You may or may not know me & my story. I'm the discarded daughter of renown Jazz bassist Buell Neidlinger. I made my way into the music business at the age of 13. Hip Hop has always been my passion and my reason for living.



As I climbed the ladder of the industry, I assisted MANY of your favorite recording artists to reach their dreams. I always wanted to produce music and become an audio engineer. I was discouraged by many, but especially my late father who told me that women didn't become engineers or producers. 

I'm now building my own home studio set-up piecemeal through gifts, donations, buying used equipment here and there, and with a little help from my (famous, amazing, renown) producer friends. I have the mentors (DEF JEF a production legend, CAZAL son of MELLOW MAN ACE, a king of Lo-Fi production, etc), I have the passion, I have the love ... now I just need a few last pieces to complete my short-term goal.

Personal Medium Essay the Reasons for A Dream Deferred 

One of the main items, which makes up for more than half of my fundraising amount, is the famed SP-1200 drum machine/sampler.



I promise the music I will make is something that you've never heard before, especially from a woman. I want to carry on my family's rich heritage in music and create the legacy for my family that my father neglected to establish for his.

I have 3 mentees in audio production/sound/business of music. They are Nanlib, Khadija Haynes & Sovren (REN). They each have an urgent need of $500 for studio equipment, DJ equipment, mics & other necessities. Please visit twitter.com/walasia to donate to them directly!!
