Alternative Hip Hop

I am not your average rapper. I do not abide by the rules of commercialism, nor do I follow what's "trendy" or "popular" at a particular moment in time. I'm a custom blend of every lyrical influence I've ever absorbed, from rap to rock, from R&B to pop, and everything in between. If a single person can relate to a single song that I've written then I can rest assured that my struggle in life has not been in vein. I love every single person who supports me and my music, and I will continue to try to change the face of music as long as the face needs a lift.
Band/artist history
Was born and raised in Stevens Point, a city of about 26,000 people in the middle of Wisconsin. The city is not known for its hip-hop culture, but I'm doing my part to change that. I've been doing this rap thing since I was 17 - that was back in 2000 - and I've come leaps and bounds since the days of sampling, beat-jacking, and home-recorded demos. I currently record in my home studio, whereas I used to record at Sleepless Nights Studios in Madison, WI w/ my engineer, Danny Davis, w/ whom I finished my first full-length, professional studio album, "Identity". I am now in the process of producing, writing, and recording for my current work in progress entitled "My Reflection". I'm looking at a late spring / early summer release date.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Anybody wanna do a show? Hit me up. I can do live as long as there's equipment to play the beats.
Your musical influences
I am very much into a lot of rap and a lot of rock. Hints of both genres are very prevalent in my music. Style-wise I would have to say that I am most like Mike Shinoda, who is the emcee in Linkin Park, although I don't feel he will ever quite meet his potential as I believe I will meet mine. Other rap influences on me include Eminem, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., etc (I learn from the best). On the rock tip I channel a lot of Linkin Park, Evanescence, Edwin McCain, and Kid Rock. There are too many bands to name.
What equipment do you use?
Reason 2.5, soundfonts (sf2 files), Goldwave, Cakewalk, dBpowerAMP Music Converter, etc.
Anything else?
CURRENT TRACK LISTING FOR "MY REFLECTION": "All Falls Down" "Break You Off" "Breathless" "Don't Sleep" "Fade Away" "I Don't Know" "My God" "On the Inside" "Sacrifice" "State of the Game"
