Jibril's Story

My passion is music.

Every since I was very young, I loved listening to music. My mother played rhythm and blues and soul music in the car and in the house. Friends and family also gave me instruments at a very early age to play around with. I enjoyed learning, informally, how to play the trumpet, the Congo drums, and the piano. My passion now lies in composing music and music production. I hope to perform my music someday.

Over the last year, I have become more serious about songwriting and making beats. However, I feel that there is a lot I need to learn about the music business, using different types of equipment (such as pro tools), as well as mixing and mastering music. I would also like to be in a space where I can collaborate with others who enjoy the art of music. Most importantly, Camp Jam allows for young people to learn from the pros. Camp Jam will help to build my confidence as an aspiring musician and songwriter.
