Band Members: Hi, my name is Dert. And no, I do not seriously claim to be The Best Beat Maker From West Covina. Although I am better than anyone I know from that town and a good amount of people would agree with that claim. My self-appointed title is merely for fun and to shed light on the humble little town in southern California that I was raised in.
Influences: J-Dilla, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Stevie Wonder, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Bjork, Chopin, Bartok, Sonic Youth, Stereolab, The Cure, Marley Marl, Mantronix, Rick Rubin, Nigel Godrich, The Roots, DJ Shadow, Just Blaze, Madlib...and SO much more. Talented, smart, beautiful women of color who rock my world. Good graphic design, Wes Anderson, John Hughes & Michael Goundry movies, being alone, all things Brazil or Japan, Apple products, the Pacific ocean, the city of San Francisco, working late nights with The Ad*itive
Record Label: Various
