They Try to Put Him in a Box, It's Impossible

Ryan Leslie is extremely skilled in the music industry. He is a self taught pianist, singer, rapper, producer, and the list goes on. He started attending Harvard University at age 15 and majored in Government. Although he isn't using his major in his current profession, he says that the whole college experience is what he benefited from the most. He was not a straight A student but he was still able to graduate on time.

His unique way of making music is what fascinates me the most. He has a series of videos on youtube showing how he makes his tracks. I think his style is brilliant and he is a musical genius. For his song Gibberish, he just pulls out his pocket trumpet and just starts playing it on the track! Who knew he played the trumpet? I sure didn't until I watched the video a while ago.

It's interesting to know or at least get an idea of what goes on in his mind.

While touring in Europe, Ryan lost his bag that had his laptop, hard drive, $10,000 in cash and his passport in Germany. Because of the value of music and hard work, he has increased the amount of the reward for the return of his laptop and hard drive from $20,000 to $1,000,000.
