MY ONE YEAR ON STEEMIT!! <3

in #steemit • 6 years ago (edited)

What a year & great experience it has been!

Exactly one year ago my dear long time friend @beat5e8 urged me to stop wasting time & talent on these social platforms & get on Steemit.

He expressed that from his experience it's the place where musicians/ people really connect, collaborate, inspire, support each other & that your like/ upvote is worth something!

@beat5e8 had been on Steemit for about a half year already.
When I investigated I saw that he was making great connections in the SMA community & shaking up the music scene by winning music contest such as the Steemit Music League & the Beat Battle League Challenge both hosted by the dear @chiefmappster.

I just had gotten my audio engineering diploma at the time so I found this was a wink of the universe !!!
Thank you @beat5e8 for pointing me in this direction. <3

As I tend to first check out the terrain, get a feel for things, I posted my #Introducyourself four days after arrival & a few weeks after hopped right onto the Steemit Music League Challenge Week #9

The topic of the SML #9 was "Ancient Civilizations".

I created the song "MU".
It was my very first entry into a music contest & guess what, I made 4th Place, whoop whoop!

Here is the post..

New Music: 'Ancient Civilizations' - "MU" by D-VINE ( @d-vine ) - Steemit Music League Challenge Week #9 #originalmusic
& the Results Post

That was just the beginning!!

I have been making music/ posting music, competeing in music contest such as
The Steemit Music Experience - A DSound Community Initiative hosted by @soundbath & Sprout: From Seed to Song: DSound Community Initiative hosted by @playitforward
& I also started hosting 3 music related shows since. <3

The first show I hosted was called ( it since has been cancelled ) "THE NEEDLE ON YOUR RECORD - A CURATION SHOW FEATURING SMA MUSICIANS".

I started "The Needle On Your Record" with @seveaux, @inthenow joined & later I co-hosted "„THE NEEDLE ON YOUR RECORD - A CURATION SHOW FEATURING SMA MUSICIANS“" with @onemedia & @darrenclaxton.

My second venture into hosting was/ is a show called "Spotlight On The Artist", I co-host it with the fabulous with @onemedia & my new found ( on Steemit ) besty @darrenclaxton.

As you can see music is my life, more happened in this year though!

I was adopted by @topkpop alongside @katrina-ariel in the #adoptaminnow initiative.

@topkpop gave us the SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT: #nocomfortzone challenge for my adopted minnows (and anyone else who wants to take part) & really had me come out of my comfort zone.

This was a rather hard one for me since I don't really talk about these subjects.
See, I don't like to dwell in the past nor on negative things, I am always up for a challenge though & like to push my boundaries!
I have to admit though scary, it was very releaving to open up in that way.

Click the pic or the hotlink to read what I wrote in MY SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT by @topkpop: The #nocomfortzone Challenge for @topkpop.

I love photography & art!

Always feeling the need to create photography & art are my other ways of expressing myself.

Like with my music I tried my luck in a few competitions.

When particepating in them I came across even more rad talent on this beautiful platform, mindblowing & jawdropping talent!
<3

These are some competitions I entered ...

My entry to Jenny's Art Contest Week #19.

        It's amazing to see what we have all achieved in such a short space of time isn't it!

        I know a lot of people get depressed about the STEEM price but we are part of a revolution here and the large fluctuations in price are normal for a nascent technology. Just look back at the dot com boom, apple share price, etc.

        We will look back at this time fondly and be able to say the we were there at the beginning of the revolution for independent musicians and many others!

        Here's to the next year!

              It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know you Denise!
              We are so alike and I enjoy our occasional crazy chats!
              The collaboration tracks we've made are also a real highlight of our friendship which culminated with our BBC Radio airplay a few months ago!
              I look forward to the next year of your Steemit journey!
              Your friend.
