First What Am I Review!

Forgot to post this, happened last week! X]

"Nelson Scott is an acidic lyricist, as good as indie alternative punk can get, and his raw on/over-the-edge singing style, fits the genre perfectly. This kind of music brings risk right back into the rock and roll equation, and should inspire countless of other kids to pick up some instruments, play their own music and shout their messages to the world."

What Am I? - Post Release

What Am I, where to begin! First off I need to say, this is my proudest work yet. I am perfectly satisfied with how the album has turned out, and it's been close to two weeks. That said, this release has been one of the most negative experiences of my life. Surrounding a bunch of personal problems and other MW related pressures, What Am I's release was catastrophic. Not only was the album not up on stores, it's still not up at the time of this post (Don't worry, I will update when it is). In addition to the troubles with the distribution side of things, nobody gave a shit about the album. It sounds harsh, but seriously, nobody cared. Nobody listened, and I barely got any feedback. That stings. I've said it once and i'll say it again, I make music for me. Not anybody else but me. However, when I spend my cold cash and a lot of my time to get it out there, I'd like people to at least acknowledge that it exists. It really bites and makes me question if I ever want to do another release after this. That's still up in the air as of this post. I am going to continue with a couple more songs for a little while, but who knows, after that I just might decide to hang up the mic. Sometimes you just have to move on. As for the singles, things are still shaky on that side. I do have confirmed titles (There has been talk on Facebook of release dates but nothing is confirmed)! The songs are titled: YOU SAY I'M BAD, REWIND, and BY FIRE. They will be out eventually, how soon I cannot say. That's all I really have to say about that. Peace.

*UPDATE: All singles are unofficial for now

What Am I? Album Overview

Here we go! My official and complete overview of What Am I! Let's get started...

     What Am I was supposed to be an album all about me. It was an edgy personal journey that exposed myself and didn't leave room for any bullshit. Halfway through, I realized that I felt rather selfish writing it! So, I re-positioned the lens and (thankfully) still kept it in focus! It wasn't just about me anymore. What Am I is about the people in our world; people like me and people not like me. It's about my views and feelings in a changing world. It's serious, funny, and hopeful all at the same time. I cover subjects ranging all the way from appearance pressures to bullying; problems in our society as well as problems within myself. WAI is a personal journey. Every song gets closer and closer to me as a person. You can notice in the songs that the style and tone changes as you progress through the album. It starts out with a release of all this penned up energy I have with "Make You Giggle". It's lighthearted and humorous as the tone blends into "Enter Me". "Broken" is our first sign of what's to come, showing my hidden feelings of being worn and tired out right now (even as I still mask it with an upbeat song). Now I'm not going to go over every song (that comes later) but we quickly move into more somber songs before sending off the album in the best way possible. I'm really proud of this ultimate mash up of my personality, musical styles, and tones. What Am I was cut down to be more focused and refined and features samples of pop, jazz/blues, and alternative music. I hope you guys enjoy it. It's my proudest work yet and it's very dear to my heart. It's more than music, it's a part of me.

What Am I Release Date!

What Am I will come out August 31st, 2012. Oh, and here's a trailer! That is all! :)

What Am I: Status Update

Hey guys! How have you been? I've been doing fine! If you haven't noticed, I've taken a break from being MW for a while. Just like after I released Enter Me, the release of Asshole Anthem took a lot of energy out of me. A lot of people don't really realize how much effort goes into making these songs, let alone promoting them with those music videos. It's a lot of work, and I hate to admit it but sometimes I can't handle it. So, I took a break. Well, now I'm back (again)! Coming back from my absence, there are some things I have to address. This blog post will do just that and maybe more.

-What is the status of What Am I?
-What Am I is still on schedule for a 2012 summer release. That being said, it has become a very tight schedule. I have outlined a schedule of what I have to do right now to get that summer release. I fully plan on following through on it, but some sacrifices have to be made. The song list will get cut down. I know fewer tracks sucks, but I just don't have the time. It also opens up more possibilities in the future for me to explore as I will be able to use left over material for a release down the road. Coming back around, it will be out this summer and it will be awesome.

-How about a release date?!
-I do have a planned release date! It will be revealed along with a new separate song in July. Keep in mind it will be pretty late in the summer due to the release process.

-What about that new music video!?
-Yes, I know it was supposed to come out this month! It has been delayed, but for a good reason. I don't want it to be overlooked and I also want it to really push the album. I have big plans for the last video. It will come out within a week of the album's release.

-What's after What Am I?
-I really can't answer this at this point. I can say that this won't be my last outing. I will be back. How long will the next release be from What Am I? I can not say. I need to focus on other projects after What Am I, but I will always be MW. I will always be writing and making music. It's just a part of what I am! :)

New Cover

Yeah, so I decided to change the cover of What Am I. It's a little picture I took a while back. People seem to really like it. It makes me look... cooler?

What Am I: A Sneak Peak

I look in the mirror and what do I see,

My worst enemy staring back at me, 

Ahhhhhhhh what am I,

Ahhhhhhhh what am I...

These are the opening lines to "What Am I", a track on my new album that shares the same name. What Am I is the biggest, most experimental album I have ever worked on. As of this posting, I am actively writing and recording it. It's a constantly evolving project. The amount of genres I'm covering still surprises me. I'm not going to give anything away, but the next single I drop will give you an idea of the range of this thing. I simply can't stop writing songs for it either. I keep thinking of great lines I simply can't waste. It's a shame just thinking that not all of these songs will be able to fit. The songs are all vastly different from each other, but they all share one thing, they're all about me. This album is extremely personal. These songs are my stories. This is my life. I know how experimental this thing is going to be, and I can see where people might get worried. What started as a simple EP has evolved into a ridiculously ambitious project. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Until next time!
