quakemusic
Quake is me as a solo producer. I also have my band doomsday squad that i use to play me beats live when i do shows with fellow emcees. I aslo score films, that's something i enjoy alot because it allows me to be able to branch outside of hip-hop and create different music. My past is filled with alot of jazz performances on saxophone, which i still play, and classical orchestral music, and alot of indie experimental fusion from my 3 years with the band Groovelight.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
At age 10 my parents made me take piano lessons. Turned out it was probably the best thing they ever did for me. I started playing saxophone in sixth grade, i took lessons private lessons until i was a sophomore in college. In seventh grade i was introduced to jazz, that changed my life. I don't think i would have graduated high school if weren't for the outstanding jazz program at the school, i would have no reason to show up if i didn't get a chance to play. Once i was in the top jazz band, i got to leave school to play gigs with the jazz band around kansas city, which in my mind was the coolest fucking thing ever. I started making beats about two years ago, and in that short of time i have produced two albums for local artist, sold tracks to several different local KC artist, and seen progress with my band, Doomsday Squad. I aslo score films, that's something i enjoy alot because it allows me to be able to branch outside of hip-hop and create all kinds of different music, it just another form of expression as an artist. My past is filled with alot of jazz performances on saxophone, which i still play, and classical orchestral music, and alot of indie experimental fusion from my 3 years with the band Groovelight.
