Maff
Wassup yall...this be the boy Maff Madik comin' outta Philly...I started my own production co. called "Do-tha-Maff" Productions, in which I provide beats for up & coming Philly artists.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well I started out early playing instruments such as the drums, piano, & trombone. In high school is when I really sharpened my lyricism...battling other rappers in & out of school. When I wasn't spittin', I was the Instrumentalist via beatbox. It wasn't until I graduated that I discovered how to develop my own beats. & its been history since then!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Well I'm a bouncer at several nightclubs here in Philly, so that window of opportunity to blaze a mic(or a beat)stayed wide open! One of my greatest moments is when after playing one of my songs, Busta Rhymes(who I didn't know was there) told me that my joint was hot! I was honored to have one of hip-hop's icons feelin' my sh!t.
Your musical influences
James Brown, Sly & the Family Stone, Toto, Jam Master Jay, Lynrd Skynrd, The Neptunes, Swizz Beats, Prince, Igor Stravinsky...to name just a few.
What equipment do you use?
If I told you, this page would self destruct in 5 seconds...no really, it would!
Anything else?
Music is an extention of you. It can manipulate your emotions, ideas, & imagination. Thats what makes it so powerful!
