Electronic/ Hip Hop band named WaveTheory, We consist of Musicians/ Emcees/ one DJ/ and 3 Bboys. Members of the group: A-Rival (Wave Ride), Digimatic, J:/Drive (MC Ryat), and Dr. Lockit. We come with fully backed Hip Hop roots and background, coverin' all 4 elements. We have funk and Rock elements to our style also, but never loosing the Electronic feeling. FAT BREAKS. Represent HIP HOP!!!
Band/artist history
All best friends Two brothers: Alex Esquivel, and Jimmy Esquivel Two close friends: Daniel Streeter, and Jarrod McQueen. All messed with music during highschool, and at some points through most of their life. Jimmy, Alex, and Danny all were Bboys since 7th grade 1995. Fastly in the Hip Hop scene. Danny and Jarrod were artist, and met in Art class in 7th grade, same with Alex. Not until Junior year of highshool Alex, Danny, and Jarrod began messing with beats, music, anything, mainly making soundtracks for school video projects, then, the idea of forming a band came, we all wrote raps for fun. Jarrod wrote his first rap in freshman year in Math class. Never took it seriously, until he became friends with Alex, and began to freestyle. Jimmy Esquivel, already in the lime light was a true Bboy, and the best popper in Santa Rosa, possibly the whole northcoast. Alex was a natural dancer and too was a real Bboy. They loved it. and never stopped. Danny and Jarrod got into it some, but the talent lied elsewhere. Jarrod came into the group when Alex had heard a tape that one of Jarrod and Alex's friends had, of a piano melody, it caught Alex's attension, and then Alex asked Jarrod to be in WaveTheory one day in Video Tech. Now there was 3, Alex's brother was still not yet in the picture. Once they all graduated, they got a studio, and bought computers, and made tracks, made tracks, and made more tracks. There was a 4th memeber that came along for a year or so, Bobby, but he flaked out too much, and never showed for meetings and his heart just wasn't there. Still a good friend to this day, just not a good bandmember. couple years later, after being back to 3 members, Alex asks his brother to join. Jimmy, who has mastered DJ skillz as well as bboying over the highschool years, says yes, commence, WAVE THEORY. Very representitive to HiP HoP. But not loosing the Fat Break Beat feeling, and fast tempo flavor, giving us the strange combination....
