Faulty Family Records presents upcoming rap artists; Weezy, Hogg, Mickey P, QP, Jackpot, MGK, Pigtaktix from the YAY AREA, and Southwest Mafia out in da Pheonix, Arizona. Faulty Family Records resides in Santa Rosa, CA with a local recording studio where hits are made from the hi hat down to the vocals. All production is done here with local talent from the Bay Area. We stay true to the Bay and it comes out in our music. Real life and experiences show within the lyrics of every song. If you can't say that you can relate to our music then we won't put it out there.

Do you play live?
We love small venues, but are always looking for big ones too. With house parties you get a real close atmosphere and can have fun with your crowd.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Having access to music on the internet has changed music greatly. It has done both good and bad. It is great because you have the music world at the tips of your fingers. You can purchase albums from your home and be listening to them in minutes. (We too plan to have purchasing available on our site) The bad part is when your music gets downloaded or pirated for free. It sucks to be the artist then, but is great to be consumer.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
At this point, hell no! We are our own major label and love to have all the control ourselves and not have to listen to a boss or give up 80% to them!
Band History:
Faulty Family Records has been creating music for over 5 years now. We began in a rec room in a house in the cuts with a crappy computer, a cheap keyboard, and a buy one get one free mike. Now we got our own studio, label, and artists. It takes a while but you want quality not a half done cd that will just get thrown away.
Your influences?
One of the biggest musical influences is Mac Dre. He put it down for the Bay real big. (RIP Mac Dre you are missed)Cougnut and Tupac (RIP to the both of you, real playas of the rap game) are also two of our biggest infulences. They repped the Bay in a way no one could. And Tupac's lyrics could mesmorize anyone. I could keep going all day with all the Bay Area artists, but I think I'll stop there.
Favorite spot?
Santa Rosa, CA! We stay true to our roots and what we know.
Equipment used:
We use it all. Currently in the studio is the Motif ES, mo phatt, mpc2000xl, korg micro controller, yahama dgx 500 88 keys, dsp c-port 2000, AMD 3.5 ghz dual processors computer, Oktavia mic, beringer 32 channel mixing board, cubase sx, pro tools, dsp multieffect processor, reason 2.5, 7 gigs of samples, technics 1200 turntables, fostex pm5 powered moniters, fender strat guitar, rogue 5 string bass, a ton of mastering suites, and vst's. and a bunch of time
Anything else...?
