I write and record lots of different kinds of music, from hip hop and rap beats, to more cinematic electronic music, and I also like doing acoustic and rock/metal stuff. Most of my songs are instrumentals, occasionally I will work with other artists when I get a chance to as long as they are talented and I like their stuff.

Band/artist history

I have been Writting and recording music for about 7years and I am growing as a musician and producer all the time. I play the guitar, bass, piano/ various synths, and program MIDI and drums/percussion. Can't read music notation, I understand it but can't look a a piece and just play it. I am self taught in all the instruments I play. Not too much else I just love music and love to share it with anyone who will listen, if people don't like my music I totally respect their opinions, and am always open to constructive criticism. Different people have different tastes.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Ihave been in bands in the past but don't enjoy being a performer, I love to write and record lots of different types of music, so I am more productive and happier just writting and recording for myself and others.

Your musical influences

All kinds of music. As far as rap/HipHop: Jay-Z, Twista, Kanye West, Talib Kweli, Gym Class Heros, Tupac, The Notorious BIG, and lots of others. I like a lot of older music like Lionel Riche, Elton John, Jim Croce, Phil Collins, The Temptations and others. Rock: Tool, Deftones, Coheed and Cambria, Thrice, Glassjaw, Head Automatica, A Perfect Circle, Killswitch Engage, Pantera, Lamb of God and more. I also like a lot of pop stuff. I just like good songs, genres don't matter much to me, a good song is a good song. Anything with a good or interesting beat/ rythym will spark my interest.

What equipment do you use?

I have various guitars and basses, acoustic and electric. I record with Protools software, I also use Reason, Stylus RMX, Addictive Drums, Melodyne, and lots of other virtual instuments and plugins.

Anything else?

I am looking to try to make some money from something I am doing in my freetime anyway. If I can that would be great, if not, thats ok cause I will make music anyway, I just love to write and record, and express myself, and also help other people who are new to writting and recording, I have studied a great deal and always love to help other people who have the same passion for music. If anyone is interested in licensing my music just send me a message, I am also willing to remix, rearrange, or change things if people are serious about wanting to use my music, I am flexible with suggestions. If you live in my area, I can also help people record tracks in my personal studio, tracking vocals and whatnot. If you are interested just send me a message.
