So I was on the phone the other day with a Mate of mine (Mr Sandy) and we were talking about this new “genre” of music that seems to be getting into the Hiphop and RnB world…

Now he asked me what do you think it is, I said I don’t even know what to call it….
The Fact that this music is pretty much throw away music not classics like say Biggie “One More Chance”

He goes “I think its disrespect!” “Yeah thats the name.“Disrespect!!”

So I had to start this!

What tracks do you think need to go into this Genre?

At the time we were talking about this track ….

Iyaz – Replay from Leon on Vimeo.

So join in, what needs to go into this new Genre?

Its a lil project I did on my own,  as a prequel to the Award Winning show I wrote Music for Pied Piper (www.boyblueent.com)

I just had an Idea to create music to pictures of what I thought happened before  the Pied Piper came into town…

I just had these pics in my mind and got this great Artist I knew Inkfetish (http://www.inkfetish.co.uk/) to get my mind out on canvans or in this case wood!!!

So check out the pics and listen to the songs on the media player

Create your own vision from the two!!

If you wanna get the full versions of these tracks hit up boyblueent@mac.com..

All your fav or tracks you did not know  I did will be up soon!

I am siting down for the first time deciding what I should write for my first blog…?

Hmmm….

I think I need to say that I wish to make this a place of interest, into what interests me, and a source of info and a place where I can share..

I know that, that sounds all pie in the sky like but on a reals’ I want to start putting content to inspire and challenge all you music lovers and or creators.

I think for a long time I have stayed behind the secnes and not shown my true self and the bredth of what I do and what I wish to move forward with, I think this is unfair on me and also You the follower of Mikey J as you are not getting a true sense of all that gets or keeps me going in this “Music” Game.

I want to make you the Blog follower want to keep coming back and listening, seeing and feeling whats new in my world…

I am gonna do a lot of experimentation and I want you lot to join me…

Trust me I got some fun shizzle to put out there…

Anyhow the next blog will be me showing you something, cause its true I have been quiet whilst doing my work, I prefer to show….

And I am asked all the time so much that peeps want to know about my production,  listen to more of my work and get advice and or get into the game…

Well now you have a place you can find me all the time!!

So Welcome….

And the ride will begin shortly.
