Phame and Phortune
My Band is me. I am Phame and Phortune, I am that which I have created - my beats.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been producing my own music as sort of a side hobby for about 4-5 years. But i have just now started really getting into the production scene. I use a program called FL Studio to make all my beats, but I am looking to upgrade to maybe either Cubase, or Logic. If you have any suggestions on which is better I'd be happy to hear them.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No but i would love to... Once i embrace the difficulty of playing the keyboard i just got. :(
Your musical influences
My first real musical influence at least the first i can remember. Was a tape i had of Bone Thugs N Harmony. Don't remember the exact name of the tape but it had crossroads on it that was the first time i heard a rap song. Now i don't just love rap, no no no i have a unique other love of music in techno. Now i wasn't really introduced to techno until i had a certain game called frequency it was on ps2 and it was one of the craziest most fun games i've played to date (excluding Guitar Hero), i wasn't that great at it but boy did i love the songs, i played them over and over so they kinda grew on me. Now when i first started making beats i only made techno... or what sounded like techno, probably because that was the only thing i could make that sounded close to any genre!
What equipment do you use?
Computer, Mouse, FL Studio, Midi Keyboard, and my own mind. But i've just started building my virtual studio and plan on getting a lot more equipment.
