Your musical influences
Everything from my mom's Elvis collection, to real Hip-Hop production like Dre, Timbo, and Kanye.
What equipment do you use?
Triton is my main piece of choice...with such a wide array of instruments and FX, and some sampling here and there as well, what more could you need? To track VOX or beats I use Cubase SX
Anything else?
Oh yeah, I have a bit of a shoe addiction. I have a room dedicated to shoes, all fresh, clean, and exclusive. 50 pics wasn't nearly enough, so I decided to keep you up to date with my top 25, along with pics of the studio. If you are in the Edmonton area and you are serious about your music, holla at jingjoints@live.com to submit some music samples for review. Thanks ya'll and keep checking for new daily uploads.
