Hello my name is Cameron McBride-Gee and I am currently in
my final year of the Music Production program at Full Sail University. I am 28 years old and as a child the
family that occupied my overcrowded home exposed me to a multitude of genres.
My Mom loved Classical and Jazz, my Grandparents introduced me to the Oldies
and my Uncle enjoyed House and Hip Hop. I familiarized myself with the
remaining genres my family weren’t privy to, and expanded their horizons in
return for creating mine. I am very thankful to have had relatives that were so
“in-tune” (no pun intended) with the history of music and so willing to share
all they had learned through their years of listening.
In my spare time I enjoy watching sports. I have been a
lifelong follower of boxing, wrestling, football and basketball all the while
learning and appreciating other sports such as baseball, tennis and mixed
martial arts along the way. I’m using what I know about music and applying it
towards my love of sports everyday. I have composed music for sports shows,
created wrestler’s entrance music and provided my hometown football team with theme
songs. For me, this is a dream because I’m able to merge my two passions and I
couldn’t be happier. I host an online wrestling radio show on Monday evenings
via blog talk radio and I put as much effort into continuing to learn about
sports as I do music. All I want is to become better at everything I strive to
do and most importantly, be able to see myself as being successful in achieving
my goals while maintaining my happiness and joy.
Mr. McBride –
ReplyDeleteWow. Simply wow. You have compressed the combined information of two weeks worth of study into four easy to read blog entries very effectively. I feel more informed after reading your blogs than I have after listening to the entire three and a half hour audio book about The Velvet Underground and the interview with the author of The Beach Boys book.
Like you growing up with Marvin Gaye, I got an early introduction to The Beach Boys through my mother. I was very young then and could not appreciate the finer aspects of music and it’s meaning, but I enjoyed the carefree sound and the way the songs were sung. Listening twenty years later made me realize that the techniques used in recording The Beach Boys were timeless, just like the music.
Again, you have created some great blogs. I find it hard to believe that a student, not a seasoned industry professional, wrote these blogs. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Keep up the excellent work! - Rich Mascitti
