Hello Welcome to
The Musicians Makeover Project
My Childhood years as a Musician
Hello my name is Ricardo Perez, and im a musician myself, I play the piano, I play the Saxophone, the Harmonica, and I play Drums, since I was a little boy I knew I was born a musician and always dreamed of dedicating myself to the arts, I would lay down on the radio for hours and hours listening to Music on the radio, I would listen to my grandpas collection of classical music like Beethoven, Mozart, Franz List, and all my aunts collection that included all the Beatles Collection, the Old Boston records, Credence, the old Rod Stewart, I had the ELO records and many others..i would play them over and over ..
My first Musical Instrument
I remember the first day, when my father brought me that harmonica, I would play and play it until my lips turned sore, I would also use my marble canister as a tambourine, I was only 9 years old, as a child I would lay down on my mothers bed and I would listen to her piano melodies until I fell asleep.
On my teen days I would compose symphonies and sonatas on my head while I slept,
such beautiful compositions that passed thru my mind, and I would think, if I only had money to buy all that expensive equipment necessary for recording if I only could afford a music teacher, so I could write what was on my head, but the sonatas and the concerts passed by,. I started working just to survive and playing the piano became a luxury, and that dream I had as a child …vanished

Introduction
You hear that tune on the radio, that beautifully melody,with those
inspiring  lyrics and you think, such  beautifull composition could
only have come from a trully gifted musician, some songs make us wanna dance, some songs make us reflect, and some messages give us hope ,inspiration and a reason to live in this world where all we hear is war and destruction, but many musicians do not live the life of a few, for many reasons.

Hard facts
 the reality is quite diferent for most musicians, many gifted artists
peddle on the streets for their day living, many end up homeless with
nowhere to go,  the chances of becoming a  recognized musician are
quite slim.,
( I personally know several incredibly talented musicians living in
the back of their vans, I know several professional blues players who
are driving beat up old cars and many are living with their moms.,
many musicians lose hope to become general laborers or end up digging
holes for the rest of their lives, and that talent that lost dream
becomes a burden and source of frustration for many

The musicians main problem
As you may be aware, the radio nowadays will not play anything that is half professional, it doesn’t matter if you have a masterpiece, if it
don’t sound right it will not be played, and the public as well has
become more demanding as they expect their $1000 dollar sound system to sound right.

The Cost of Recording
The cost of recording a debut album could run several thousand
dollars, let alone the music video that is an impossible dream for
many, In these days, a professional album may run over $4000, an
indispensable music video could reach $4000 as well, another reason why the big producers end up owning the artist rights for many years, because the musician has nowhere to go, other than to the big producers who end up with most of the profit.
