As far as my musical influences its a range of different artist and different genre's of music before hip hop touched my ears I was a rock and roll kid before LL and Run DMC hit my cassette deck it was Quiet Riot, Scorpians, Twisted Sister basically whatever was hot when MTV first kicked in. Plus being a true Hip Hop head I want to share with you how and when rap stung me. With rock and roll for me it was the emotion that I got out of it which I carry through my music today. My first taste of rap was Run DMC, LL, Biz, Kane, BDP, Mc Shan, Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, Ice T, but even before them I saw what was the hip hop culture in movies like Beat street, Breakin etc. and I was hooked immediately I think what really attracted me was the rebal attitude in that era like break dancing in Train station corridors or bombing an A train or the beginning stages of cutting and scratching but all these things that were done were done with a love and passion for that particular craft almost like try and stop me if you can because I'm going to do it anyways. Hip Hop has also opened my ears to quite a few different forms of music like soul, jazz, R&B from the 70's Marvin, Teddy, Barry, then to John, Miles to even modern day jazz players like Najee even Kenny G. I could sit here and write pages and pages for you about how music in general has helped and shaped me as a person but I'll save those stories for you for another time.
