Juanito E. M., formerly known as L.D, has been crackin' beats since the wild age of 13. Now at the age of 18; Juanito see's the music industry as a wide open room with endless possibilities and very few restrictions. Juanito started out with raw high eerie synthesizers and woofer rattling low bass grooves. He describes the sound as "a mix of Dr. Dre's G Funk, with the unforgiving murderous tones of DJ Uneeks hardcore sound, who did production for Bone Thugs." That and his explicit offensive lyrics categorized his flow as one of the most uncontrolled and shocking out there. Since then he has now changed his primary interest to working behind the boards and letting other lyricists lay the dialogue to his "scores". Juanito has expanded on his original sound and does a variety of genres ranging from Dance, Hip Hop, R&B to Brass driven Latin styles and Reggaeton. So you can can say this young man can almost do anything. With an already remarkable 5 years of experience under his belt, and youth that still hasn't reached the drinking age: Juanito see's his future; is pulling careful moves; and finessing his way into the inner circle of the music world.
