I was born Michael Gardner on 10-31-1970 in the state of Mississippi. In the early 80's I moved to California (The Bay Area) were I was exposed to old school hip-hop and electro music. It was then that I became very interested in rapping and doing beats.
I've been composing music since the early 90's. I started producing R&B, but have since grown to love Dance/Electro, and Pop. In the mid 90's I worked for an Indie label in Mississippi as a writer, producer, and recording engineer. It was during that time I really developed my craft and technique. I wear different hats. Sometimes it's dance, sometimes it's pop/rock, yet other times it's straight R&B. Right now I wanna make people Dance....Have you performed in front of an audience?No. I'm more of a composer (beat maker) where I play my parts in one track at a time.
