Food for Thought

Life as it goes by whether it'd be through the cool sounds of jazz, or through the sole filmmaker that captures life at every moment. I'm living life by working hard and playing harder. I aspire to make others smile and live happier lives. -21 Years Young -Long Beach Poly Class of 2010 -Fullerton College Class of 2013 AA Degree in Music -CSULB Class of 2016 Music Ed & Jazz Studies Degrees in Progress -Inspiring Musician -Aspiring Filmmaker -Proud Cast Member of the Happiest Place on Earth :) facebook.com/ejvaleros twitter.com/ejvaleros youtube.com/ejvalerosmusic skype: ejvaleros instagram: ejvaleros

A week ago I finally treated myself to a new game on my Nintendo Switch called Super Mario Odyssey, and so far the game is very fun to play on my down time. During my play through, I came across this really catchy tune where your mission is to recruit musicians throughout New Donk City for an in-game festival, and this is the resulting tune when you recruit every musician in the city. Very catchy melody and rhythm, and my next goal is to create lyrics for this tune for an @experiment6band version! . . . #ejvalerosmusic #supermario #supermarioodyssey #newdonkcity #newdonkcityband #ewi #electronicwindinstrument #videogame #nintendo #nintendoswitch #nintendomusic #videogamemusic (at Buena Park, California)

My first conducting gig where I conducted a choir. Definitely need to revisit conducting basics after doing this gig, but it was fun rehearsing a choir though. . . . #ejvalerosmusic #ejconducts #conductor #choirconductor #churchchoir #tagalog #filipino #filipinomusician #musicalconductor (at Buena Park, California)

Experimented with @disney’s MaxPass yesterday with some of the members of @experiment6band and it’s a pretty worthwhile investment for ease of planning and goofy photos! T’was a great non-music hang with the band mates and @princess.selfish first trip to Disneyland ever in her life. . . . #disney #disneyland #maxpass #experiment6 #experiment6band #spacemountain #ridephoto (at Hyperspace Mountain)

So here’s a clip of me playing the Prayer with @jessicaesanchez. This was a fun gig and a masterclass in learning how to play with a top notch vocalist, with some mishaps along the way. Here’s to hopefully jamming with her again in the future! Also I need a new wireless microphone set up. Any recommendations? . . . #ejvalerosmusic #jessicasanchez #jessicaesanchez #theprayer #tenorsax #saxophone #singerandsax #filipinomusician #filipinosinger #santamariaband (at ENVision Center)
