I am a solo artist who only recently got myself a course in college studying music.
I use Fruity Loops 5 and saving up for a copy of Reason 3.0 as thats the program i use at college along with logic pro.
I make various genres of music which consist of
rap beats, Hardcore, Scouse House and also i like to write lyrics on occasion.
I am 18 years old living in england and I failed misserably in school. I got myself in such a state where my life couldnt be more messed up,
But at last i am finally finding my feet, I got myself a job and joined This college course and its the best thing I ever did.
My goal in life is to be a successful sound engineer, I only started college on september 2005 and already i am stepping up to the next level with my knowlge and my music.
Yes i am merly a begginer but all i want is for people to feel about my music the way i felt making it. I want to move people and only the smile on their faces do i get satisfaction.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think the internet is very bad for the music industry because of programs like kazaa and sharaza, places where people can get what they want for free puts the music industy in a pretty tight situation. I mean for a big record company its barely scraping the barrel but for people just starting out it can be very stressful because the band/group arent making as much money as they were hoping.
For example: Reason 3.0 costs £250 - £300 a copy, Now think how much time,effort and money went into making that program and how many people get cracked software and mor ethan likey make money from it, and small companies like proppeller head arent going to be making a new reason any quicker if nobody is buying their product, it snot doing them any favors and in the end result it isnt doing yourself any favors either.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No because i want to get inside the music industry and experience what is happening around me first. IF i made make it and im i sound engineer in years to come i want to see what people do and develop an awareness of what goes on before i even attempt to go down that slippery slope. I would much preffer to sit back and learn from other peoples mess ups.
Band History:
I started out a fair few years ago on a program called Ejay which im sure everyone is aware of.
well it was the first id heard of the public making music. lol i know i sound like a dumbass well to be perfectly honest i was a dumbass.
anyway ejay helped me to create an ear for music.
then i went on to fruity loops about a year ago and didnt have the faintest idea what was going on. like i had ideas but couldnt put them into the process of something useful.
But like i said since being at college ive learnt alot about EQ and how to use a mixing desk, effects racks and so on and so forth and i believe that only the 12 weeks ive been at college its made me a better musician.

Your influences?
well i have differnt influences for differnt genres of music but first of all my main influences are Greg Joynson and Matt Macpherson because they have been really good frends to me for along time and tought me alot about music.
their links are www.soundclick.com/mattmacpherson
and www.soundclick.com/dirtyfranchize
Eminem is also one of my influences, mainly because hes got a tough background and i can kind of relate and i respect him for what hes been through, i didnt have a dad either until i was 5 years old and other problems that relate which i wouldnt like to go into detail on the internet.
as far as hardcore goes...
