P-KINETIQ Instrumentals
Originally influenced by the Hip-Hop sound of the mid 80's to early 90's as well as the Washington Metropolitan "Go-Go" music scene, Phil Strickland aka P-KINETIQ started out battling & rhyming on the school yard, then eventually played keyboards for a few local bands.
By the spring of 98, he was inspired to test his abilities and embraced the art of Hip Hop music production. Over the next 11 years, casual encounters with Hip Hop from sampling to mixing and editing with some of the latest technologies would finally lead to the 2009 introduction of P-KINETIQ Instrumentals.
Deeply rooted in spirituality and inspired by arguably some of the most conscious Hip Hop icons, it's no wonder that the tag, "the progression of hip hop...", is a tribute to its founders and innovators, as well as a symbol of P-KINETIQ's commitment to the continual evolution of the influential sound of Hip Hop music.
Focused on the highest standard of modern media production music and with a catalog of over 300 instrumentals, P-KINETIQ is poised to take the Film & TV soundtrack industry by storm.
