IT STARTED WITH AN INTRODUCTION

KALIEDASCARE starts this project with love for old school Hip Hop, Boom-Bap, and R&B. Unfortunately he didn't have any mentors or rivals starting out, and he was unaware of how to compose a song to bare minimum. Over the course of this project, he experimented heavily to find the tones and range he felt most comfortable with. 

To be frank, KALIEDASCARE's work from this era, does have volume and depth, lyrically it still stands out as a motivational piece, but the delivery and cadence of this particular era is: amateur.

But he doesn't complain, he loves how bad it sounds. It clearly shows how much work can be put in, and how someone can get results when they do something someone else thinks, sounds bad. There was something about striving to do better on the mic everytime that encouraged him to release more and more without critical criticizm. This brought him to some interesting sounds, using his vocal range and capability to make weird, layered harmonies. This didn't always sound the greatest but when used correctly it was suredly a signature form from Kaliedascare.

The main picks from this bunch would be:

• I Just Don't Know

• Confusion

• Lambo

These three stand out as the most influential to his adaptability, after releasing each he took steps in new directions, challenging himself with new expectations. To change and agree with the results gained. Soon after he started to work again on his newest batch of singles. Eventually he would come to name them "Busking For Change".

His second project was made with a lot more heart. Soul/R&B drive this project with ties to some Old-School Rap and Jazz Ballads. Kaliedascare finds more of his voice, more opportunities to deliver a different sound accordingly. With every track, the listener is brought deeper into a cryptic story of self-reflection, acceptance, finding love, and balancing life as a young adult.

True to its title, Kaliedascare tries different ways to get recognition dropping one song after another. Sadly his efforts go un-noticed putting him in a corner of self-doubt and reflection. Through this criticism he is humbled, and continues his work diligently.

His name is said to him in a question: 

"Is it Kuh-lie-dio-scare?"

It's close enough. At this point in time Kaliedascare had no strong intentions of what he could do with the music he was making, let alone how his alias was said.

It was at this moment he knew:

He knew he wanted it right.

SIXTY FIVE PERCENT

Sixty Five Percent is a perfect example of Kaliedascare using different techniques, schemes, and one-liners. Almost every song in this chapter has catchy lyrics, easy to remember stories, and solid hooks. Listeners have a better picture on Kaliedascare's opinions regarding the industry and his place in the world. His execution and delivery of this project show his growth as an artist, as he starts to record and release more frequently.

Sixty Five Percent itself is a catch-phrase Kaliedascare uses on a daily basis, to keep himself focused. When things are too complicated or overwhelming, a disruptor for the mind is needed. It takes the pressure off situations that may seem hard to resolve.

During his last year of high school, Kaliedascare released Smoke, iconically the best song of this playlist. (A personal favorite if I do say so myself). Smoke was a game changer, the recording and mastering of it was done in one night and released the next day, with no word until the following. He purchased and posted it everywhere, playing it over 100x to himself to make sure it was perfect. With no edits that could be made, he was satisfied.

With all the tracks in this list, there is a sort of air around him in the studio. He's starting to be serious about his work, how long it takes him, and who he can work with. After receiving feedback from his close friends and family, he got on his shit big-time.
