Introduction 1

First and foremost, hello all! I am Wessley Hampton and a second semester freshman here at Virginia Tech. I am from Northern Virginia, Stafford specifically but my extended family lives almost solely in Florida.

Some interesting things to start with include the fact that I have been doing Issinryu Karate for more than ten years and was an all-star cheerleader for at-least 4 years until I came to Virginia Tech.

I am a Brony, a fan of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which in and of itself has in many ways shaped my life for the better, giving me inspiration. It may sound cliche, but it in the year I have been a brony I have done the most I ever had In the creative atmospheres.

To start I am a mediocre artist, doing mostly digital portraits and landscapes and musician, both in performing terms on the piano, singing (learning), violin and in composition terms making everything from ambient to techno. I have had the chance to put three songs of mine into internet charity albums which collectively have earned thousands for Your Siblings , not that my songs were that great. That leads me into my fifteen minutes of fame.

The charity album Faithful and Strong found below, was seen by thousands and I had the opportunity to be beside my personal musical idols in which case I may or may not have freaked out. Since then I have had the chance to chat with some of them over skype and learn from people who have been mixing, mastering and producing for years more than I have.

This class I hope will help me communicate quickly and effectively via any textual medium. I personally have had ideas for stories I would like to write, but have never had the ability or discipline to truly wright them.

That about sums things up then!

  Have a good day,

~ Wessley Hampton
