Shallow Hands
I'm a hip-hop and electronic music producer. I'm all about keeping hip hop real, and I'm all about fighting the direction hip hop is going on the radio these days!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started writting beats and songs in 2002 and haven't looked back. I'm still in the 'honing my skills' stage as a music artist, but I'm always improving! It's nice that each beat/song is better than the last. I started out with 4-4 music like trance, house and techno. Now I write more hip hop than electronic, but both are really electronic music forms. I see the hip hop aspect continuing to be my focus in the future too.
