Big Joe

My name is Joseph Lyneill Bridgers, born May 21, 1984 in Mount Vernon, New York. I moved to Sacramento, CA in 1989. I am the youngest of two children born to Janice and Walter Bridgers (mom and pop duke). I started doing music at a young age, when my mom bought my brother a keyboard. I started mimicing my brother until, I learned how to play the songs he was playing. from there I learned how to mimic songs off the radio and the old blue songs my dad would sing. Eventually, I figured out my own sounds and made my own cords. The christmas later my parents bought me an electric guitar, I never understood the language of music, I just knew that different fruts made different music similar to the piano keys. Thats when I dubbed myself the one string king cause, thats the only way the different strings made sense to me. It wasn’t until seventh grade when, i got into a band and learned how to play the trombone that i actually started to understand sheet music. Even then i relied on my ears more then my knowledge of the notes. Thats when i first understood how different instruments were incorporated into one song. The first time i ever used studio equipment to make a beat was when my brother took me with him to a friends house who was into music. His friends were making music, rapping, and playing the drums on a drum pad. My brother told them that i could play the keys. My brother’s friend set it up so that it would record what i played and loop itself. I played a couple of cord and keys that i came up with, my brother’s friend s were ecstatic telling me i was good at it. They said making beats was something that i should persue because, i had a good ear for it. I didn’t have any studio equipment except for the keyboard my mom gave my brother so, i recorded the beats on a cassette tape using a boombox, old headphones as a mic, and the factory loops on the keyboard while playing my own melodies. It wasn’t until my junior year in high school that i got a computer and my first beat making program Magix. In 2002 i graduated high school and went to Consumnes River College and took a midi (musical instrument digital interface) class. I learned the ins and outs of desk top audio. I also took singing classes and music theory. That first year in midi class i was awarded a $100.00 scolarship for doing the best on my final music project. From that day music has been my main focal point in life. After having so many beats stored away i decided to try rapping. Ever since then i been trying to make a name for myself using my zodiac sign (gemini- the twins)as a representation of myself, making one of the twins the rapper (big joe) and the other twin the singer (ojb- the young cat with the old soul derived from the old school music my dad would listen to and had us singing). I used not being able to afford the finer things in life as my modo and record label S.O.B.B. (Sick Of Being Broke). All in all i do music because i love it and i believe it to be a way to make a better life for my family. So if you need beats, hooks, or a dope 16 holla S.O.B.B
