We began honing our talents...Ricky was developing his production prowess and I was busy fine-tuning my phonetical flow, ya dig? Seriously though, these were the days that counted. We used each other to constantly motivate to the next step, whatever that step was at the time. I would have an idea for a hook, and Ricky would realize that he had to step up with the right beat, then I would have to really step up with the verses just to be able to do the beat justice. I would come back with the verses and it would be so hot that rick would have to beef up the beat just to match...etc. We recorded several small projects, each owning its own unique moment in time but nothing really worth mentioning. We weren't shy about letting people hear where we were at, but we just weren't on the level yet. Then came the album: JYAN Music
Now came the performance. We assembled a band of the most talented musicians we knew at the time and began playing for the people...
We kept playing, and more and more people started coming.
Producing music was fun, recording it was rewarding, but my true love was the stage. I've spent my whole life training to be an entertainer and I never knew it.
It came natural to us...so we kept doing it.
...And the people loved it because we loved it, and that's all it ever really takes.
