Attention all artists looking to contact me for a beat.. Please contact my manager Chris Abel at 203-623-7941 or email: [email protected]
I first became involved with music at a very young age. I found a passion in music when I began playing the piano at age 11. Having found an interest in music, I took lessons for 3 years, learning the basic chords, scales, rhythms, and other musical fundamentals. The most important aspect that affected my beat production later was my ability to read music. I eventually took 4 or 5 years of saxophone, giving me some exposure to woodwinds and brass by playing in a full orchestral band. At around 14, I took up drumming, providing the rhythm aspect to my beat creation. I have been drumming for 6 years, been involved in a few small bands, and I still currently play.
My diverse background in many different aspects of music has made me a well-rounded musician. My passion for rap and hip-hop came at about 14, when I began drumming. I started out as an artist, free styling over other beats I could find online. When I decided to get more serious as an artist I wanted to create my own beats so I could do something that was entirely my own product. With positive feedback, primarily about my beats from various artists, my passion for creating instrumentals grew stronger. After listening to many different hip-hop artists, I was inspired to create my own styles of instrumentals. Some of my early influences included Kanye West, Just Blaze, Timbaland, Scott Storch, Dr. Dre, Mannie Fresh, and The Neptunes. They helped establish a foundation of different techniques including sampling, and original beat creation.
Building connections with local artist, I began to learn and grow as a producer. To gain feedback on some of my beats, I sent them out to artists all over the country. After gaining confidence through other artists using and spreading my beats, I continued to work on various aspects to improve and expand my production capabilities. The turning point from recreational beat producing to a more serious level, was when I met Chris Abel of Knockout Sounds. He gave me the opportunity to get my beats to many serious artists, such as Northern League. A.B. has been a tremendous influence and a guide for building my reputation as a producer.
Having been open-minded with producing, I look toward the future to grow even more as a producer by learning more, and having opportunities to expand my music as much as possible. I want to thank you for taking the time to look at what I have done. My desire to become a first class producer and get involved in the hip-hop scene has been a goal of mine, in which I wish to pursue.
