Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've always liked Hip Hop music and any music/films/people that are a bit different and do their own thing. I bought a (very) basic music editing program for my PC in 2003 and gradually got more serious about it and bought better equipment and that leaves me where I am now
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No live sessions just yet!
Your musical influences
My life in general, anything I can relate to, original and innovative music, The Streets, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Eminem, all the dark metal/rock I still have somewhere, Bubba Sparxxx, all mainstream rap music: some good, some sh*t, the 90's cheesy pop era for teaching me what to avoid. Arctic Monkeys for talking about real stuff and UK MC's Sway, Kano, Prof. Green. GLC for the comedy value. Anyone else who's proud of being themselves and trying to break trends..
What equipment do you use?
A PC, condensor microphone, Audio Buddy pre-amp, Yamaha EZ30 keyboard, SONAR and FL Studio
Anything else?
Keep listening to and supporting independent music and artists!
