And so it began - the year: 2003. After being given the recording program Acid and some Acid loops CD's from his mentor, R. Pizano, also known as R Dot, began his production career. One beat led to another, and then another. Soon he was making drum patterns on all objects around him while humming melodies. As a result, R. got his hands on a drum machine to start moving his ideas into realities. Little did he know that this drum machine would be the basis of his first produced track "Perseus" performed by P-Dawgg and Tha Mitch Masta on June 5th 2004. From there R Dot progressed his music, moving from loop based compositions to his own original compositions once he received a keyboard for his 16th birthday. Collaborating with others such as Will Watje and B. LaCara (guitarists), the producer was able to gain a knowledge and experiment with different types of genres. Although sticking mainly to Hip Hop & R&B, R. Pizano has made tracks of all sorts, which include techno/trance, Rock, and acoustic. In 2006, R Dot took his career a step forward and began to record/mix other people's tracks such as: Poetic Justice, L. J. Sharma, S. Lim, Rae Reilly, Matthew Trotter, and Jeff Corrado.
Currently, R Dot has graduated from High School, and is now in College studying the Music Industry. This blog will be his story from this point forward on his struggle to make it into the industry. Occasionally you will get a glimpse of his early stages (such as the video below - at the end of his HS career), his thoughts on the industry, and opinions on current events. R Dot hopes that if you experience his journey of reaching his dreams, that you yourself will be inspired to give it your all and achieve your life long aspirations as well. Without further a due, here is a glimpse as to who R Dot is, and a discography of some of his earlier recordings. And now it begins.
