Hedgefunk - Electronic Jazz-Funk & Nu-Jazz-Funk Music

in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago (edited)

Greetings

Thought I'd bite the bullet and write my first post here. I'm a 45 YO musician in London UK who decided a few years back to fully pursue my passion of music regardless of the outcome. Having been in a 'proper job' for almost 20 years now I realised it's never too late and I don't want to look back and regret not making the most I could out of what makes me happy - music.

I like jazzy-funky stuff, heavily influenced by the 1990s London Acid-Jazz and house music scenes. I also like some modern progressive house and what's now being called nu-jazz/nu-funk/nu-disco. An example of the kind of stuff I'm producing is here:

That's just a section of an unfinished track - also one that I wrote about 25 years ago and played with my 11 piece band at the time...

Back in my youth when I was a young hopeful we didn't have the Internet, or Youtube or even very accessible computers - it was all guitars, amps, PA systems and cassette tape machine in the corner of the room for the noisy 'garage band'.

I didn't get on very well with the music industry back then, something about it didn't click for me. But now is a different story because the new music industry means I can make the rules myself, distribute, promote and target people without a label.

So that's my intro - I play guitar, bass, keys, write, produce a bit in Ableton Live - but only enough to develop my ideas then outsource mixing and mastering.

I'm excited to be here, I love music, I love blockchain and the possibilities ahead. I'll leave you with my new single that I will release soon on the major distribution channels:

    Hello ddhf! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

    1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
    2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
    3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
    4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
    5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
