emic
I started writing & rapping when I was 15, it's been a long process to find a style I am comfortable with. Like all beginning artists I had a lot of growing & work to do. I always would find ways to record myself but luckily I met the right person who had the equipment & knowledge for recording. I have made a couple test run ep's & albums, nothing I am too proud of but I recently am becoming the artist I have pictured myself as. I am currently working on my new project that will be a mix of spoken word & hip hop.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Shows played: Reno/Sparks (Ark-a-ik, Oasis, Metropolis, UNR, Hideout, Grey Matter in Store, Proxy House, Spacement, other houses). We're Not Dead Yet Tour (Goleta, Santa Cruz, Oakland, Chico, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane).
Your musical influences
I grew up on 50's & 60's music. I love Jazz (miles davis, coltrane, grant green). Old soul & funk. Classic Rock. Hip Hop played a big role in my life from about age 13 till now, I studied the culture and learned as much as I could about...though it's not something I follow like I used to it will always be a part of me.
What equipment do you use?
SAWPro, Turntable & records, Boss Dr.Rhythm Drum Machine. Guest Producers.
