https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK9h6Z4R87w Above is my professional vocal cover of Welcome. Its my introduction to this amazing community. First off, I want to share a little bit about me. Linkin Park is the reason I am into Music. I love producing my original beats and instrumentals and I am currently writing my first EP to hopefully come out later next year. I am a rap vocalist and writer. Mike Shinoda is my greatest hip hop influence and you will hear that in my original music one day. I have followed this community without being an actual member since the ATS album cycle. It's because of this community, I got to experience three amazing and fun album cycles. I have been a fan since Meteora came out. I was only 7 years old when I first got into Linkin Park and ever since, they have been my Top favorite band. I am 19 now, Born in Sanford FL, 1996. I hope to become successful and change lives with my music one day.
As I mentioned in your Welcome Cover post, you are killing it! I'd be absolutely thrilled to work with you in the future! Welcome to the LPA community!
As of right now I dont have anything finished. I have a SoundCloud with old instrumentals I made a few years ago, all unfinished demos I decided to just throw out there. Feel free to check it out! Just look up my name exactly as shown here to find them!
Can't hear your cover right now as I'm at a workplace that blocks SoundCloud/YouTube, but based off of the reviews I've seen in this thread I'm very excited to hear it. Your friend Amanda, actually wrote me on FB to share me the link earlier but I haven't had a chance to listen. I'll definitely do so later today! Meanwhile it's good to have you. Welcome aboard! I think it's kind of awesome to see the newer and younger generation of LP fans start to inhabit these forums. I was 17 when Meteora came out, and now here you are just a little bit older than that...signing up to our boards. Just awesome to see the younger generation coming in now, thus ensuring that both the LPA and LP stay relevant for a new generation .
Hate to break it to you, but we kind of aren't kids anymore haha. We're not 'old' but we're also not young adults anymore. I'm going to be 30 next year....30. I was like 16 when this site opened.
Arent we all the little angsty kids who love it to listen to Meteora? Seriously, somewhere deep inside everyone is a kid But thats offtopic right now...
Thank you everyone for all the positive reviews and feedback, it's an honor to hear from you Derek. I'm still processing all of this, because I've been reading news and threads off this website since 2010 and here I am now getting to talk to all of you and share my talent. I hope that Mike Shinoda gets to hear my cover because I've tagged him on twitter and retweeted it with a couple others in hopes too get his attention. Nothing would be more of a dream come true then to get Mike himself to see how much he's influenced me
I shared your video with our followers. Mike should definitely see it now. It was simply too good to be kept to these forums. Much like Broman, I would also like to work with you soon and collaborate.
