M***U***S***I***C***A***L B**A**C**K**G**R**O**U**N**D== Well... it all started back in the day, when the coolest thing around when I was living in DC. I was working at the local cd store saving up money in order to buy a 72 key yamaha keyboard. I worked day and night until i finally saved up enough. I was in school at the time for an "Audio Electronics" class. It was new to my school, especially since my school wasn't really a school with a lot of money, so I decided to pick it up as an elective. At first it seemed like an overload of information, but later i found that aquiring this knowledge has helped me a lot in the long run. Anyway, after graduating, I moved on to bigger and better things but never seemed to put down my keys. I lived in DC in the Northwest sector for a good amount of my life, appr. 18+ years. When i hit 18, I was kicked out for good, and moved around from Germantown, Rockville, DC, and finally College Park. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------yes, College Park.. Making music has gotten me through a lot, so dont worry folks, more is sure to come.

Do you play live?
everything under the mother f***in' sun.. but why listen to what others have played? if you want to tap into the essence of your own true creativity, cut yourself off from everyone else's music but your own. this accounts for the soulfullness of our creations. But most importantly, we managed to pull it all together while coping with the loss of a dear friend, Andrew Martin Mannix, who passed away last October. The cd was completely finished and ready to go on the birthday of Andy. So here's to one of the most compassionate and caring friends of all.. Thank you for the inspiration Andy, we all love and miss you
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
yea of course, it allows independent artists to bring their name out into the public eye.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
of course
