How did we get here?

In December of 2019, I wrote and produced a Christmas hip-hop video for a youth program at my church, it was called “The Gift”, We covered all the bases of the Christmas story, a bit unorthodox, sure, but a platform the participants could identify with.  It was well received by populist as well as traditionalist alike. A few short months after that, COVID-19 hit and disrupted our lives.

Like many other people isolated at home, getting creative with their time, God put in my spirit to expand on it, expand on what God? Contemporary Christian R&B and Hip-Hop music production. Okay, I have written a few songs before, even had one track played on local radio. I thoroughly enjoyed writing the lyrics, producing the tracks, and then working with a videographer on the development of the music video, but nothing to the magnitude of what I was being led to do.

C’mon Lord, you know I love music, so I accept this mission. I produced my first track, amateur TRASH, should have been the title, just how it sounded, how it flowed (or didn’t), the overall objective of the song was not conveyed.

It reminded me of when Cain brought his offering and God had NO REGARD for it, unlike Cain, I started over, I researched and then invested, I purchased an industry standard D.A.W (Digital Audio Workstation), Audio interface, microphone, monitors, headphones, and acoustic treatment, plugins, etcetera.

I learned the products and strategies, continued to have a dialogue with God instead of a monologue, I started writing and mixing and Hectic Entertainment is a culmination of all that in music form.

Don’t just listen to the music HEAR the music.

Enjoy!
