I guess it's fair to assume that if you are reading this you know who I am; for those of you who don't let me introduce myself. My full name is Sean Paul Aiden also known as Spade. I've been a singer in the music industry for over 10 years now, I look at the success I have and am in awe of it. However, it hasn't been smooth sailing, there's been a lot of up and downs. So I am gonna tell you the story of my life; It's filled with Pain, Love, and Loss. Well let's get this show on the road. It all goes back to when I was 8 years old.
1995
I remember the day so clearly. My Mom, Dad and myself didn't have a lot of money; in fact, we were completely poor. I can't even remember if my parents had jobs, all I can remember is living in Shelters, since I was little. Anyway, I remember it was winter the snow was falling off and on in thick patches. My parents took me out to Central Park, I remember before we left the Shelter we were currently staying at; they were acting very distant, they were barely even talking to me. So, were in The Park by a Bridge, my parents stopped and turned to me, my mom looked down at me and said.
"Honey, your Father and I have something we need to take care of and we need you to be a good boy and wait here for us OK?"
"OK Mommy, I'll stay here, I promise." I said with as much conviction as I could.
"Good, and remember we love you, OK Sport?" Dad said, giving me a weak smile.
"I love you too." I smiled at them.
They turned and walked away quickly without ever once looking back. I waited hours, until the snow started to pound on down, I went and sat on a nearby bench waiting for them, I stayed on that bench waiting for them for two more days, but, they never came back. It was then that I realized I was alone. The first six months on my own were the hardest. Stealing food, living in back alleys, doing anything I could to survive.
1996
It was June, over six months on my own. I had just turned 9, I was sitting in the park when I was approached by an ugly old fat man.
" Hey kid, you want to make a hundred bucks?" he said leering at me.
" Sure, what do I have to do?" I asked. My stomach was hurting, I was hungry.
"Give me some of that sweet ass of yours." He whispered with a smile.
I won't go into details, but, half hour later I walked away with a hundred bucks and a dirty feeling. It was at that moment, I realized the only person in this world I could count on was myself. That is how I started my career as a Hustler. A few weeks later, walking around the city, I found my home for the next two years. A spot under the Brooklyn Bridge, It sheltered me when it rained and kept me out of sight from the damn Police. The Hustling I didn't do all that much, just when I was in desperate need for food.
1997
I was 10 when fate finally dealt me a lucky hand. It was summer in New York, and I was in Central Park when I came across a book to teach yourself how to sing. I tried that night under the bridge and quickly fell in love with it. Everyday I would do as the book instructed. It wasn't long before I started coming up with melodies and writing songs. Back then I had no Idea I could make a living singing. I hadn't heard a radio in my life, so this was a magical thing. That book was the beginning of a life I could have never foreseen for myself. However, it was another year before my life changed drastically.
1998
I was eleven and a half and doing my singing lessons religiously along with writing songs. I remember the day my life changed forever. I was at Madison Square Gardens visiting one of my clients who was a security guard there. I had just finished up with him and was walking down the hallways on my way out of the building. I thought no one was there so I was singing at the top of my lungs; I remember it was the only song, I remember my Mother ever singing to me. It was "Midnight Train To Georgia" by Gladys Knight and the Pipps. Suddenly, one of the doors I just passed opened up, and a big black man stepped out and yelled at me, scaring me to death.
"Hey, kid! Come here a minute!"
Now, the only time someone has said something like that to me was when a Cop wanted to talk to me. So when he said that he scared the crap out of me, so I bolted.
"Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you just come here for a minute!" he said.
Well, I kept running, suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder pulling me back the way I came. I put up a fight the whole way.
"Get the fuck off of me. You ogre looking mother fucker! I didn't do anything wrong!" I screamed while trying to get out of his grasp.
"I know kid, my boss just wants to talk to you for a minute!" he exclaimed while opening the door to the room he stepped out of.
"Tell your boss to kiss my ass! I don't who the fuck your boss is, but if you don't let me go, I'll kick both of your asses!" I stated angrily.
"Lively one isn't he?" said a feminine voice. I looked up to see a brunette sitting in a very nice dressing room. She was looking at me with a smile.
"He's a lot stronger than he looks." said the bodyguard while stuffing me into a chair in front of the woman.
"Who the fuck are you? What do you want? I didn't do nothin wrong!" I said glaring at the woman.
"I know, I heard you singing and thought you were very good. I wanted to meet you." she stated still with a smile on her face.
"Well, you met me, can I go now?" I replied annoyed by this entire thing. I mean what the fuck did she want? Who is this Bitch?
I didn't do anything, why can't I leave?
"Well, I didn't really meet you did I? I mean, what's your name kid?" she said.
"Why do you want my name? Who are you and what do you want?" I said with attitude. The bodyguard looked at me with wide eyes.
"You mean you don't know who she is?" he replied in astonishment.
"Of course I know who she is, she's the bitch that made you kidnap me!" I yelled.
"That's Madonna!" he said as if I knew her.
" Madonna? Isn't that like a hit man?" I replied confused.
"No, my name is Madonna, I'm a singer." she responded. Clearly amused.
"And?" I was getting annoyed now.
"And, I think you could be a very successful singer."
"Look lady, don't lie to me, I'm not any good. I sing for fun, no one can make singing a career."
"I have, I assure you, you can make a lot of money by singing."
"How much are we talking?" I asked my interest peaked.
"Depends, I make millions." she stated simply.
"I could make millions?" I said in awe.
"You could."
"How?" I asked.
"First, tell me your name." she said.
I looked at her for a minute before speaking.
"My name's Sean." I said evenly.
