Prophet Productions
Prophet Productions was founded by me, Tha Prophet, back in 1996. I started it in hopes of one day making it a real production house.
The legal aspect is still being taken care of, but soon it will become an actual legit company.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been doing music for about ten years now, working in and around hip hop/rap as well as rock and alternative genres.
I've been producing beats and songs for about as long as I've been writing and recording. I started out with a group, well two groups actually... The Tru Thugs and The Were Wolf Mob(W2M).
Tru Thugs was my group that I started and a couple friends of mine started W2M. Later on everyone in my group left to join W2M, so it really came down to me being a solo artist.
Since then I've been producing intrumentals and putting together my own works as well as working on projects for and with others.
I still am very close to the Wolf Mob and do almost every project with them, but would rather be considered a seperate entity altogether.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't perform live, simply because I become annoyed by people very easily, like a mainstream artist that gets sick of his fans for all the constant attention and criticism, I get upset at so many people screaming at me rather than enjoying my music... so I just don't give them the chance to. If they want to hear me they can get the cd and leave me alone.
Your musical influences
I came up listening to stuff like 2Pac, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Twista, Tech N9ne, Crucial Conflict and various others. When it comes to making beats, I take my influence from artists like Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Kanye West, QDIII and many other great producers. And although I just described the type of music I'm inspired by, that's not the only type I listen to. I also listen to Linkin Park, Evanesence, 3 Doors Down and many other alternative/rock groups, as well as ol'school classics like Al Green, Percy Sledge and Millie Jackson.
What equipment do you use?
Anything that you set in front of me...
