Introductory Essay

Do you know what a meloman is? It is a person who loves music. Some people think I am crazy about music, but I think it is one of the things that make me special. I cannot imagine a world without music because I have been always surrounded by it. In my life I have learned how to play basic musical instruments, and I have written some songs. In addition, my job as a DJ, is very important for me.

Six years ago, I liked to play music, but I did not know how. Then when I bought my first guitar, I started to learn to play music. Since then I have played music just for fun and now, I know how to play guitar, piano, drums bass. Although I am not an expert, people like the way I play music. They say I am a lyric musician because I can play a song by just listening to it, on the other hand, I do not know how to read musical sheets. I think my practice is important because it has been reflected on the applause of the audience when I have a presentation. Although I have not won many contests, I have had the opportunity to appear in EXA FM, Aguascalientes TV, and Azteca 7.

Since I learned how to play music, I started to write songs. So far I have 10 written songs and they talk about my life experiences. Some of them talk about God as in “Total Expression”, and “My Protection”. They are very important for me, specially “Total Expression”, because it was the first song I wrote in a very had moment of my life. Others songs are fun like “Intro” that is a song that does not have lyrics, and does not mean anything, just the love for music. To record my songs I have had to learn how to use special software for music production, and I consider it is very funny to play with the musical effects to dive emphasis in some parts of the songs.

After I got involved in musical production I started to take advantage of that. Today I am a professional DJ and I mix all kind of music for all kind of parties Now have my youtube channel where I have uploaded some experiments about remixes, crossovers, covers, and instrumentals from popular music. I think it has been well accepted by the audience because of the many good opinions and good rating.

For all those reasons I consider music an important part of my life. Not only because it is lovely, but also because it is my job. Then, I cannot imagine my world without music. I listen to music since I wake up until I fall asleep. So, yes I am a meloman, and I always will be it.
