Meeting my mentor - Posted on 2014-05-12 by Derron Sims

It was great meeting my mentor. We sat and just talked. He told me about how he got started in music in general,from the days where he started out with the pause button on his tape player to the days where he worked with Puffy(P.diddy for the youngings out there)and his Badboy label,along with The Wu-tang to Suave house and Cash money. It was funny that he got started in production and engineering the same way I got into making music, with just some instrumentals,some snippets recorded from The Quiet storm on K97(back in the day) using the pause button on a double cassette player(my first sampler/drum machine,ha) to put together tracks. So it was apparent that there was a connection from day one,and that I got paired up with someone who's perfect to guide me on this journey.
