Why this name?
The Highest Child. As in Beyond all peers.
Do you play live?
He has and does perform live at venues on the Central Coast of California. He loves performing and his love and passion is manifested each time he clutches a mic.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music makes easier to be heard and spread to the world, which is the purpose of music. (unfortunately, not for some people) If your purpose in making music is to make a profit, then the internet is definately holding you back, yet the promotion it gives evens out I beleive.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Indeed.
Band History:
Blah blah blah sh*** dont matter but check it...Started makin beats in '02, triggered by exscessive listening to Rza, Wutang, and Killarmy. Started using Acid, Novation, and Nuendo 2.0.. along wit several drum kits. The curiousity of how music was made spread at a young age - since playing Guitar, Bass, and Drums, T was in a serious band, when he moved away from them in '01. Missing the ability to make music took over by the next year, when he started making music solo. Instead of Rock-form, it was in the form of Hip-hop and since, he has grown, evolved, and mastered an endless style which will prove to be an entity in the industry.
