Mister Creeper
Cincinnati Reggae singer/producer Mister Creeper
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
There is not much to say, other than that I have been writing songs and making beats since 1992. It has always been my dream to record this music and perform it for the masses. The real story of Mister Creeper is in the fans. If not for them I would not have the motivation to share my music with the world. And for that I am greatfull and give thanks.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
The band and I live and work in Cincinnati. I do like it, though I still get nervous before performing. There have been many special moments. In the spring of 2008 we played as (Gramy Award winner) Junior Reids backing band. I have been a fan for many years so this was very special to me. We usually get a good response from the people that get to see us.
The only people who ever asked me to stop playing are the cops.
