Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Where most artist would say they got into Hip-Hop music over a hand full of the most common reasons, My beginnings weren't what most people would expect to hear. I found my love and passion for the genre when I heard a student in my high school did a song called "I'm a Beast". Since both of us were in the same gym class I asked him if I could listen to it, and he agreed. After the song was over he had asked me if I did my own music and had any songs done. A friend and later fellow musician "Kennexx" had told him I had potential. At this point all I had ever done was write rhymes in study hall or at lunch. But I opened my mouth and said "Yea, I'm actually working on an album". I went home that day and began researching and looking into FL Studio, Cake Walk, Audacity, Pro Tools etc... to Begin producing my own beats. And the rest is history.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
At the moment I currently am not doing any live performances. Life took me in a different direction that I had originally anticipated and my album has had to suffer by taking a back-seat. Although at any moment things can change, and shows WILL come about. Just takes time as any artist knows.
Your musical influences
I've always been especially interested in artist like Tech n9ne, and Big Krizz Kaliko. Their constant evolution of style and delivery, along with the real emotion branded deep in the verses and stories they tell on every album has had the most influence on me over any other artists out there. When a musician can make you feel the joy or the pain he is describing in the song, and send chills through your body, He/She has done their job.
What equipment do you use?
FL Studio 9, Digital DJ Pro, Collab
Anything else?
I just want to say that to anybody out there who is thinking about getting into music, go for it! The feeling of self expression thru making beautiful music and being able to call it your own is indescribable. And one of the most incredible things you will ever find yourself doing.
