Early Life

Khalil Gilbert Freymond was born on February 10, 2002. When he was a young child he learned his love for music through his father’s hobby of playing the drums with him. He continued to love playing the drums and started to play the trumpet in 4th grade. Playing the trumpet proved to be less captivating for Khalil the more he played them and he switched to playing in percussion. Khalil played in the percussion till high school where he stopped playing in the school band due to switching districts and his new district didn’t have a marching band like his previous one. This wasn’t the end of Khalil’s pursuit of music he started to use applications like GarageBand to help him create his own music on his own time.

Hobbies

Khalil also, was a counselor in training and worked enough to become a counselor at camp Jewell. Khalil is extremely passionate about camp Jewell and he plans to work there again in the future. Khalil discovered his passion for working with kids and started working at local camps in the town of West Hartford. Khalil helped kids learn to solve problems on their own and learn how to work with other kids. Khalil worked at local camps from June 2017-December 2019, he says he would happily take the opportunity to work at local camps in the future or even find a career in teaching.

Theater

Khalil during senior year helped with the theater at Conard Highschool. Khalil wouldn’t be preforming the the theater but he would be helping out behind the stage to learn more about music and theater production in general. He helped with several plays, like Macbeth and Shrek the musical, backstage. He only worked with the theater during his senior year at Conard Highschool. From his work in the theater he said he learned how movies use music to help manipulate emotion in movies and plays. Khalil feels very grateful on what he learned from his time in theater and wants to continue his career in theater in college.

Experience in Business

Khalil has started to grow his career by creating a website where he makes and sells custom made t-shirts. He started off promoting his business by spreading his new t-shirt business throughout the high-school. He had posters throughout the hallways and the cafeteria. He would also go on the intercom and promote his website to the school through the morning announcements. He took advantage of the school’s morning announcements and posters in the hallways in order to grow his business, he said that on average he got around 350 a month for 12 months and it increases more as the year progressed.

The Future

Khalil in the future is thinking of going to Berklee College of Music in Boston MA. Khalil believes Berklee is a good choice for him because of his passion for music ever since he has been a kid. Khalil wants to continue learning and improving his ability in the percussion. Khalil wants to commit his career to playing the drums and he is hoping to find a good career opportunity after graduating from Berklee.

The 2010s have had many great rappers, but none compare to Kanye West. During this decade, we’ve gotten great albums like, “To Pimp A Butterfly”-Kendrick Lamar, “4:44”-Jay-Z, “DAYTONA”-Pusha T, each deserving the praise gotten from each release, but the best album of the decade was “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”-Kanye West. Not, only did Kanye West have the best album of the decade, but he received a Grammy in 2010 for his album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”, he was nominated for a Grammy in 2013 for his album “Yeezus”, and he was nominated for a Grammy in 2016 with his album “The Life of Pablo”.

The Album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is considered one of the best rap albums of the 2010s if not the best, an album that is considered by some to be better than “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is “To Pimp A Butterfly”-Kendrick Lamar. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’s first track “Dark Fantasy” is the perfect introduction into this album, this song perfectly shows the tone this album is going for, this grand rap album with extreme amounts of production and rappers and artists from other genres.

Kendrick’s Album, “To Pimp A Butterfly”, is a highly respected album due to the amount of talent that is on display in this album. This album has an extremely distinct tone compared to other albums released in 2015. “To Pimp A Butterfly” has a much more of a funk and soul inspiration than any other rap album in 2015 let alone the 2010s. This album is much more of an experience than an album that you can pick and choose to listen songs and get the best experience, unlike “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” that is an experience by itself each song can work by itself and still give the best experience possible.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
