1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I started playing drums in high school at age fourteen. Like most kids my age around then, I was into progressive rock. Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Yes. They rocked my world. A few short years later though, my musical life changed. While studying music in college I discovered Charlie Parker, Milt Jackson, Sonny Stitt, and John Coltrane. Milt Jackson spoke to me in such a profound way that it left me no choice but to take up vibraphone.
These great players, along with drummers like Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach, Art Blakey, and Elvin Jones changed not only the way I thought about drumming, but also music - and by extension, life - as a whole. I realized life was meant to be a creative endeavor. The idea of improvising based on a loose set of guidelines and rules permeated into my psyche even when I wasn't holding a pair of drumsticks or mallets. But if I am going to be perfectly truthful, I have to hold Henry Miller and Woody Allen equally responsible for shaping the way I view and experience the world around me.
2. What training have you had?
I am currently an Apple certified Logic Pro. Young and cocky, and armed with only a partial University degree, I dropped out of school and began playing steady commercial hotel engagements and jazz gigs when I could. This went on for many years until I decided it was time to complete my degree - which I ultimately did with a major in Political Science and a minor in music.
It was at this point that I formed my current band Nightshift. We are going in to our twenty third year now - playing commercial one nighters like weddings, corporate events, etc. Don't turn your nose up at it though - it has allowed me a wonderful quality of life. It gave me the freedom to go back to school and complete a post graduate degree in Communications Studies - all the while supporting myself by playing weddings.
3. When did you get into recording?
It was in this graduate program - in the early nineties - that I found myself drawn to the fledgling emerging universe of hard disc recording and midi sequencing. Based on nothing more than the recommendation of one of my band mates who had an old Atari, I jumped in head first and bought a Mac LC ll, along with a version 1.1 of what was then Notator Logic. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But, in hindsight, it was a decision of epic importance in my life - shaping my future as much as the music of Milt Jackson and Charlie Parker did fifteen years prior.
I opened up my own commercial home studio in 1998 and began doing a variety of projects, working on radio jingles, artist CD projects, and whatever came my way. A couple of years later a colleague called me up - desperate. He was working at a post production house and one of the editors had just quit. They were doing audio post for a weekly TV series and needed a Pro Tools editor - and fast! And so, once again, I jumped in head first into what would ultimately open up my world even more - the world of Pro Tools.
4. People you have worked with/for?
Focusing on Logic, I built up a small but loyal client base and my phone kept ringing for Logic tech support and instruction. Film composers and studio owners all over the city were calling me. Even the music stores were giving out my phone number at this point! This kind of stuff becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. The more of it you do, the more calls you get to keep doing it. At least that's the way it should be!
As my Logic chops kept growing, I was hired by an old buddy of mine, Len Sasso, who was then an associate editor at Electronic Musician magazine, and began writing some columns for them. I had a blast doing them - and really learned to focus and express my thoughts in a concise and clear manner. This lead to a collaboration with LA based composer Terry Michael Huud on the 2006 film called Civic Duty - which was certainly one of the highlights of my professional life as a composer.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
I wake up every day excited to boot up, and create. Whether it's instructional videos, creating music, working with a studio client, performing with my band, or teaching at the schools - my days are filled with what I love doing. Enriched by the stimulation and creative freedom this modern music making software brings to my life. I bring that excitement and passion to each and every training product I create. My years of experience both using and teaching these programs has taught me the best way to make the user comfortable with these complex programs.

'When he came, in the game, he made his own lane
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name'
-- Mr. West
I'm a white guy so I'm not allowed to talk about race.
At least that's what they tell me.
Don't talk about it because it's a zero-sum game -- and you'll lose. White guys get all the breaks, and as such we can't contribute to the discourse.
But I believe we're on the precipice of a post-race world, and many of us took the leap long ago. We have mixed-race families, diverse startups and we -- gasp! -- select our music based on how it sounds, not the ethnicity of the performer.
We don't have hatred in our hearts for people, except maybe for inefficient people. Oh yeah, and for the people who build bad products -- we have a lot of hate for them!
Sadly, we live in a world where race still is an issue because some folks haven't made the leap. Those folks are old and dying in many, perhaps most, cases.
Racism exists. Racists exists.
No argument there. But boy do these people look stupider and stupider. I mean, the "God Hates Fags" church is so insanely stupid that they've become a staple in comedy. We don't see them as dangerous as much as dopey. Like, maybe they're mentally challenged people. They're just sad.
However, the tech and tech media world are meritocracies. To fall back to race as the reason why people don't break out in our wonderful oasis of openness is to do a massive injustice to what we've fought so hard to create.
It flies in the face of our core beliefs: 1. anyone can do it, 2. innovation can come from anywhere and 3. product rules.
And anyone can do it.
And "anyone" keeps doing it.
This idea that Silicon Valley is in some way a closed, secret society is laughable. Ninety percent of the people in Silicon Valley were not born there -- they moved there. The industry is driven by investment and investment is driven by metrics, not where you went to school.
In fact, people are leaving their Harvard MBAs off their resumes because they don't want to seem outside of the classic archetype: outsiders who dropped out and are uncontrollable rebels.
Now, there's some truth to me not being able to speak about race. I haven't experienced racism myself, except when standing next to my wife (who is Asian). I had no idea people were as racist toward Asians as they are -- but they are. That makes me sad for my mixed-race daughter, who looks 97% Korean and 3% Irish -- let alone Greek or Swedish (sorry, Dad).
But she's going to live in the post-race world we're shifting to. Her kids will probably share six or seven heritages -- enough so that no one will matter. And that's awesome.
Now, most of the folks on this email list were born in the 1st world (but not all -- and I do know that because you always reply). About 95%+ of the folks on this email list were blessed with a 1st-world education. We all started on 2nd or 3rd base compared to folks in rural India, China or the tribal areas of the Middle East.
Do any of us in the 1st world get to talk about inequality? If I can't talk about race because I'm white, it would follow that you don't get to talk about inequality because you were born in the top 20% of people on the planet.
Now that we've established that we can all contribute to the dialogue, let's move on.
Besides, I like to talk about hard subjects, so let's really talk about it.
This all started because of a well-reasoned and written blog post lamenting a race issue in the tech blogging community.
Jamellle, who I don't think I've ever met or read before, meditates on race and the "white male" problem at blogs like the Verge and The Next Web.
His position counters everything I've experienced in my career -- and I'm one of Engadget's parents (the other one is Latino -- but that doesn't matter, right?).
Anyone can break into tech blogging. Anyone.
First, I broke into journalism by starting a photocopied zine, which I wrote on nights and weekends while working during the day. It took me years of hustling in my spare time to do it and my timing was perfect -- I started a magazine about the internet in 1995.
Two of my most successful writers are now high-profile bloggers: Xeni Jardin and Rafat Ali. The first a woman, the second with much darker skin than mine (brown, but not black for those obsessed with the exact tone -- really?). Both are exceptional talents who started their careers with -- not for -- me. I got lucky enough to recruit two folks smarter than me, the theme of my career I now realize (hire up!).
We kicked ass together and it had nothing to do with our gender or race. We just all busted our asses and kicked a lot of ass. Xeni went on to do BoingBoing and Rafat did PaidContent and now Skift (which I'm investing in).
Second, I started a blog network in 2003. Again, I got lucky with my timing.
We hired 500 bloggers and not *once* did we look at their gender, race, sexual orientation or color. We had no budget so we looked for folks who could write with passion and for a pittance: $2 a blog post. Everyone was a freelancer working from home -- and we didn't know where their homes were until we sent them a check.
Folks thought we were idiots for paying for blog posts at the time, since no one was getting paid. The rate quickly went from $2 a post to $15 and we wound up selling that company for a lot of money in under two years.
If you want to break into writing, you don't need rich parents to get you a free internship at WIRED. That's a 1989 thing -- '94 max.
I know because when I came into the game I used to be very resentful of those rich kids. They lived in Manhattan and went on long vacations to Europe while I took the R train in and out of the
city in August. It was hot as hell, and I spent my time writing in journals in between dragging copies of my 'zine about the internet to startup companies like DoubleClick and Razorfish. My luggage cart was always breaking and I was a bit of laughing stock to some I'm sure: "What CEO delivers his own magazines?" they must have thought. Answer? The one who is going to rank you 97 in the Silicon Alley 100, and who you're going to be to take to a Knicks game and Nobu in another six months. Boom.
Those internships are long over. If you want to blog for Gawker or Engadget or TechCrunch the best way to do it is:
a) post highly intelligent comments -- not about yourself -- on those blogs 2-5x a day for three years.
b) start your own blog and write one blog post a day about one subject for three years -- not about yourself, about the topic. Don't ever talk about yourself.
c) go to any party, meetup or SIG you can find
You do those three things you will break in. Two hours a day for three years.
Anyone who does that is going to not only get a job but might actually build a sustainable business or have a bidding war over them.
You can sit there and come up with all the people stopping you, or you can decide to be unstoppable.
You can sit there and look backwards at the racist old-world, or you can look forward and create the new post-race world.
The fact is that the tech industry and tech media should be extremely proud of what we've accomplished. We're the most open meritocracy I've ever seen in industry.
We accept anyone based on their performance.
In fact, the venture capitalists and angel investors I know would blow off their mother's 70th birthday party in order to close a deal with a founder of a startup with a hockey-stick growth curve -- regardless of their age, gender, color or sexual preference..
All you need to make it in this world is hustle. You need to put in the 10,000 hours.
Don't let anyone tell you that some secret cabal of rich, old white guys on some secret golf course is trying to stop you.
I mean, there are secret packs of rich, white guys on golf courses making fun of and trying to hold disadvantaged people back. They're just not in the tech industry, and they're less and less relevant today--and they can't stop you!
Nothing can stop you if you put in your 10,000 hours building your craft.
It's all about skills.
Skills = power.
On that measure, I think JB's piece is a success. I didn't know your race, just your excellent writing ability, when I got engaged. Now that I know you're black you know what difference it makes?
You're followed and subscribed to based on your skills.
best @jason
PS - Even if the world isn't, the LAUNCH Festival is a pure meritocracy! If you know of any stealth or non-stealth companies trying to make it in the world, let me know. If they are minorities, women or from outside the United States even better -- as we run a diverse show by design! In fact, a female founder won best 2.0 last year.
Other updates:
1. The LAUNCH Festival has so many amazing partners and supporters that we're able to give scholarships to builders and broke founders -- of any race, gender, etc.
2. The greatest hackathon ever held, The LAUNCH Hackathon, has 100+ teams already formed. That's 300 developers/designers of 400 signed up. There is a $50k angel investment prize from myself and @dharmesh. I'm looking for another VC or angel to put up $25k-$50k and get the prize money to $100k. That would be insane, huh? Talk about an open opportunity!!!
3. We should do a panel on race and Silicon Valley... who should be on it?
4. Great news episode of This Week in Startups with Mightybell's Gina Bianchini & Little Bird's Marshall Kirkpatrick, as well as my interview with David Cohen of TechStars.
5. Follow me if so inclined: @jason and YouTube.
6. Thanks to the amazing new partners of the event!

James Blake
It all started, says James Blake, with Joni Mitchell.
His favorite singer and songwriter came to see him at the Troubadour in Los Angeles two years ago and hung around afterwards to talk.
"She's an oracle," smiles James. "I learned a lot just from meeting her."
What they talked about most was the idea of permanence—how to survive and thrive as an artist. On the flight back to London James wrote "Overgrown", the gently immense song which lends its name to his highly anticipated second album. It's about the things that last encapsulated in the lyric, "I don't want to be a star but a stone on the shore, a lone doorframe in a war." "I think it's the best thing I've ever written, and it's the strongest message on the album," says James. "Joni embodies the things I'm talking about. She was the spark that led to that song." Musically broad and emotionally deep, Overgrown as big as an advance on James's eponymous 2011 debut. The growth is similar to the evolution that album evinced from the mercurial dubstep of his early EPs. It also reflects how much the 24-year-old Londoner's life has changed in the past two years. His debut sold over 400,000 copies — quite a feat for a record so uncompromisingly introspective and experimental. It also picked up Mercury, BRIT and Ivor Novello nominations, sent him around the world on tour, and brought him into contact with a wide array of fans and collaborators that includes not only Mitchell but Jay-Z, Kanye West, Bon Iver, Björk, Drake, Brian Eno, and The RZA.
Most importantly, touring the debut led him to meet his girlfriend, whose presence (and sometimes absence: she lives in Los Angeles) gives Overgrown its considerable emotional weight.
"This past year has been intense," says James. "In a time where otherwise you could feel the ground was moving too fast to remain normal or happy, she's been there"
Their transatlantic relationship informs songs, such as the extraordinary electronic soul of the single "Retrograde", which evoke both intimacy and distance. "The album is filled with the feeling of being in love for the first time and working out what that actually means," he says. "All these things become part of your music."
Early on in the process, his father, the musician James Litherland, told him he needed to concentrate on his songwriting because his two best-known songs were other people's, notably Feist's "Limit to Your Love" and Litherland's own "Where to Turn", rewritten as The Wilhelm Scream.
"He said songs are what people remember and you need to write some," James adds. "I really worked at it."
The songwriting was also shaped by playing dozens of shows with his childhood friends, guitarist Rob McAndrews and percussionist Ben Assister. He realized that some of the avant-garde tracks that made perfect sense in his bedroom didn't always translate to audiences. "Instinctively, I've gravitated towards wanting to make music that people will really remember and love," he says. "It's an emotional impact I'm looking for."
His singing, heavily treated on his earlier work, also privileges clarity and immediacy like never before. Many of the songs came to life in airplanes or in hotel rooms before being completed at his home in North London. It was on tour that he befriended Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, with whom he later collaborated on the cryptic Auto-Tuned spiritual of Fall Creek Boys Choir. It appeared on 2011's transitional Enough Thunder EP, which also included his beautiful rendition of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You."
For most of Overgrown, James is still a one-man show, but he opened up to other people, including Brian Eno on the percussive soul mantra "Digital Lion". When James and Rob arrived at Eno's house, the veteran artist and producer played them his favourite gospel record, Peace Be Still by Reverend James Cleveland and the Angelic Choir. "It just happened to be my favorite song too. We obviously had something in common."
James was immersed in the first Wu-Tang Clan album when he wrote "Take a Fall For Me" in New York, so he asked the RZA to appear on it and the legendary MC/producer responded with a playfully anglophilic verse which makes reference to "fish and chips with vinegar, with a cold glass of stout".
Another encounter with hip-hop royalty was entirely unplanned. While visiting his girlfriend in LA, James was invited to Kanye West's studio. "He summons you like some sort of emperor," he laughs.
He found himself playing tracks from his 2011 EP "Love What Happened Here" to a crack team of hip hop producers and meeting Jay-Z, who approvingly told him, "You're a baaad man."
"Just to know that Kanye had played a tune off a Hessle EP to Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder puts things in perspective," says James. "It's freed me in some ways because I'm not compartmentalizing my music anymore. I could put out a track on [electronica label] Hessle Audio or I could send it to an MC. All the boundaries have gone."
The walls have certainly come down on Overgrown. From the jetlagged hip hop of "Take a Fall For Me" to hall-of-mirrors take on a late 90s R&B jam in "Life Round Here", James never has the same idea twice. He affirms, "I probably won't use a sound if it reminds me of another song and another time. That's gone. It's done now. Things should always progress."
This relentlessly forward-thinking approach is reflected in James's enduring love of dance music. He evem currently runs a club night at London's Plastic People called "1-800-Dinosaur". "I feel at home in clubs," admits James. "Dance music constantly mutates and evolves and never stays still."
James's newfound confidence and thirst for change has produced a second album that takes him to a new level of craft and feeling that his previous work only hinted at. "These last two years have really formed me," he concludes. "I have huge ambitions."
It all comes back to that conversation about permanence at the Troubadour. The message of Overgrown is clear. James Blake is here to stay.

KIEV, Ukraine — Mario Balotelli's two goals against Germany could well represent the best solo performance of the European Championship. One more goal in today's final against Spain and he will finish the tournament as its top scorer.
For a 21-year-old forward previously best known for his temperamental behavior, Euro 2012 has also been a personal breakthrough. And that hasn't gone unnoticed by the rest of Italy's squad, especially after he scored both goals in the 2-1 win over Germany in Thursday's semifinal match.
"Mario has done great," Italy captain Gianluigi Buffon said yesterday. "First of all, he's a player with an immense base of quality, which is a great starting point. Secondly he's become part of a group of great champions — and not only in just football terms — and thirdly because he's found a coach like ours, who has found more ways than one to get the best out of him.
"But most of the merit goes to him, because he wanted it and went after it."
Balotelli's improvement has been so rapid, it has been visible from one match to the next.
After opening the tournament with a frustrating night against Spain, then getting benched after another disappointing performance against Croatia, he came on as a substitute and scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the win over Ireland that concluded the group stage.
In the quarterfinals against England, Balotelli played all 120 minutes and then converted the opening penalty of the shootout win with a perfect spot kick.
Still, those performances were nothing compared to the way he dominated the match against Germany, first by muscling past Holger Badstuber to head in a pinpoint cross from Antonio Cassano with the authority of a veteran. He then followed up by blasting in a shot with such sheer power, no spectator could not have been left in awe.
"He's found an environment where he can measure himself against great champions — champions that have won and who have made big sacrifices to win," Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said.
"There comes a time when you have to have the courage to accept advice and responsibility. In football terms, we've been clear. After the Croatia match, we asked Mario to do certain things, to play as more of a center forward, and he's doing them with great diligence."
* Though Xavi Hernandez hasn't made a major impact at the Euro, Spain's playmaking midfielder knows he still has today's final against Italy to change that.
Xavi was named player of the tournament when Spain won Euro 2008, and the midfielder has been regarded as the driving force behind the 2010 World Cup winners' recent successes.
But Xavi admits he hasn't had the same impact in Poland and Ukraine, following a long club season in which he was bothered by a nagging calf injury. He was replaced in the semifinal penalty shootout victory over Portugal due to fatigue.
"I would have liked to have had more influence in more games but you can't, always," he said.

PlayBuzz Takes a Page (View) Out of BuzzFeed's Playbook
TEL AVIV—A tiny start-up founded by the son a former Israeli prime minister is climbing the online news pop charts by shamelessly riding the coat-tails of BuzzFeed.com, the online news phenomenon.
Two-year-old PlayBuzz.com, co-founded by Chief Executive Shaul Olmert and currently employing just 16 staff, already attracts more traffic than aol.com and upworthy.com, according to Quantcast, a widely followed audience measurement company.
It hit seventh place on Quantcast's most-read sites on mobile in early July, and it was the 29th most popular website in the U.S.
It's made those strides by modeling itself after the format made popular by BuzzFeed.com (No. 10 on Quantcast's top U.S. websites).
Targeted specifically at the U.S. market, PlayBuzz posts quizzes, questions meant to engage users with response, and the "listicles," that BuzzFeed pioneered. Some recent, popular posts: "Which Fictional High School Do You Belong In?" and "39 People Who Had One Job and Failed So Miserably it Hurts."
Unlike BuzzFeed, which creates most of its content in-house, PlayBuzz employs just two writers, relying on users and independent publishers—even other news organizations—to generate the rest. Such publishers will post their content on their own site, but can also allow it to be posted and shared on PlayBuzz. Mr. Olmert says about 80% of its content is created by these publishers, who use PlayBuzz to get their content out there—much like individuals and publishers use Google's YouTube to share video content by embedding links to it on other sites.
Mr. Olmert, a well-known tech entrepreneur in Israel and the third son of former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, has raised about $3.8 million in seed money, most of that--$3 million--from Israeli venture fund Carmel Ventures. The company is not yet profitable. They are now focusing on gaining as many users as possible for their platform.
He says his company isn't a BuzzFeed knock-off.
"BuzzFeed is a great website. We, on the other hand, are a network," says Mr. Olmert, 39. "Our strength is not in in-house editorial, but in empowering users, publishers and brands to create their content."
He says PlayBuzz employs just two content creators, and is hiring a third. BuzzFeed employs 170, according to a report on the state of journalism published in March by the Pew Research Center. BuzzFeed declined to comment for this article.
One of PlayBuzz's publisher partners is the Washington Examiner, a conservative online political newspaper. Ryan Teague Beckwith, the outlet's news editor, says quizzes help turn serious news into something more personal. "Our main challenge is to find ways to use these formats for substantive subjects," Mr. Beckwith says. The Washington Examiner uses PlayBuzz's ready-to-use formats for free. PlayBuzz benefits from the extra content and traffic.
"For us polls and quizzes are engagement enhancers," says Inbar Barak, senior vice president in charge of digital strategy and programming at New York-based Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, a media and merchandising public company founded by Martha Stewart. PlayBuzz's ready for use web formats get them higher engagement and higher page views, she adds.
