Ted.com is devoted to creating “ideas worth spreading” across the country. I listened to Steve Jobs talk about his life and how he overcame obstacles to get where he is now.

Steve talked about connecting the dots in his life, love, and death. When he was born, Steve was put up for adoption and later went on to live with foster parents. He grew up and went to college but later dropped out because he felt that the classes he was involved in didn’t meet what he wanted to pursue in his career.  Steve and his friend began building Apple computers and in 10 years later established a well-known company.

Steve mentioned falling in love with what he has a passion for. He had been fired from his own company, (Apple) but still desired making computers so he began another company and continued doing what he loved best. One quote that he mentions said, “The heaviest of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.” Steve never gave up on what he had a passion for.
Steve also talked about death and how he overcame his situation. He had cancer but thanks to doctors, who worked on him, cured his sickness right away. Steve took away from that to have courage and intuitions on what you do in life and never give up on your dream
Listening to Steve helps me realize that I should never give up on my goal. I really have a passion for music so as love as I desire it in my heart, then I will continue to push for making a positive impact in the music industry. I must continue to keep faith in my mind, a positive attitude, and strive for glory. One thing that Steve taught me that I will never forget is to “keep looking forward and never look back.”

Association of Music Producers

Looking for an association to join that provides information about becoming a successful engineer? Well AMP is here to meet your needs



The Association of Music Producers is an organization that’s dedicated to educating members about production and creation within the music industry. Founded in 1988 AMP continues to provide information needed to meet the qualities of a professional music studio.

One of the major influences this association has with the music industry is showing music producers how to take correct steps in advertising their music. Amp provides you with information about spec sheets, music development/demos, timing, and how to run a studio. The association breaks down each process and answers all of the questions a music producer might have in mind. They also give you a precise background about knowing your rights to your music. AMP allows you to interact with other members via online and also workshops provided by the organization. During conventions contest or held for producing music/beats that are rewarded with compensation.

AMP also provides great programs for members associated. They are well involved with fund-raising, increasing awareness and respect for our industry, educating the public on our value, and other programs that are increasing the knowledge amongst many who don’t know about producing music. 

As I build my studio I look for this association to be a guideline to my success. AMP benefits me with knowledge on how to put a studio together and the law behind everything I research such as production guidelines, and composer royalties, a compensation or portion of the proceeds paid to the owner of a right

AMP has connected with over 80 members/companies nationwide and has chapters in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Miami, and Los AngelesIt will continue to break boundaries and strive for greatness as well as insure that music producers will learn what it takes to become a successful engineer.
