I'm a Christian first and foremost. I use the talents God blessed me with to honor Him and to help other Christian hip hop/rap artists who need beats but can't necessarily afford them. When i'm in the studio, i feel like it's where i belong. I love Production.. wether i'm in the studio with another artist, or working on my own stuff.. it's a huge part of who i am.Band/artist history
I grew up in a Christian home, but rejected everything i learned as a child when i was about 10. I had a rough time as a 10 year old kid and had a rough journey through the public school system. I was known for getting in trouble clear through high school. As a high schooler i realized that God had blessed me with intelligence when it comes to figuring things out, and ended up using those talents to get in trouble. At 16, and 17 i almost got myself put in juvy for computer/hacking related crimes.
At 18 i spent my first time in jail, and returned for a few over-nighters and short stays for theft, DUI, etc. For years, i believed the lies satan had been telling me and i spent 10 years trying to destroy myself because i believed i had no worth.
At 19 i was drinking and doing and selling drugs on a daily basis. I was affiliated with a lot of gangs through drug deals, but never became a part of one, which probably saved my life. An acquiaintance and dealer approached me one day in March of 2003 and asked if i wanted to go to work for him, and if i would have accepted it would have led me to prison, or to the grave. That night he asked me, I told him i would consider it, and was going to accept his offer the next morning. Little did i know, that morning i would be in the hospital. I had been smoking crystal meth and pot, as well as about 3 packs of cigarettes a day for 6 days, and i hadn't slept, ate, or drank anything other than alcohol. I had set out to end my life, believing that's all i would ever be, and ended up nearly doing so. I overdosed and ended up in the hospital on March 23, 2003. I was 20 years old. On that day, i promised God that if he spared my life, i'd live it for him and i gave my life back to him.
Since that time i've had a rocky climb out of that life, fighting with addictions and alcoholism, but have come out on top. I re-dedicated my life to Christ in May of 2006 when i got my ink, and i've never been happier since then.
In the last 2 years, God's revealed my talents to me, and has shown me how to use them in non-destructive ways. To serve him, and honor him, by using those gifts to reveal the truth that this world has tried so hard to hide.Have you performed in front of an audience?I DJ for Christian Hip Hop Artists and Produce a lot of beats so the guys can get their word out.
Your musical influences
I'm influenced by any Hip Hop or Rap group or Artist. Hip Hop is a culture, and the culture is an influence to everyone. I'm influenced by everyday life, as well as scripture. Most importantly, i don't pull my style from others, meaning I don't mimic or shadow any other artists. I've got a unique sound. I create music that i hear in my mind, with ideas that are given to me by God, not music i hear elsewhere.What equipment do you use?
Technics 1200's, Vestax PMC 05PROIII Mixer - Sure M44-7 Carts on Techs Headshells running Serato Scratch Live for performances, but sampling a lot off regular old thrift store wax.Contact
