Jaxsn's Cover Letter
(http://www.jaxsn.com)

No matter how much work you do in the entertainment business, you are only good as your last job.
You can be the most famous and richest entertainer and you still have to market yourself to keep the
bills paid to allow you to do what you do as an artist.

So being on a smaller level in this entertainment business, I must also continue to market myself,
to provide my new creative talent to the public.

 My Style On My Bass Guitar

I play bass guitar for
THE MUSIC LOVER.

 From innovative tappin,
slappin, poppin, using all
fingers,
to just ole fashioned pluckin
holding down the grove,
MY BASS is my choice of
instrument to touch someone's
soul with my notes.
 me and my bass are one when
we are in the grove.

My Skill & Style Composing & Producing Music

From Dance Music, Country, Gospel, Film Scoring, Ballads, Remixes, Island Music, Jazz, Smooth Jazz, Bass Guitar Instrumentals, and beyond
I use my tools to create original pieces of music to satisfy the listener.
I like to make them think when my music is listened to
the second time.
I use the same energy when writing lyrics,
I don't just want to put words with music
I want to put art, poetry, a meaningful story to music so if one is without the other, it will still sound great on its own.

 Positive Values

I feel I need to add, that
although I am not perfect,
 I am a Christian pressing to
model myself with the values
 taught by Christ in the Bible.

 Many churches will teach
rules to keep you in line.
 I've been there & done that
(which helped me stay
focused on my positive values)
Now I am on a different level,
letting my light shine
