Some days I feel like talking about life, some days about music, some days about advice or my daily routine.steve mckiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05385108896391016661noreply@blogger.comBlogger981100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288404697618967074.post-19220254053906070372012-02-08T21:44:00.009-05:002012-02-08T22:15:04.254-05:00

For some strange reason, everytime I go and sit down and wanna write a new blog entry, I feel at best on my good old laptop.It's not the new one with the black keys, it's the one right before that one, and Oh! it's a german keyboard,not that it matters, but I've gotten use to it over the past few years.I do own two other macs, but I feel as though, they serve their purpose for the studio and

It finally clicked just now.Is my life from the past living in my current life?It all started when i found myself sitting up, still at 6:27 in the morning. NO I haven't been sleep since i woke up earlier this morning or afternoon.It's been a regular pattern as of late.Hard times…… I've hurt someone so dear, so badly.It's def a game changer!I thought like crazy trying to figure out how to put

I really don't know what it is, but when I'm sitting at my desktop computer at the studio, I feel like I'm suppose to be working on a logic session, making a new song, or mixing something. I'm also telling myself, Maybe I should blog today as well, but it never happens that way. Logic is always open and I find myself listening to something, and tweaking it.I'm better with my laptop, just being

I started writing a blog on music and how I wondered if people missed those days of walking into a record shop to pick up your favorite new artist album and everything that came with that adventure.I'm sure you all have stories about it and I'm also quite sure that you don't mind sitting  your lazy ass on your couch with your lap or desktop sitting right in front of you and your at the mercy of

What's up folks…? I know… before you even say in your minds…. Wow..Steve Wrote a new blog….Yes… but life has been on going everyday for the past few months touring with Bilal and the fellas….Everyday in the fast-lane!I don't know if many of you know the feeling of sleeping in a different bed every night right about midnight or later… or perhaps driving and sleeping in an upright chair along

What's up everybody… While I'm in a writing mode and promised to stay on up my blog…I had a few things that were on my mind and what better way to talk about it then write about it. Therapeutic would you say! Ok.. So I'm sitting in my Studio and I'm in the middle of this interview from some really really good people from Japan… Who happens to follow my music since 2004… It was a humbling

I've been totally disconnected with my blog page and due to me finding out how to buy time for everything, something is gonna lack, somehow I vow to keep it going and keeping in touch with you guys with everything. It's been a busy few months and now I'm gathering everything back together and hopefully I'll be able to post more and share with you what's going on. Today I just wanted to introduce

What can I really say about The City Of Holland. Amsterdam and Rotterdam to be exact?It's pretty chill and relaxed and most of all, I feel totally comfortable there. I Haven't really figured it out yet, but I've been there plenty of times to try and figure it out, but I still have not managed to do so.If your wondering about the smoke shops and all that good stuff, Im not into that stuff so much

If you only knew what the life of a musician is, I'm pretty sure that you would reconsider all the comments you made from time to time to a fellow friend who happens to be a musician.  For example you say things like, "Wow" You get to travel the whole world for free" I hate my job…. Yours is more fun. Stuff like that for example, which makes it more interesting for MTV to take upon a show

I can't really remember how many times I've been in Paris and other places in France I visted, But I do know that it has been quite a few times. I've have many experiences here as well.Paris is a beautiful place, and just like any other place you travel too, there's gonna be nice moments about the city and not so nice moments. Its all over the world. Paris has got Hoods too, and it just on a

Talk about traveling! How about driving from Philly, to New York, the JFK airport to be exact and then boarding a plane to fly to Frankfurt,Germany. The madness doesn't stop there, we clear through customs to only board a connecting flight to Oslo,Norway.Our first show is tonight too by the way.Were all going off of fumes scared to lay down in fear of over sleeping, so we walked around, and ate

Whasup everybody! I hope all is well and your enjoying this warm weather approaching us. It's been a long winter it feels like, but a good one in terms of getting stuff done and staying on top of things. While were enjoying our lives , others aren't so fortunate. Japan has been in a serious crisis , Egypt went nuts for a while, and now we are at war with Libya. I would say there's a lot

I've been to some cold places before but this one town Chicago never lets me down with its stone cold weather!Don't get me wrong, its beautiful there and I would encourage people to see the town and all, but once winter hits, winter really spanks you there. Its colder the cold there. Even now!I recently just had a show there at a club called The Shrine. The owner made a note to me that his

Remember those days of walking in a record shop and you actually spent time in there picking out the latest cd of your favorite artist. The ambience of being in a record store filled with people digging through records looking for some great music. Those days are basically gone,waiting in lines when a new album dropped, gone. Now days you can buy an entire album on the internet without leaving

Tired as I am in this very moment, This blog almost didn't make the cut, but it's been a while since my last, so here it is.I celebrated my new year the old fashioned way, and it was quite refreshing.

Cold like the pole in the winter it is, on this night of December 26, 2010, and by the way, It's snowing again! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.Instead of watching the eagles pound on poor Farve and the vikings, I get to blog for the last time in 2010.In Philly, were having snow blizzard conditions which prevented the NFL to postpone the game tonight.Sucks, but what else are you gonna do.

Well folks, here we are to the count down. The last month of the year 2010. It had many good moments and many down moments, but I'm sure you made the best of them right? It's that time where you sit and reflect upon the changes and obstacles you've encountered in your life,and while your doing that, your still getting things together for one of the biggest holidays ever made.

A nice and warm thursday night in Los Angeles and there could be nothing better to see then a soulful concert from the view of my hotel room located on the sixth floor. A Jazz concert, featuring many great musicians from the area. One in particular, Michelle' performing "Something In my Heart".Yes that's right, as I sat there getting ready for a concert of my owns with Bilal, they were jamming

Good evening everyone. I hope your day was productive and you've got a lot accomplished.I wish I could say the same about my past few days. I've been here in Oakland,California.Just chilling around, with pretty much nothing to do but hang. Talk about days off huh.I would rather be working and relaxing in a nice area. This airport area is  pretty crunk, industrial in the day, and very hood at

A day off in Portland,Oregon wasn't so bad today. Its started with a good breakfast and walking around touring the city. It had a few very cool moments that I was able to capture on camera as well. I planned on running today but I managed to walk around the city and play bootleg camera man, and hunt for some thai food, found a good place too! Me and Tony were walking around in circles as we

In a few weeks it's gonna be Halloween, In another few weeks it's gonna be Thanksgiving Day, for most of my readers,  and while I know there's a  few  Europeans readers as well, I'm sure you guys don't take on as many holidays that we have here in the states!

All the leaves are brown, and the sky has been grey. That's been the weather here in Philly and all I keep thinking about is how I feel when I'm in London. Grey and raining and little sprinkles of sunshine. Depressing it can be. It's already Oct. 6 and I haven't even written a blog this month. Needless to say that times are busy and things have to get done. Kids have to get their education, the

Have you ever left a great first impression on someone by just simply taking the time to say hello, or by saying thank you after you've been praised for something? It's astonishing to see when people don't do it.

Over the past few days I think I've gotten an average of 8 hours of sleep total. I'm sure you guys know I've been busy with the Release of the album ( Airtight's Revenge ) Bilal. We had the release party at Johnny Brenda's and then traveled on to Boston to Play Scullers Jazz club! I feel so drained at this moment but I wanted to express a sincere and deep thank you to everyone who have supported

Today is the day when most of us would say thank god its friday, but I'm not really feeling that way.I'm blessed to have the career I have and almost everyday feels like friday!I get to wake up and decide at any point of the day what I'm going to do. Unless there's some particular plans already scheduled. If I'm on the road then its pretty simple, wake up in enough time to make soundcheck and

Berlin Berlin, Big city And dreams... just kidding, But at least everyone swears by this place! It's cool in some sense and I won't even argue that. Plus one of my Favorite Thai places are here called Moon Thai. Food was great and Me and tony  caught a crazy case of itis while watching the world cup match, and nodded a few times. It's definitely one of my Top Three of Thai restaurants of course,

Day Two on the tour, another ferry ride into Berlin and I'm having a few flash backs from last night. A friend told me I should outline my postive moments from the tour and not be so angry! You guys thought my last blog was angry? I dont think so, I just think that I was disapointed with the turnout in Koln,Germany. Nothing major, I felt like it could have been better, but with every first show,

Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes, when your on the good side of that, great things come to you, when you've worked hard enough and earned it.Well my happening was one night hanging out and being who I'm suppose to be, on the scene, networking and making moves to get closer to my dream, I ran into a old but cool and great friend.They were in charge of putting together a house band

Dreams Come True..... All you gotta do is believe, plan, and set major goals for yourself and you will see results of all the hard work and time you put in.It's totally a grind that some of us can't seem to understand, but there's that saying , How much you put into your craft, will be how much you get back as a result!Im sure my results should be soon coming back positive, as I put so many

Talk about a busy weekend going into another busy week.There is basically no time to play around with, things have to get done and you can't just sit around and slack up on things.Well for me, being as though I'm a proud father, something is always in motion.Thank you all for the Father's day wishes and my belated wishes go out to everyone I did not get a chance to wish it too!You guys of course

I appreciate it much.It's my own little way of being in a bunch of different places at one time, and i try to keep you updated on what's going on in my head. Well not too much, but just a little. Is it safe to feel like you've accomplished something, but in the back of your mind you have so much more that you wanna achieve?Well I have

Family..... When all else fails, thats really all you've got. I witnessed a situation where family is attacking one another, for something so simple, yet turned so big.I've learned from my parents that whatever happen in your family, its important to squash it right away. We are all we've got.I love all my family members, and specially my brother and sisters, and thats your core, you have to keep

I make music of all types, and people are always asking me, what do i specialize in.I tell them, i make good music and i work with great artist that takes the beats i produce to the next level.You should never be subject to one genre of music, specially when its been flowing through your veins since you were a child.If you have the ear to make it, then just do it!I grew up listening to Steely

So my weekend is winding down and i've been away from the studio for the past couple of days and i feel pretty rejuvenated! After a few hours of laundry, and taking a few shots on the court with the young kids, I'm actually at a quiet piece of mind. No music, no phone calls, No studio. Simply relaxation. Oh........ there's a guy above me who discovered he wants to play the conga drum, and he's

Whasup everybody,I've been listening to music lately other the my own that i make everyday.I came across a song that alot of us can relate to, early on in the beginning phase of a relationship...friendship... or whatever you wanna call it. The lyrics were cool enough for me to copy and recite back to you. But only parts of it.                        You give me a feeling that i never felt before

There will come a time and point in your life where you feel like someone has failed you, or somebody gave up on you, or they plain out just didn't understand who you are as a person.At the same very giving moment, you feel like they used and deserted you for their very own personal and selfish reasons.But then when these series of events happen, it prunes you to thinking about yourself and what

Have you ever felt like you don't need to listen to the radio as much to be creative in making music. Well i don't and partly because im not afraid of being different and trying out new things.

Why do people get so upset over inevitable things? You know its bound to happen, you have a feeling it's coming, and you still are totally surprised at the result. I never understood it. At some point I feel like once it does happen, its a growing process.

The undeniable things we inhabit from our mates,Its amazing when you think about things you do in your everyday life and you step back for a moment and think, wow, did i really say that how he or she would say that. Am i saying something that you guys can relate to? I mean its true though. How many times have we done something and it reminded you about somebody we use to be with? I know in your

Fatherhood is great when you know what your doing, or even when you don't know what your doing, its allows you to step back and observe life from a different angle. Its time to grow up is all im really saying. But it's alot of fun, you get to see your child grow into whatever they wanna become if you moniter them closely and have a strong presence in their live's you know. Even if your hours

Ok guys, my blog topic from yesterday has gotten some mixed reviews and some thought it was pretty hilarious. My whole point, which was to say that lots of people take it totally too far and blow it way out of proportion. The crazy explicit post, the very deep and personal descriptions about whatever it is that's going on in their lives and time after time i read it and get tired of it. Then

Whasup to all you TGIF'ers,i just wanted to add that the life and adventure of a musician does not really "TGIF" Why? well because we don't live by the rules of 9 to 5 everyday and only get an hour lunch if your lucky, some only gets 30 mins, or short little breaks.Musicians can be in a conversation and ask, hey what day is it today, most of the times in the warm weather, everyday feels like a

Exercising is one of the best things you can do for you body. Take your pick, jogging, working out in the gym, playing ball, lifting, and eating right, your bound to enjoy a great slate of health. The hard part about is maintaning once you get to a certain point. You gotta keep at it, but dont do too much, you dont wanna have to go shopping for new clothes and whatever it is.  I particularly like

Where does the time go in a week? Its already wednesday and guess what today is?The night where i play a jam session with some of my friends, down at the MarBar on 40th and walnut located right above the bridge movie theater. I heard Dice raw is on the bill tonight along with my boy Dj Statik. Should be a good one, i like his style alot on the turntables. So if you dont have anything to do this

It was raining today, and i had to travel  to new york. had a good time, its my calling of being a musician, we have to go through the trenches of it all. I encourage people who wanna take a relaxing and inexpensive trip to use bolt bus, or even mega bus, why? Because its totally clean unlike chinatown, drops you off at a mutual location in the city, its cheap (ten dollars each way) and my most

Talk about tourism,Cape Town is Africa's most popular destination for it. My last journey to Africa was totally different from this one. The difference  was amazing, the environment blew my mind totally. The scenery here is like being in california or somewhere like that. I had the pleasure of comparing these towns and i must say, i dont really feel like im taking part of africa like you guys

I feel so much better...........Now that my cold is over, I actually do feel much better and that quick, my voice was put to the test as i checked my microphone during sound check. I did well, i hit my notes and the show was successful. I played with Bilal in Chicago at a venue called Double doors. Many of you may not know that I sing background vocals in the band now, along with Mike on guitar

Most of us on this earth, wants love, or wants to be loved at some point. Then we want great romance, of course great sex, and last but not least which should have been first, they all want the security of a stable relationship. Its just natural to want these things in life. How do you manage to get them, where do start? Im not asking for myself, but just in general. What do you think? How do you

Today as i sat in Cosi's, one my my favorite quick spots to grab a sandwich, I observed a few folks while in line waiting for my food. Interesting there was two high school kids, now you know i already have a thing about this new generation of kids coming up, so im always dogging them about how messed up they got it. Argue that if you want, but i was born in 1979, for god sakes, the year of one

Have you ever got to the point where u wanna sleep and you went past the time u had to sleep and then for the rest of the day you had to grind it out, and do everything you had to get done in that day and not take a second to nod off because if u did, you would be out? Thats sort of  how my day went today. Last night after the jam session, which was a great jam with the B-side band, i had to come

Does anyone agree with me that we had a short winter this year? Spring came around too fast this year. I mean im very welcoming of it  but i still feel like it came this year pretty fast. Or was i working so hard and so much i didnt realize how much time has gone by? I guess you can get caught up in time management in the music business. Anyway i hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather outside

Thanks everybody for the support. I appreciate it much. When i first started my blog, i didnt know what to expect from it, but i wanted it to be a productive activity if im gonna spend lots of time on the computer. All that to say, i will continue to write down whats going on in my head. Last night was pretty crazy,long,fun,uplifting and just a cool place to see all my peers, close friends,

Im sure most of you heard im playing tonight at the world cafe (again) for the haiti Relief show. It makes you wonder how many relief shows has it been since the massive earthquake?

Back Again, and I would say in love but then i'd be asking for a lot of trouble right?I dont think so, im just back again wondering whats the next stop in life, where's the next unexpected curve coming from. Did you ever wonder why things are placed in your life and then at the drop of a dime its gone forever? Or at least when it happens you feel like its gone then it may come back, but then

Am i the only musician in the world that loves chipotle? I didnt think so, my routine in there is pretty simple. I get the chicken burrito with double chicken,no rice or beans, just a sprinkle of cheese and lettuce with the salsa. I know, it pretty bare but i like it and it fast good junk food at its best but if unload the beans and rice, i think its kinda better that way! Funny stuff right.
