Marquis James 2.4 Assignment (Audio Produciton)

1. I will talk about my strong work ethic and the quality of work that I have created in songwriting, editing, mixing and mastering. I will talk about how I respect and admire their influence in the industry and the artists they have signed. I have education and experience and linking in partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group will help lead us both to new levels. I will stay knowledgeable as the industry continues to advance. I'll also talk about how I'm timely worker that goes above and beyond and meets deadlines.

2. I will discuss how I plan on using the skills I obtain at Full Sail to fulfill my dreams as a Music Producer in relation with Capitol Christian Music Group. While in school, I will gain knowledge in areas that I have not gained experience in such as marketing, music business (more in depth), audio consoles, and equipment troubleshooting to name a few areas. I have served many churches throughout the years in the music and media departments. I am currently an Audio Engineer at a large church in Tulsa, OK. Another asset is the opportunity I was given to work closely with a major gospel record label, Kingdom Records, and have written 6 songs for 3 major gospel artists. Two of my songs were the first singles released on those albums, and two of the albums I wrote for went gold. I'm hopeful that this experience will stand out to Capitol Christian Music Group. I will continue to build my portfolio and experience by writing music and eventually producing not only gospel artists, but other genres as well.

21. TRUE MESSAGE

22. I will talk about of I have wanted to work in the music industry most of my life. Starting at 15 years old when a friend of mine told me about software that I could use to create beats from my computer. I'm a drummer and wanted to know more about the technology side of making beats. I started playing around with the software, let people hear my music, and found that I may possibly have been good at it. I mastered that program and began to learn about more advanced software, eventually receiving my first recording software. I began creating full songs for my friends that rapped and sang, then I would record them. I got an internship while in high school at a major studio in Chicago, and was trained to produce full songs there. I think this history will display my years of passion and growth in Music Production.
