AUDIO MATRIX HISTORY

I was born in a small town called Toledo Ohio in 1970. I was introduced to music creation by watching my father perform as I was growing up. Sonny Sanders (my dad) was a full time employee at the local Jeep plant in Toledo, and was also a full time Disc jockey. He was also a musician, and I watched him play guitar often. By the age of five, I remember playing with some old rubber bands I had stretched across the kitchen cabnets from one side to the other handle to the other side of the cabnets.I suddenly realized that by putting my fingers on different parts of the rubber band that they made different sounds and pitches. LOL, I taught myself how to play Row Row Row Your Boat, with my moms old rubber bands. I realized that I could make different sounds with just about anything I could put my hands on. My mom use to play piano in church as a kid, and also sang in the church choir. She taught me about Harmony's, and melodies by teaching me the three part harmony in the song, Shube Dowhap, Hey Hey- ah-ah -ah. So my parents got my first keyboard when I was 9, and I performed the hit TV show theme song from MASH at my grade school choir show along with a song I composed to follow. I received my first standing ovation at that time, and it changed my life forever! About three years later, My folks got me my first professional keyboard for Christmas, (THE KORG POLY 61 SYNTHESIZER) And it was like being a lost kid in a candy store after hours! It wasn't to long after that I started my own band called THE RIPP. We played in all kinds of talent shows, and won more than half of them performing songs like CANDY GIRL (new edition) Oh Shela (ready for the world) WORD UP (cameo) and many of our own songs we wrote. We use to go head to head with a rival group called THE DOTSON'S. The younger singer Chester, BKA, LIFE JENNINGS went on to become a major pop artist in the early 2000"s. We lost a few, and won a few, but it was always exciting, and a great time! Years later, I moved to Michigan, and joined a group as a keyboard player using the name, KK KRAZZY CHUCK in a group called THE AVENUE owned by Anthony Larkins, BKA, ANT FUNKY. After a few years, I moved back to Toledo, and joined another group called, Jerry Holden, and THE GROOVES (owner of TYAD RECORDS). After that band fadded away, I started to build my own recording studio using the name, ARTIST ONE, while working with a dear friend of mine at GREEN 19 DIGITAL STUDIOS, owned by KEN JAGEN. At the age of 28, I decided to move to Houston, and become a keyboard player in a friends band from my former group THE RIPP as a sound guy and top 40 music producer in his band called LATRIZION, owned by Paul Urbina. After about two years, I decided to pursue my dreams as a studio owner called AUDIO MATRIX, and start my own library of instrumentals for media projects, and local artist"s. I have accomplished the library, and produced local artist"s such as KARINA NISTYLE, SOUTH PARK MEXICAN, just to name a few. Currently I am searching for projects to work on, and artist"s to produce. So do feel free to share some ideas, chat, or even just listen to some of the tracks that are available for projects. All the world is a stage, so I hope to stand out a little in this mucical circus! www.myspace.com/audiomatrix68

SOUND OF THE TIMES!

If your anything like me, you get tiered of the same old boring, played out, predictable music in today's media markets! So lets talk about what it is we want to hear in today's markets. Most of us want to hear original, catchy, and unpredictable music to match the occasion while capturing our attention without reservation. We are all aware of the competition in huge masses trying to land a deal, or a score in media production, and entertainment fields. This is why the artist has to be sharp about standing out, and producing material that will have the listeners attention the first 5 seconds of play. That's my standard rules while composing music for markets. I am aware of the composition out here, and well aware of the fact that I am clearly not the best composer out here. But I am confident in my work, and constantly strive to produce unpredictable tracks that will make the listener become part of the scene, offering their own emotions to play along in the act. All the world is a stage, so standing front and center requires all of my energy to be focused on being as original my imagination will allow me to be.
