About Me


Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace
i'm just a big record geek. Music keeps me sane. i love all types of music. the music i make i make for me. it's just sounds i like. music i want to listen to. of course i try to write many different types of music as well. manly werido electronic stuff. but more recently instrumental rock. I have been working on an album for almost a year now. so i hope do get that done and move on again to a new chapter.I started djing befor i was writing original music. Hip-hop as been a big influence. DJ Shadows album "endroducing" was the reason i wanted to buy turntables and start "making beats". I didn't know what i was doing. i still don't. thats the pull with music and me. I still have so much to learn. It's always exciting.Im grateful for all the support from my parents, friends, and general fans of my music. if it wasn't for them i would be here. so enjoy. if you live in the bay area hit me up. i have some gig's planed this winter. I love metting new people and musican's. so thanks for checking out my little myspace page, reading this little bio, and listen to my music. to get a broader perspective of what most of my music sounds like. read my commit under "sounds like" I think it's a good description.

Sounds Like: primitive piano melody's,sampled drums, assorted noise's,synth sounds, fuzzy organ loops, movie soundtracks you've never heard before. more primitive piano sounds. objects crashing in to each other in a nerby room. violins banged out on a 10 year old synthisizer. and every things pluuged into a broken MUFF FUZZ guitar pedal. more sampled drums.more stolen ideas. more of everthing. i wish i could put up more than 4 songs. once you listen to 2 hours of my music you have a better under standing of whats happening.
