Freshman/Fresh has been my alias from day one.

I often play live as the host of The Funkyard on WHYS Radio 96.3, Saturdays 5-7pm. A special moment is anytime a stranger walks up to you and says they dig the music you play :)

The Internet and P2P sharing gives people worldwide a chance to discover new sounds that they might have never found otherwise. Many people find their new favorite artist by downloading a track of theirs or listening to it on streaming audio, and likewise artists have found new fans thanks to the Internet. However, the intellectual property rights of musicians have often been neglected, with many freeloaders without regard for the work put into a given song. As the market for Internet-delivered music matures, efforts need to be made to bring things back into balance.

Sure.

I picked up some software and started working on beats for rap purposes, primarily to help my friend D'cyple with his work. Then, I just went off in a few different directions. Shazaam.

The music has expanded, and crossed over into genres such as Breakbeat, Big Beat, Trip-hop, Progressive and Trance influenced by my favorite big name artists like Crystal Method, Fluke, Hybrid, Cirrus, Eminem, Jay-Z and many others. And even more inspiration has come from underground and independent artists like Bitsmart, BuZ, my good friend D'cyple, local rapper Salvation, local beat technicians like Sweet Beets and Keyzer and Subsyde.

anything that I can just mentally connect to. And I can connect with some of these guys:

Chris Carter, Rob Reng, NineLiveTheCat, The Crystal Method, Thievery Corporation, Hybrid, Lee Coombs, Plump DJs, Dan F, Massive Attack, Cirrus, Will Smith, Eminem, 2Pac, D'cyple, Chemical Brothers, BuZ, Bitsmart, Dirty Vegas.. lots.

The sights and scenes at Tampa Bay, FL with a wallet full of twenties.

My voice, my fingers, my mind, my patience. My beat-voodoo!

Its just for fun, kids. Maybe you'll like something here, maybe not. If you do, drop me a line.
