Major: Music Production/ Audio Engineer

My name is Sterling Gelin. I'm 19 years old. I'm from a small island named Haiti. My love for music first began when I was six years old. The moment my father bought me my first piano, i knew music would be my greatest passion. I moved to America when I was thirteen. The church i went to had no musicians no instrument, nothing; so, my brother and I along with my cousins got together to form a band. We played in the church, social events and even took professional lessons with music oreinted organizations such as Operation Unite, New York. The band started to disband after my cousin and my brother went to college. The band completely stop after I went away to college. I never stop playing though.  i played the drums mostly. I tried to get myself involved in playing different musical instruments such as guitar and some piano and even got involved with some dj equipment. Music became my life

My favorite music has been R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, Soft Rock and a little bit of Country. My favorite artists are Usher, R. Kelly, Jay-Z, Drake and so on.  Out of every genres of music, i love R&b music the most. The reason why is  because i think r&b music speak to people's soul. I can definetly see myself making good r&b hits for artists. When I'm  not hooked to my music, I love playing soccer. I played varsity soccer in high school. One other thing i like to do is bowling. I bowl every now and then with my step dad and it's a really fun sport. 

After high school, I went to attend Siena College to study business management. It was going alright. After a year and a half, I realized that i should do what my heart really loves which is music. So i looked up some schools and i landed to the recording connection webpage. I read about their programs and i became very interested in their music production progam. Producers like Michael B. Cox, Rico love have  inspired me to become a music producer. I love their work-ethic, their music and collaboration with different artists. They are music geniuses to me. 

Along making music, i am getting in the habit of writing songs. My favorite song writer is R.Kelly. In my opinion, i think he 's written the best  lyrical songs. I'm thriving to be like him someday. Music is not a choice to me. It's my life. It's what i want to do til the end. I'm very motivated and devoted to hard work and challenges in the years to come.
