Preston Hardwick is a musical jack-of-all-trades. Originally
from Shreveport, Louisiana, the 22 year old has dabbled in choir, bluegrass,
music production and promotion and most recently began DJing electronic music.
He’s currently working on an album of “ambient techno mixed with old school
Jungle and new school Juke” under the name 7LOVE. The former Booked Promotions
audio engineer and promotional
assistant is currently enjoying the summer by performing whenever
possible.
“My introduction to music was through the Nebraska Childrens
Choir, which I was a part of until high school. My parents even played music to
me when I was in utero. I know, it’s weird, my parents are weird, but it
contributed to who I am. I started playing my first guitar at 13 or 14, but I’m
still not very good. I started out as a singer/songwriter for a couple bands
back in high school, but then I got bored of that and joined a bluegrass band
in the panhandle called Pinchbottle. We still talk now and then.” After moving
to Orlando with his on-and-off girlfriend of 10 years, he now attends Valencia
College, where he’s pursuing a double major in music technology and audio
engineering. Hardwick sees himself as being a part of music for life, although
not necessarily as a career musician. “I try to have no expectations. All my
music is pretty personal and I let it take on a life of its own. I currently DJ
electronic music and am interested in electrical engineering and in music
post-production. Growing up, my home life was really rocky and we moved around
a lot, so music was and still is my only escape. It’s like meditation to me.”
