Just a hip-hop instrumental writer. Focusing more on the aesthetic of the song than complexity, I keep it simple and synchopated.
Band/artist history
I started as a hip-hop deejay in Kalamazoo in 1999. I first began producing music later that year, on a shitty Casio keyboard, then moved up to a Yamaha. I then moved to East Lansing for school, and picked up a Boss 202 drum machine and Yamaha QY sequencer. While at school, I met some great emcees that I'm still working with: Joe Sherman (Pistone), Justin Capers (DetrituSin), Okenwa Aguwa (Legacee). Most recently, I produced a good portion of Pistone's "American Beauty" mixtape. My current setup runs a Korg Triton keyboard through an MRS 4-track digital recorder, and finalizes everything in Cool Edit Pro.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Mostly in East Lansing at parties, but I've played at bars in a few areas of Michigan: Landshark, Harper's, Founders (Grand Rapids), Bell's (Kalamazoo). The parties are my favorites, there's so much more energy.
Your musical influences
I really dig the instrumentals that the Alchemist writes. I'm also feeling Kanye West (wish I could soul sample like him). I love the beats RZA does, too.
What equipment do you use?
Korg Triton keyboard, MRS-4 Track digital recorder, Cool Edit Pro software.
