Welcome to the world of D Natural

Hello World!

Welcome to the world of me, D Natural, music producer/poet from Capitol Heights, Maryland, USA. I'm starting this blog for a number of reasons...I am an up and coming music producer pursuing my dreams of being the best producer/artist I can to help inspire and bring more positivity in the world. I set up this blog to take all who wants to go with me, on a journey as I set out to accomplish my dreams. It's becoming apparent to me that I am very unhappy right now as I type this at work, because I'm not doing all I know I can be doing to get my career popping. I've had enough working my 9-5 everyday seeing others that I admire and am inspired by push further and further into their careers. I've decided that even though I'm facing allot of obstacles right now, I'm going to start making honest, serious attempts at getting my music heard and getting my production company off the ground. Being that I haven't made much progress thus far, I feel this is a great time to invite you guys to follow me as give you a play-by-play like account of my progress toward my dream. I'm gonna tell you everything from the little or no success I have to the more successful endeavors I come by during my quest. Anyone who has advice and wants to help me, by all means, feel free to contact me.

Now with that said here's a little about me: I am from the Maryland/DC area USA. I am a single, 25 (almost 26 in Jan.) year old man with no kids. I've been doing music all my life. I taught myself with very little to no formal training to play bass, guitar, drums, keys, and even the tuba with I was in grade school. I've played in school choirs/bands, funk bands, go go bands(a DC thang) and in my church. Music is my absolute passion. I started making beats in high school and I got more serious when I joined the US Navy and bought myself decent equipment which I still use now. I'm a fan of all music from Beethoven to Biggie Smalls. I want to get in the industry doing hip hop/r&b music but long term my goal is to create all types of music all over the world, where ever I am needed. Some of my favorite producers include J-Dilla/Jay Dee, Timbaland, Nottz, DJ Hi-Tech, DJ Premier, Pete Rock.... and the list goes on and on. Lately I've just been working on just building my catalog with my instrumentals and I've also started an experimental solo EP, that I am going to attempt to put out independently (with you all watching and listening I hope) Soon I will be posting my songs, various beats I do, collabs I happen to get into, and anything dealing with my pursuit of my dream along with day to day things that happen to me. I'm not gonna hold anything back from yall. If you would like to hear some of the past work I have done, here's the link to my Myspace page where I will be directing you all quite a bit: myspace.com/artisiticvisionzproductions

Hopefully together we will witness me manifesting great things in my life with my music cuz right now I aint happy, but I'm gonna continue to fight. Eventually the day will come where I can leave this 9-5 shit behind and just do my music full time. Here is where that quest begins! Holla
