I had a session with Agerman, my rap music trainer, in downtown San Francisco. It was a four-hour session. I was practicing for my CD Release Party. Agerman has 20 years experience rapping and he is well known in the San Francisco bay area. Previously he was a member of the rap group, “Three Times Crazy.”
In the beginning I learned the breathing technique and how we would perform on the stage. Positive Rap music is all about bringing possibilities and potential to the listener. Also I learned when you perform that you start at the left side of the stage, then the middle, then move to the right and stay connected with your fans at all times. Your body gestures are very important along with eye contact to keep your fans motivated. I was trying to copy him but I was not born a Rapper—he was!
For those four hours I needed to drink six bottles of water, 2 Coca Colas because so much energy was required and I had to keep it up. Because the audience is already hyped up before you go on stage, you need to be high energy ready when you enter the stage.
You have to be the most confident person in the world. You have to believe what you say as a Rapper. You must have a passion for your topic.
I chose rap because it was the best way to communicate to my fans. It’s fun, energetic and passionate. Enjoy the lyrics below to my song, “If Jinsoo Can Do It, You Can Do It Too!” And you really can be all that you want to be—it all starts with you.
Remember...You Are a Super Hero!
