Ki of NC
Whassup to all my Hip Hop heads out there and to all the people just looking for good music. I go by Lo'Ki. I been making beats for a while now and I feel music if definetley in my blood. I hope that everyone will check out some of my tracks and give me some feedback on some of my work.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been through so much in the past 10 years as far as music goes. To make a long story short I've worked with countless numbers of local artist and producers and have made so many tracks. All of that to me is just time and effort in honing my skillz. I am not one to deny my past and what I have been through, because it's what makes me who I am now!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I just started back Djing and I am ready to get into the beat battle curcuit and make a name for myself. I love Djing because when the crowd is feeling you..you feel like your on top of the world and that you can do anything. No special moments stick out at the moment... I just like feeling that love and respect when you rock a party.
Your musical influences
SO MANY.. I will probably keep adding to this in the future. Much love and respect to Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix, Barry White, Earth, Wind, & Fire, The Commodores, Bobby Caldwell, The Del-Fonics, Herp Alpert, Isaac Hayes, Prince, James Brown, Duke Ellington, The Tempations, Patrice Rushen, Minnie Riperton, Patti Labelle, Miles Davis, Bob James, Earl Klugh, George Duke, John Coeltrane, Herbie Hancock...see I haven't even got to my hip hop favorites... this list would be countless. I will say this though.... the hip hop producer who's style affected me the most is J-Dilla aka Jay Dee aka Dilla Dawg (R.I.P) Your Legend will live on for GENERATIONS!!!!..... Overall though I respect all genres of music done by talented musicians
What equipment do you use?
MPC 2000XL, Technic 1200's, Fruity Loops 5.0, Micro Korg, Yamaha Motif ES6. Korg Karma, Zoom SampleTrack St 224, and a Boss DR-770

It's not the equipment that makes a great producer, but the creativity and vision in the producers mind!
