Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I start making beats in highschool on a yamaha psr540 keyboard. I made the song "Latin ish" on the keyboard. I then moved up to using Fruity Loops. Most of the beats and music on this site were made using fruity loops. Now I have a band (drums, guitar, trumpet, saxophone, and piano) that I play with on the regular. I am now trying to evole hip hop to what it should be REAL music for REAL people.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Looking for places to do shows.
Your musical influences
I used to try to be like Timbaland when I was unaware of how unoriginal his music was. So as of right now my musical influences are the Lovin Spoonful, ?uestlove, and Nas (quite a mix).
What equipment do you use?
korg pandora, Saxophone, Yamaha psr 540, Acid, Fruity loops, Adobe Audition, ProTools.
Anything else?
