I am so proud of my son - his first recorded music

[Tam]

Hi guys and gals, I want to share with you what my 16 year old son recorded today with his dad in the studio. he wrote and sang/rapped all of the lyrics, and him and his dad went into their studio this afternoon and a little while later this is what came out of him....

His first tunes

Keep in mind he is 16 and this was his first ever recording. He creates his music on the computer using programs he finds for that sort of thing. I am old school, instruments and such, but HIS instrument is his computer. He also did his own backup vocals. This is ALL him.

Home schooooloed!!!!

My first thought before clicking was "oh, god, this is mostly likely going to really suck and I am not going to post anything because I don't want to be mean." Kind of like right before someone shows you a picture of their baby and you pray its not ugly.

Then I hit play and was pleasantly surprised.

The music is great. The lyrics are great. He could improve some on the vocals but that comes in time and everything is tweaked so much these days that most people probably sound like that before going through pro tools and such. That and at 16 our voices are going through change -- poor Justin Bieber.

Your son has a potty mouth.

Beats are good but vocals need a lot of work.

Overall, not bad for a first time recording.

No, I wouldn't do that, I have been involved in my husband's bands for more than 20 years and if it sucked, I'd tell them and wouldn't ask anyone else to listen to it. lol

Having said that, thank you for such a kind thing to say. His vocals will improve, this was his first time ever doing anything like this and with his dad in the next room recording it and his use of some choice words, I think he was extremely nervous. But I told him before he went in, don't worry about the choice of words, we all know how the game is played and if that is what goes there then it just does. Even at that though, I think his nerves were eating a little at him.

Thanks guys.. I just had to share it with you, I know there are a lot of musicians here that would appreciate what he is doing.... even if it isn't your style of music, you have to appreciate the talent.

And yes, this child is home schooled. lol

I can't imagine for the fucking life of me where he gets that nasty ass fucking mouth, can you? lmao

His vocals will improve once the nerves are gone, I think. I've heard him in his room when he thinks no one is listening. lol

[epitome]

You know, come to think of it, he did sound nervous ... I couldn't place what it sounded like until you mentioned it.

[epitome]

I've heard him in his room when he thinks no one is listening. lol

I can only dance with no one is watching.

Oh and if I drop acid. Well, I think I can dance while tripping but would I really know? The mirror always ended up melting when I watched myself.

Haven't got a fucking clue. Does he kiss his mother with that mouth?

Not to bring your personal life to public...But....The way you mention "his dad" makes me wonder about you and Jimmy.

My dancing is so bad that I don't think it would matter what drug I took, I still couldn't convince myself I could dance. I love to watch people dance, but wow... it hasn't ever been something I was blessed with at all.. lol

I heard the nerves right away, that's why I knew what you were talking about. He was so worried if he said the word fuck something would come flying across the room at his head, or you would have thought that. lmao

[NaughtyRob]

The music is really good, he needs to turn up the volume on the vocals but not bad at all.

We are doing fine. He is in the studio with his own band right now making some good music and he's helping Rally, obviously, with his music. He is helping my kids thru their schooling, which we are now handling at home... and we're just carrying on, making the best of whatever is thrown at us, like we always do. And me? Well, you know me, always working, nothing much has changed there, other than getting older. lol

Glad to hear it. I was a little worried for a moment there.
