I make beats. That's all do, thats all I ever wanted to do. And whether I'm successful or not, I will always do beats. I also write poety and songs.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My history with music started when I moved from Trinidad to Canada at the age of 8. My Jamaican stepdad always listened to oldies music. Like Otis Reading, The Beatles, James Brown. I loved it. Then, during the Grunge era, I listened to that. I don't quite remember what era came after that but I know after that was the bubble gum pop era but by then I was a pure Rap/Hip Hop/Soul junkie. Then R&B, then pop...I know....Then Rock. And then I got confused and came to a dicission that I like everything, even Classical shit. I just plain like music. That's my history with it.
