About Me

Troopah is a 26 yr. old male from Memphis, Tennesse who currently resides in Northwest Arkansas, but will always rep tha M town. Beginning at the age of 10, Troopah instinctively began exploring the many aspects and angles of his talent involving music. He incorporated into his life the many genres as well, which in turn has given him an outstanding ability to relate to all different kinds of people on levels other than just music. Troopah has experimented with instruments such as the drums, piano, keyboard, and production equipment,but has ultimately found the majority of his talent in his ability to produce, rap, and write songs. As an inspired artist, he has always seemed to make the best of an awkward situation. In the past several years, he has struggled (as do many people) to make that almighty dollar work in his favor. He has only been using fruityloops and his raw talent and has created some "out of this world" pieces. As a prior member of The 4th Dimension (The 4th-from Memphis, Tennessee) he has been in numerous talent competitions dating back to junior high school and has won 1st and 3rd places in a couple of them. His group (The 4th), was blessed to all have individual talent as well as an amazing collaboration. But as time goes by, it tends to take people in different directions. As a solo artist/producer, Troopah seeks the ambition of others to join him in his crusade to achieve his dream and share his talent with others. His knowledge and love for music in general is impressive and outstanding. The opportunity to share what's in him would shine on the recipient of his talent and give the public someone who is "in it for the right reasons", "has a true talent and passion for such interests", and doesn't have to be harsh, crude, or degrading to speak his mind and get his point across. That opinion would be obtained of him by a simple conversation with this intelligent, diverse, open minded, genuine man.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/29/2007
Band Members: Troopah and collaborations with Rebellyus (The 4th)
Influences: Timbaland, Prince, Pharrell, A Tribe Called Quest, KRS-One, Outkast, 8Ball &MJG, Cold Play, Johnny Taylor, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Anita Baker, Patti LaBelle, the entire 80's decade of music of all genres (not much of a country or classical fan though), Nas, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Metallica, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, and a huge host of other talented artists, old school and new.These are my musical influences. But the most influence in my life has come from my roots in Memphis, Tennessee and what entails growing up and being raised in the "Home of the Blues".
Sounds Like: I like to believe that I sound like no other. However, I do hope there are other people out there that share the same uniqueness as well as talent and passion for music of all aspects as I do. Some of my stuff has been deemed futuristic. To speak on who I sound like would only be a prediction of anothers' future outreach to achieve my dream.
