Been doing this since '03. The takeover is underway.Band/artist history
Process a.k.a. P, born Loyace Foreman III, grew up on the Westside of Chicago. At an early age music sparked P's curiosity becoming a hobby after studying piano in school. "When I was young I was able to rig a boombox enabling it to play a track's music and not the vocals. I remember being fascinated with my new discovery. After listen to tapes like the New Jack City soundtrack and Salt-N-Pepa, to name just a couple, I was fascinated. I spent hours a day poppin' in tapes and trying to figure out how beats were made" said P. "I would listen to the melodies and begin conceptualizing molodies and drum patterns within my head."
Attending both middle school and high school in Saint Paul, P met Chauncy who was a class mate at Washington Middle School. Throughout the fist months of their 7th grade year P and Chancy would build a relationship lasting even til this day. By the time P reached 10th grade, Chauncy's brother, Ray, introduced him to a music composition computer program: "Fruity Loops". He quickly went to work exploring the program and within weeks made his first, as P describes it, "fire" beat. "I didn't know what half the stuff I was looking at was. In school I was taught notes, scales, bars, octaves and whatever else to learn how to play music. Their was no "Composition for Dummies" book. The first thing I learned how to use on the program was a vinyl interface used to warp sounds similar to how a DJ mixes records live. Talk about starting from scratch."
As time progressed, so did P's knowledge for the program and, in general, how to piece instruments together. P describes his sound as "Third-worldly". "I feel like the guy overseas who wants to do things his own way regardless of what currnt trends suggests. Some guys will recognize and want to partner--others will be quick to judge and demand reformity." Recently, Process has fallen victim to an internet virus. The end result was losing around 100 "...compressed and ready to go" beats. "I took it real hard. I came as close to depression as I've ever been." P learns his lesson and gets back to work after scraping his CPU and equipping it with virus protection and a firewall. "I got right back at it. Within hours of starting up my computer, this time equipped with protection, more gigs and memory, I made 3 beats. The recent loss I had seemed less of a casualty after that." Since then, Process has been networking with several artist within the city and is piecing together several projects currently. Getting any project titles proved difficult. P did have this to say: "I still have alot of work to do--no matter how many beats I've made or sold. This is an ongoing thing. I got the basics. Now it's time for practical application. There's about to be a riot. This is the battle grounds. And I've got weapons foreign to this time. I am the future. I am the Process."Have you performed in front of an audience?I'm not live at this point.
