Some people call me Lquiet. I'm an emcee from Indiana. I pride myself on vigorous vocabulary, preposterous phrases, gratuitous grammar, magnificent metaphors, and ridiculous rhyming patterns. The goal is to stimulate your mind, not your booty.

My weekly radio show, the "Rap Sabbath Show" on RHIT's WMHD 90.7 FM, is currently on hiatus. Normally the show takes place every Sunday night from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM, eastern time. This applies to everyone, since you can get a live webcast of the show at www.wmhdradio.org

Why this name?

L for my first name; Quiet for my sometimes timid nature.

Do you play live?

Yes; All over; It's great; I like it when people clap after my songs.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The internet is cool because I can sell my stuff more better...

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Certainly, if I kept creative control.

Band History:

Lquiet started out as a dorky white kid going by his real name, performing at open mic nights and house partys. Then I thought of the name Lquiet, and started calling myself that. Then other people started calling me Lquiet. Then I released a cd made in a friends studio....it sucks, but was cool at the time. Then I landed the radio show gig, which is cool when people can hear it and I'm not locked out. Then I released another album I made by myself....it sucks, but was cool at the time. Then I started getting gigs around town and stopped going to open mics. Then I released another album I made by myself....it sucks too, but not as bad as the other stuff. Then I released this new album I made by myself and had professionally printed....I think it's really good, but then again, I just released it last week....give it some time.

Your influences?

WuTang, Heiroglyphics, Sage Francis, Edan, Insight, Aesop Rock, Mr Lif, Eyedea and Abilities, Brother Ali, Blackalicious, Rakim, Kool G Rap, Percee P, Etc......
