Dad!cal
I'm a MC, DJ, beatboxer and producer. These songs are old; written between '93-'03 and recorded on a 4 track cassette tape.
I'm working on new stuff now.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I am the band on all these songs. I play all the instruments. I write it. I record it. Some beats are borrowed. In other projects I perform w/ a couple different bands as a DJ, MC, beatboxer and whatever other instrument I can get my hands on.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah. Mostly parties. A couple small gigs in some bars. Playing live is were it's at for me.

Anything else?
These tracks are pretty old. And even back when they were recorded I was going for an old school feel. I couldn't help but make it have that lo-fi sound. It was my first album. My first actual recording of stuff. My goal was to make something very eclectic, original and creative. It's different than most.
