"I’ve dedicated over 30 years of my life to this journey"

It all started back in The Mid-90's with an Anolog 4-track cassette recorder, 
a Yamaha PSR keyboard, and a Radio Shack microphone, 
I still remember how excited I was when I got my first computer with Windows 95' 
and recording our first digital song on “From The City of The A” on “Windows Recorder”.. lmfao OMG.. 
Just a few young guys in a basement, recording ourselves, writing, 
rapping, and singing our hearts out “Butta Dan, Bugsy, Cam, & Billy Da Kid”, 
At the time, I had no idea that moment would shape the rest of my life.

Some people get addicted to things like drugs, gambling, or alcohol… 
but for me, it was music. The creation of it. Taking a silent room and turning it into something that feels alive,
something that carries emotion. That feeling… I’ve been chasing it ever since.

Music became more than a passion. It became a lifeline.

I’ve been through a lot in this life. I’ve buried two of my three children. 
I’ve lost people I loved. I’ve battled depression, gone through a toxic divorce, 
and even experienced homelessness. There were moments I didn’t think I’d make it through… 
& moments where I didn’t want to.

But music was always there.

Through every high and every low, music kept me going. 
Even when I felt overlooked, ignored, counted out, or ridiculed,
I kept pushing forward. Because something inside me wouldn’t let me stop.

And that has to mean something.

I may not be the best song writer or musician in the traditional sense,
I never mastered instruments like so many of my incredibly talented friends,
but I’ve always found my place. Whether it’s in the studio, on stage, behind the decks, 
or behind the scenes… My heart & soul always belonged in music.

And I’ve also seen beauty in this life. I’ve watched my oldest son have a child of his own, &
I’ve found a woman, that makes me feel, what I believe is real love, 
even after speding 16 years with the wrong woman,
and those moments matter just as much as the struggles.

At the end of the day… music is what carried me through all of it.

My hope is that one day I can work with a major label to help other artists 
bring their visions to life. To inspire. To create. To be part of something bigger than myself.

And maybe one day, I’ll be able to look in the mirror and truly feel proud… 
knowing that choosing music 30 years ago was the right decision.

Because even after everything I’ve done, everything I’ve created… 
there are still too many days I feel like I wished i didn't wake up, even prayed not to.. 
cause it just feels like I’ve been stuck on the struggle bus to too damn long.. 
feeling damaged, broken, without purpose.. feeling like a failure.. a fool, 
and questioning everything, asking myself, is my life even worth living anymore.. 

But I’m still here…
And I’m still creating… - Vantyx
