As I've said in my previous post, I am starting this new sub-blog on three premises.
First, this is my way of paying tribute to the culture of educational equality in the local music industry. It's such a very heart-warming fact that I was able to do lots of things in the music community despite my lack of a college diploma. I was able to occupy various positions (vocalist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist and drummer) in different rock bands, organize music events with the help of my friends in Agama Productions, be a choirmaster, write songs, be a music critic, and a lot more... all these without a degree in music!
Second, I see the need to further promote artistically dignified yet under-recognized musicians (both locally and abroad), who have always been pushed into the backseat in a music industry where popularity-fueled entertainers bask in the spotlight. Haven't we had enough of Lady Gaga who preposterously declared that pop music will never be lowbrow? Oh please.
And finally, of course the lessons of life as taught by my musical experiences is worth the discourse. Now this one is a really wide and fertile field. The subject of life's lessons as imparted to us by music is way too beautiful that right now I cannot find a word or two than can describe even a tidbit of it.
All these being said, I hope you would find my new sub-blog "Music Lessons" worth visiting. I will be posting my articles in this blog soon.
Crank it up!
