BIO:
I am a father of two beautiful twin daughters, skateboarder, snowboarder, graffiti artist, graphic designer and a serious action figure collector and a totally awesome dude....Blah Blah Blah
I have been making and experimenting with Hip-Hop/Trip-Hop/Ambient music since 1995, the year I got my first set of turntables. With some help from my neighbor, Pressha ''The MarQsMin'' , I was introduced to the fundamentals of deejaying/beat making/emceeing. That same year I was given the name DJ TurnStyle, thanks Pressha. Throughout the years I have used or owned equipment/programs such as; a set of Digital Turntables, Techniques Turntables, MPC 2000, Reason & Logic, Tascam multi-track recorders, All different types of samplers, keyboards, your mooms, Zoom & guitar pedals, Fruity loops & Pro tools, and several different drum machines. I'll tell you the truth, all that equipment is great but.... I much rather sit in front of my TV with my all-time favorite music instrument the MTV music generator for the PlayStation 1. I have the second edition but don't like it as much as the first. The song "keep my rep up" was made on the PS1 with my turntables I scratched the hooks myself into a program called logic, thanks to Hearc . I did the scratching/beat and rhymes myself on that track. It really doesn't matter what equipment you have it's how you use it. A true musician will understand that. I would like to thank all the bands, DJs and emcees that I had a chance to work with. I'm just glad I've met and had the chance to be a part of something so awesome. Here's a few musicians I've worked with in the past; Pressha ''The MarQsMin'' , Hearc , Joey skins , DJ Kev-1 , Dezmmtic , Live , DJ theory, DJ Tactic, Sween and Dave-odd, DA... Super 400 , Matter-of-fact, Lazarus, Grant, Brick By Brick , Wasteform , Rick Whispers ,And for all of those that have either stolen my beats OR not given me back my equipment. My group and friends are way bigger than you.. Sooo with that said, GO FUCK YOUR SELF!!!
All my songs are tapped out beats and loaded in samples. SO, To all the beat makers that use preset samples and preset beats, YOU SUCK! Learn to tap out real samples and stop using the samples they give you and a library bank. Go record shopping.... HEY, That is where the term "digging in the crates" comes from! HA HA HA, you would not know that because you have a computer... STOP FRONTING.
