About Me

..
.. I'm a music producer, mixer, and mastering engineer in Los Angeles, California. I've had the pleasure to work with some of the top artists in music business. I own Yellow Matter Entertainment and Slate Studios. I make a drum software collection called Steven Slate Drums. I sing for the band Blackline. And here's a few other things:
- I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with a major in Music Business
- I'm an expert on drums and drum sounds and I produce a popular drum software collection.
-I love the Boston Red Sox. And the New England Patriots. If this angers you, then its probably because my teams are better then yours. Better luck next year.
-I am trustworthy, honest, never fake, and I actually care about what you have to say. As long as you are not saying it on a Sunday during football season.
-If you inspire me, infatuate me, amaze me, mesmorize me, or really piss me off... I'll probably write a song about you. Maybe I'll sing it to you. If you're listening to my profile song, thats me singing, so you'll know what to expect.
Goofy people rock. Don't take life too seriously.
If you friend request me, you damn well better write me a message too, even if its just to say "hi". having said all that:
