Unsigned artists be here

I have always been fascinated with music. Especially making your own. I started learning the guitar when I was 12. My dad had his old acoustic guitar, a Yamaha brand. We took it off from my cousin who borrowed it for like a few months. By the time we got it back, it had a few scratches and some cracks. Even one of the tuning knob was missing!

While sitting at the back of the car, I had to hold on to the guitar. That’s when my first experience with music begins. I played on the strings and noticed when I press down on the frets, it produces some kind of note. As I press the lower or higher note, I noticed I can make a melody! So I played ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’ on a single string. From then onwards I learned the guitar by buying the small book that shows you guitar chords. (I really need another copy since I am still terrible at chord names).

I have ‘written’ some songs since then. I made my own demos in Kunak, Sabah using toy keyboards and a Sony Mini Compo. It was terrible of course. Things have improved a little since then. In fact I’m learning new things almost everyday. This site that promotes unsigned bands for instance called unsigned.com, is a place for any unsigned bands or artists to promote their work. There are many other sites for the same job but this one is unique in it’s own way. Browsing their site, there are a few independent bands that was really good. I listened to 1 One Day Remains which is a band from South Africa and you gotta check out Amber Shalene man.
