The Roach Approach
Hello and Welcome to my and my various co-stars' musical adventure. My name is Money, and my partners in crime include Lanky D, as well as several others. I make the loops and lay the beats with which the Lankster and I both share the duty of dropping the hardknocks. Indeed.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Began the Art of Beatbox: 1993. as an aspiring 10 year old prodigy. Studied music as a pianist, and then worked with a brass instrument, the french horn, for 9 years. That toughed my lips and toungue to the pinnacle of human potential. The Lankster's history is unknown. I hear he read the dictionary for fun as an adolescent.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I haven't played live, but i am working with a gig in cahoots with Finger Puppet Uprising as the beat machine to compliment their acoustic sabuafare. Florida, it's gorgeous here with the sunsets and the beautiful weather.
Your musical influences
Parliament Funkadelic, The Isley Brothers, Groove Holmes, Jimmy McGriff, beatboxers all over the world, Biz Markie, The Fat Boys, Dougie Fresh.
What equipment do you use?
a cheap, no name brand microphone, and Adobe Premiere to make my loops
Anything else?
Ahh. Listen to me! I'm good and my loops are king loops over all groovy tracks imaginable, yet are against regulation to post. Therefore, I would make it known that to acquire one of my masterful loops, a personal request must be established.
