Houdini: Magic Fingers (RnB)

I Dont Make Beats, The Beats Make Me

About Me

Up and coming producer from Leeds!!! Main influences are Hip Hop/RnB, would like to think that i am a versatile producer, due to the variety of different music that i listen to, all of which influence me to do wat i do, just check the beats and let me know what you think! Also a session keyboard player, being doing it for a couple of years now so you might see me out and about playing aswell. First started playing piano when i was 8, which was nearly 13 years ago and got to grade 6, but paying for sum piece of paper to prove my abilities is a LONG TING! Found early influences for music from my family, my cousins are DJ Depps (TDP), Doggee (Yorkshire Terriorz) and i remember watching them from a young age starting off their music, and listening to the music they were listening to. Im still young and still on da lurning curve, but hopefully i got big things to look forward to in da future!

I also help to run a regular live music session at The Elbow Rooms in Leeds city centre called ''Soul Sauce'', its every wednesday and runs from 18:30 till 21:00 and is for people who like Jazz/Soul. If anyone is interested in perfoming, musicians or singers just drop me a message and ill get back to you on it.
