About Me |
|
| Okay. let's see... Immersed in jazz, funk, R&B, 70's rock and gospel since I was born. Fell in love with hip-hop and was obssessed with it in my childhood (beatboxing, breakdancing, graffiti... the whole 9). Wanted to be in a rock band after watching early MTV. Started as a jazz musician on sax as at 11... Progressed to playing keys in my late teens/early 20's. Got into production in my early-mid 20's... Fell in love with deep house, electronica, industrial, broken beat and drum-n-bass... From there, it went to full-time production and songwriting. Now, I make a living at it! Peace and blessings... | |
