, my Grandfather owned a state of the art recording studio in Miami in the 50s that courted the likes of Elvis Presley and Mick Jagger. My Grandfather, always the day dreamer, wasn't a very good businessman and signed over his half of the business. Growing up I heard all the stories, but I did not get to experience any of them. My Uncle is also very musically talented, he had "the ear" for music. He could hear a tune and play it. Amazing. I had a lot of fun with that as a kid, watching my Uncle pay any melody I threw at him. The instrument didn't matter either. He could play piano, violin, guitar, banjo, anything he got his hands on.
Anyway- with all this information, I never knew exactly what I wanted to do. Sharing music with friends, finding the right music for parties and award shows for work events was and is something I love. But I never knew the name for it, and never knew I could make a career out of it, until this. Watching Star Trek 2009, I had a major light bulb moment. So thank you Michael Giacchino, for helping me realize my dreams. You did exactly what I would have done if I was given the task. Take a look.
And someday, I hope to do the same for someone.
