Zone Ford

Story

I am going to provide two introduction paragraphs that wrap up who I am and what my intentions are as a musician (all of which will be done in a nutshell). My stage name is Zone Ford and I am a rap artist who had a strong interest in the theme of music for as long as I could personally remember. Over the years prior to my music career, I wrote songs throughout my adolescence and my early adulthood through various means. Many songs were handwritten on sheets of paper over many years in the decade of the two thousands and the decade of the two thousand and tens. Plus, I was also typing up my song structures in the "Reminders" application of my iPod for some years in the decade of the two thousand and tens. During that period of time, I recorded songs through various applications which were not a part of my music career but rather, they were just for fun. The applications that are in question included "Microsoft Movie Maker", "GarageBand", "Music Maker Jam" and "4Beats" (just to name a few programs). I recreationally made songs through previously listed applications as well as other unlisted programs during the decade of the two thousand and tens. I officially started my music career in the year of two thousand and twenty when I caught wind of "FL Studio" (which is short for "Fruity Loops Studio”). The songs that I worked on throughout my life are on are based on topics that are to do with our current affairs as well as my personal experiences. Making my own music is perhaps the biggest way in which I can successfully vent what it is that is troubling me personally and improve as a person. In addition to it, being in the music industry helps me out when it comes to facing my own personal demons and to work on becoming a better person. To me personally, this such subject gives me a sense of focus and it is possible that this such topic gives me the most amount of meaning in my life. Whether song writing and song recording together comes off as recreational or professional, I use music as a way to better myself as a person. Beyond writing, recording and producing my music for personal benefits, my music is also made in an attempt to make the world a better place. While I am striving to become a better person, I am doing the best that I personally could in order to improve the world in which we make a living in. I do so through the means of bringing attention to the problems that we face around the world as well as ways in which we can improve as a whole. In order to sum up what I had said through these introduction paragraphs, I have had a strong interest in the theme of music for my whole entire life. Furthermore, as I create my songs, I aim for improvements one way or another (whether it be self improvement or worldwide improvement).
