Ryan Leslie

I have recently become a major fan of Ryan Leslie...all i can say is wow! This man is both musically talented and musically gifted...and to say he is self-taught...well that deserves another wow! I mean he takes being able to play 'real' musical instruments to a whole other level...he has really inspired me to take my own creativity to another level and learn how to play instruments myself...my chosen weapons...the drums...whoa yea boy...can't wait to get them home and get my own back on my flippin' next door neighbour...haha...who will have the last laugh then? The other is the piano...I've always wanted to learn...i had the chance to pursue it in school but it was too expensive oh how i wish i had done it...

Anyhoo, back to the man of the moment... Ryan Leslie...
His debut album has been put on repeat...swear down...songs I'm loving are 'Quicksand'... which is kinda upbeat ' Valentine' of course... 'How It Was Supposed To Be' i watched his short movie and fell in love with it...this was also the song that inspired me to want to play the drums...'Irina' and my all time fav...'Gibberish' -I loved this song from the moment i first heard it...OMG it is so beautiful, OK i don't actually know what he is saying...but what i envision it to be...is...boi words can't even express...i even have my own video concept for this song...every time i hear it i can see it visually.
