LANSTARR
This is L.A. a.k.a. LANSTARR, member of the production team and member of the band . More of my songs are available on my official web site .
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started playing trumpet at age 9. I began to write music at around 10. Started making hip hop music at around the age of 13 or 14. Been doing it ever since. I love making music electronically and playing live. Started playing live in a band at age 22. But I am really a behind the scenes guy and would rather produce a hot track then be in the limelight. I simply play live and rap so that I can be a better producer and coach other artist more efficiently.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah I play live with the rock band I am in called Drity Bath Water. Check out their web site at .
Your musical influences
Be Bop to Hard Bop to Funk Fusion Jazz, Dark Orchestral/Classical music, Drum n Bass, Dub Reggae, 90's Hip Hop...
What equipment do you use?
I have a couple hardware synths, old school but digital. I have a couple soft synths and sequencers. Some outboard gear and some software sequencers and DAWS. I created my own software synths too (see my website).
Anything else?
