Band/artist history
I grew up off early 90's hip-hop like Wu,Nas,Talib,Mos Def, & Common. The more concious hip-hop. I never respected the material flows! But even before that, I have to mention Rakim,Run DMC, Latifah Big Daddy Kane,KRS-1,L.L Cool J & all the pioneers of 80's hip-hop.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Cafe co-co was a very special live venue for me, its also how i got to meet several of the hottest local mc's ever! Another recent venue that has cultivated my city is Soundtherapy.
Your musical influences
im mostly inspired by east coast hip-hop and laid back west coast hip-hop, jazz and neo-soul, rock and alternative music...a mix of everything
What equipment do you use?
Nuendo,M-audio,FL Studio..nuff said
Anything else?
JESUS CHRIST is the reason i am alive and do the songs that i do, my songs come from my heart and my experiences being a christian. It is the power of JESUS in my life that inspires me to write every verse and allow his spirit to work through me when I am performing, I do it for him alone and only him. I give my heart out when i do my songs and the world deserves to know that JESUS is much alive and he loves mankind...
