I RHYMED FOR CHUCK D of Public Enemy!
Using two boomboxes and a Casio SK1 keyboard I came up with audio projects for school and personal use as a teenager. I also ran sound for a stage production in a drama class and made Amiga MOD tracker songs on the computer. In my early twenties started to form experimental and electronic dance music pieces.At the time I was attending the University of South Florida's College of Engineering. To further my musical knowledge, I took a class on music theory and also attended electronic music classes under Paul Reller. During studio time in the literally underground Sycom department, I used an original E-mu, a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, an early Moog, and a Yamaha DX7.Around this time I was exposed to the roughest, darkest jungle tunes from the early/mid 90s. Encouraged by friends and given the name 'funky49', I was introduced to John Sexton while we worked together at IBM. Soon I was invited to his studio at home and the result is best documented in our music and friendship. In 2000 we had a record released on MAFFDDAP Recordings. We're looking to get more of our tracks put on wax.In the infancy of the internet in the year 2001 (ha!), I registered funky49.com to make my work available worldwide to the non-Amish.In April of 2004, I attracted the attention of EMI lawyer Jonathan H. Campbell because of my Beastie Boys remixes. They said my creativity was copyright infringement and requested that my mp3s be removed. I obeyed.It is confirmed! I am the tour DJ for Spinal Tap. As soon as a new drummer is found, tour dates will be released.FUNKY49 IS DOWN WITH THE EPP!P.S.
Don't bother spamming my comments with YOUR crap. I don't do it to others and thus, do not tolerate it here. K, thaaaanks!!!
