Why this name?
Its my initials, its just an easy name to use. Its nothing too fancy, maybe I'll think of a more elaborate one down the road! lol.
Do you play live?
I have not done any live performances, all my stuff is pre-recorded from home.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
More people purchase songs, whereas in the past I think they used to purchase the whole album. The internet also directs you towards music you may like (for example, iTunes).
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would sign a record contract with a major label if they liked my instrumentals and wanted me to make instrumentals for them. I think it would be a difficult yet rewarding opportunity and there would be a lot to learn for me.
Band History:
I started making music in early 2008 after discovering the program Garage Band on my macbook. Since then and over one-hundred tracks later, I have moved on to Logic Pro Studio and am still learning all that it can do.
Your influences?
I love Producers Timbaland, Pharrell, and Danja. I grew up in the 80s so you may hear some 80s sounding symths in my work. I like everything from RnB to rock, Rap to Alternative, and even some Classical or Ambient Music.
Favorite spot?
I don't really have a favorite. I like sunny, warm places to visit, but I like where I live in northwestern Washington State. Its beautiful here from May to September; the rest of the year I would not mind escaping, lol.
Equipment used:
I use Logic Pro Studio, M-Audio Oxygen 49 Keyboard, and M80 Stereo Headphones.
