Non omnes qui habent citharam sunt citharoedi
I didn't just wake up one morning and say "hey, i wanna be a producer"..I was made for this, i've been making music since i was a baby. Back before I could afford equipment, I used to buy singles with instrumentals on them. I had 5 tape decks, record vocals while the instrumental would play, run that back and add a dubb using another tape deck. This was in 1985..I was a hungry young aspiring musician using old stereo equipment that my neighbors threw in the dumpster.
I'm a Musician, A composer, I'd rather not be labeled as a "hip-hop" or "R&B" producer. That label is so limiting.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started working in music production when i was 13. I studied music in college, Jazz, Classical, Opera. I played in pop bands, jazz bands, marching bands (Percussion), orchestra, and even hand bells. I toured Eastern Europe while studying music in college. After college, I started my own label because of how hard it was to gain respect if you didnt have any records on the air. I decided 9 years that the high demands of running a label with low resources was not what i wanted to do anymore. So here i am.. Back on the grind..hustling tracks..
