I got into Hip Hop deejayin and producing from my tender years of experimentation in the wonderful world of sound.....pot and pan breakbeats.....salad spinner scratching...maths class tribal table drumming....the usual stuff. I provide the backbone to my MC's flows, carving with my hands tracks that get the heads knockin and keep everyone happy no matter what ur taste. I live for the the elements of Hip Hop from the moment I wake until I rest my head at night, dreaming up 'the one' in my head and rushing to get it down the next morning, still haven't got it down yet though!
THE SEARCH GOES ON...................*F*R*A*U*D*
Why this name?
My first alternative rock band went under the name 'The Shameless Frauds', we had some great times and that is where I got my heavier influences from and my love for live and programmed music....and form it spawned FRAUD!
Do you play live?
I play mainly for the love of it, but often deejay at friends party's and have gigged and played a ton of concerts with various music friends Best= Battle of the bands 2001 Worst=Tottenham Summer Festival 2002, that s**t was whack! But soon to take over the Camden scene with the Brittlestar Collective when we get ourselves together...... watch this space yall!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yeah! It makes it easier than ever for me to make a dutch folk Hip Hop metal mash up with some geek like me on the other side of the world.....THIS IS PROGRESS!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Oh I dunno, u'd have to pull my leg, I wanna support the U.K underground scene, but I guess I could be swayed.....
Band History:
FRAUD started for real in early 2003, but I've been noodling away with beats and pieces for many years before that.
Your influences?
I like the Best bits of Breakbeat, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Alt Rock, Metal, Fusion Reggae ,Underground Hip Hop and Spooky Sampling........It's all in the mix.
Favorite spot?
"GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO LONDON!" J5
