Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Producer/Artist based out of Sacramento, California. Been in the music scene since the mid 80's, first as a battle DJ and then as a producer. Groups include the Techni Crew, Ill Fated, Blazer boyz and also as a solo artist. I have always produced music that I felt (not always good for society) but now the majority of my music is Christ centered dealing with real life issues.
I have shared the stage over the years with:

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?

Your musical influences
My music style is heavy keyboards with a little sampling. West Coast sound, even though I respect and love all types of Hip Hop musically minus the lyrics.. Most Lyrics today are pathetic!
What equipment do you use?
Peavy Mix board, Dr-770 drum machine, 2 Yamaha boards and Yamaha TX 81Z sound module, Roland SVC-350 Vocoder and 2 Gemini XL-500 turntables. But now I use only Reason on my PC..
Anything else?
