Making Music For The People

By Mark O.

Most 13 year olds dream of making music, but Corban is accomplishing that dream. Corban has not had an easy road there though, as he has worked endless hours pet-sitting his neighbor’s animals. He has even gone to the point of cutting down his grandma's dead tree for some extra money to buy his music equipment. He has a five piece setup which has cost him almost five hundred dollars to obtain. The five tools consist of a Midi Synthesiser, two speakers, iPad, Usb Mic, mixing headphones, and he someday hopes to have a Mac Book Pro.

Corban loves to create clean hip hop music in his free time. He says, “It's just a way to express myself in a way that people can understand.” He creates his music with the aid of his producer Toasty Records. They are in the progress of making a new record which Corban thinks will hopefully drop on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Pandora in early January.

Music is not all Corban does, though. He has gone on a couple of awesome vacations in his life with his two younger sisters, Myla and Eden. Every five years, he goes to Honduras to visit around 55 relatives that live there. He also has been to Colorado, Chicago, and Hawaii. Corban has had to move three times in his life. Corban has lived in Riverside, Loma Linda, and Redlands. However, he has only had to change schools twice. He went to RAA for six years, and now he is experiencing his first year at RCMS.

Corban loves to eat Mexican food whenever he has the chance. Corban says Mexican food is his favorite because, “I grew up eating it and it just tastes good.'' He also loves to wash the food down with a nice cold Coca Cola.

Corban has hopes of a music career that could take the world by storm. There’s a lot of work ahead of him, but he’s ready for the challenge.
