Studio House

I z z y                                                THE Studio House

Take a breath…inhale this won’t be too long. My name is Isaiah Joseph. Recording Music just began for me recently last summer to be exact. Before then I use to listen to music and pretend as if I was a rapper or singer on tv making songs and featuring somebody else. Until finally I started to make records of my own writing. I use to write in class when I was in my comfort zone. I remember during AP testing in Biology I picked up a pen and started writing a song. Personally I usually don’t write songs handout. I prefer typing them and using my phone because if I think of something off the top of my head I can just quickly note it down . ‘’Oh No’’ Not another Drake.

I showed up to the studio house in connection to my friend Paul Bentley. From there I met everybody and Music was starting to begin for me. My old group came up with my rap name Izzy. I thought it was tight so I rocked with it since then. I had wrote and planned a lot of songs with my first group but every time I planned to make music it would never take action.

Things are still the same today. The people I make plans with seem to avoid me, don’t reply, or just apologize about forgetting and leave it at that. I thought maybe this is a sign to work solo. Whenever I came prepared for recording and I am all hyped up it seems as if something was designed to ruin what I have planned for the day. Its like I’m treading through barriers and struggling just to make music…something I have a passion for. To most people this could seem as a complaint but I think its to see who is serious about making music.

People question me and ask why don’t you just work by yourself? Well I do have reasoning behind why I prefer to make music with others rather than myself. Like I’m always interested in collaborating with other people who have a different style from mines, and it slowly brings you out of your shell into other genres. It’s also definitely helpful because change is not always bad it could turn into a positive outcome. And most important because the fact that it narrows my audience to a smaller amount, or maybe just myself, and that’s not what I’m looking forward to since I am doing music for fun and non profit. So if I did become famous I would bring my close ones up with me because when one of us makes it ‘’we all make it‘’.

I Find working by myself majority of the time boring, but It is interesting to make certain songs on my own. One thing that I can say about myself but I cant say for others is yes I am a hard worker but I’m not cocky. So when people compare themselves to me I just let the music speak for itself. When it comes to me alone writing songs I like to become creative.

My playlists of beats on my phone is the way to start when I write. Sometimes In the middle of the night I just get up, turn on the notepad on my phone, pop on my headphones and roam the streets for hours just writing song after song. It’s like it’s a whole other world out there in the night time when I’m walking by myself. I visualize each song when I make it. Also I can act out my words in person. I could be stuck in the middle of writing lyrics and ill bust out laughing because of what I wrote. My friends just look at me weird but they don’t see what I see yet. I could stay up all night in excitement recording songs all night, rapping until we see the sun come up! Haha.

I would like to continue to be an artist in the future but for now I will have to postpone my song writing for a few years since I am enlisted in the U.S. Army. When I return If I still have that little bit of fire inside me I will continue where I paused. Until then this concludes Izzy and music…
