I've always been a huge fan of hip-hop. Grew up in the city of Sommerville, MA so the lifestyle was always around me as a child. I then lived in the suburbs and got a different perspective on life. Over the past few years I've found myself sitting back and listening to alot of the newer shit hitting the scene. It disappoints me that I find myself paying more attention to the beat, than the MC lacin it up. Im trying to bring back traditional hip-hop beats, something that the lyricist can jump on and take over.

Band/artist history

I started getting into music at a young age. I took piano lessons for about 2 years as a child. Took singing classes. Over the past 4 years Ive found myself getting deeper and deeper into beatmaking. I started using fruity loops, a headset mic, and some whack desktop speakers. Now Im runnin an HD ProTools setup.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

No. But Id like to get on stage eventually.
