Band Members: its a one-man show. nah0i rockin it straight on, all night long!
Influences: good music... shit that merges jazz, funk, classical, electronical, reggae - you name it. innovative progressive music is what i like... would need to write a bible if i would drop all of my influencial artists on here. anyhow, when i was young i started off listened to stuff like nirvana and michael jackson, then it was hip hop stuff like onyx, bone thugs n harmony, warren g and that ill stuff. then it was electronical sounds like westbam, ltj bukem, shy fx, klf... from there some geek friends of mine i had a band with wanted to play chris isaac that kinda sucked.. and stuff like the cure. this was 97-98. in the middle of this i was really hooked on reggae, we heard a real cool reggae DJ toast on a SPice1 joint called "kill em to the finish blow them brains out".. my friends brother was a DJ back in late 80s and used to drop all kindsa skit. so we learned that this particular style of jamaican rapping was called "toasting" and we went to the store and picked up Blood & Fire's "If Deejay Was Your Trade". the first song was a killer Big Joe's "Ghetto". after this episode i was sucked into reggae, but also as the millenium approached i got into house music, deep house stuff like kerri chandler, mr fingers, glenn underground.. that chicago stuff.. and alot more. at that time, in the lounge/electronica/house scene there was a lot of brazilian influences, and i was hooked. the bossa sounded so lush and exotic and in particular one song got me into collecting brazilian vinyl LPs.. "Ela Desatinou" by late maestro Chico Buarque de Hollanda. during the early 2000s i listened to anything i could get my hands on, it was brazilian music from the 60s, jazz music, funk music, house music, lounge music, world music, obscure soundtrack scores for italian B-movies, spoken word like Ken Nordine, reggae, dub, etc etc etc.. Nowadays, i listen to anything *GOOD*
That be alot of things. anyways I am always interested in collaborating with anyone, I do not want to categorize myself but the genres i play are reggae/dub, childrens songs (swedish), hip hop kuts (alot) and pop/bossa. Contact me if you wanna hear something not available here. Peeeeeeace!
