Summary: Music has always been a special part of my family. Like my father, and his father before him, I am musically inclined. I am proficient at playing the drums, organ, piano, bass, and guitar. I began to follow in my father’s footsteps at the age of seventeen when I took a keen interest in playing the piano. My grandfather, James Aubry Walker Sr, greatly inspired me to play the piano. The style and sincerity with which he played had a profound impact on my spirit, even as a child leading into my adult life. I have always wanted to play like him, in a slightly more urban way. I began to write and compose music in my senior year of High School. At this moment I am a musician in Taking It to the Streets Real Gospel Music, a music group made up of myself and my younger sister and brother. We have recorded one album, in which I play the organ and compose the music to the lyrics. I wrote my first song in 2008, entitled “I Will Worship Thee, O Lord”, which I dedicated to God. I feel that my entire musical career should be dedicated to God because it was God who bestowed this gift upon me. Tragically I lost my grandmother May 16, 2009 this ultimately, pushed me to write music even the more. My aspirations in life are to get signed to “BIG MACHINE RECORDS”. I love the artists that are a part of this label, and I am anxious for the opportunity to contribute my own unique style to this label for fans to love. My songs contain a male’s point of view on life and relationships rather than a female point of view, as in Taylor Swift’s Fearless album. Because my family is so diverse, I can reach out to a broad audience. Ultimately, I feel that my music consists of a central power strong enough to reach all different backgrounds, races and cultures of people.
