I got the name Doc Fader because I started off with a cheap mixer and didn't upgrade till I was 8 months into scratching, which which led me to take apart my fader every other day to clean and "doctor" it up to keep it working.
I spent half my childhood living in a trailer park in a small town in Idaho, and the other part living out in the country. I wish it did, but my distance from the city didn't really keep me out of trouble. I instead ended up seeking ways to be destructive and get in trouble.
I grew up in a Christian home, but rejected everything I learned in the church when I was about 10. I had a rough time as a 10 year old kid and had a tough journey through the public school system. I was known as a bully untill I got past my 8th grade year, but was still known for getting in trouble clear through high school. As a high schooler I realized that God had blessed me with intelligence when it comes to figuring things out, and ended up using those talents to get in trouble. At 16, and 17 I almost got myself put in juvy for computer related crimes.
At 18 I spent my first time in jail, and returned for a few over-nighters and short stays for theft, DUI, and a Probation Violation. For years, I believed the lies satan had been telling me and I spent 9 years trying to destroy myself because I believed I had no worth.
At 19 I was drinking and doing and selling drugs on a daily basis. I was affiliated with a lot of gangs through drug deals, but never became a part of one, which probably saved my life. An acquiaintance and dealer approached me one day in March of 2003 and asked if I wanted to go to work for him, and if I would have accepted it would have led me to prison, or to the grave. That night he asked me, I told him I would consider it, and tell him in the morning. That night I had made my decision and was going to give him a "Yes" the next morning. Little did I know, the next day, I would be in the hospital. I had been smoking crystal meth and weed for 6 days and I hadn't slept, ate, or drank anything other than alcohol while smoking 2-3 packs a day. I had set out to end my life, believing it's all I would ever be, and ended up nearly doing so. I overdosed and ended up in the hospital on March 23, 2003. I was 20 years old. On that day, i promised God that if he spared my life, I'd clean it up live it for him and I gave my life back to the Lord.
Since that time i've had a rocky climb out of that life, fighting with addictions and alcoholism, but have come out on top. I re-dedicated my life to Christ in May of 2006 when I got my ink, and i've never been happier since.
In the last 2 years, God's revealed my talents to me, and has shown me how to use them in non-destructive ways. To serve him, and honor him, by using those gifts to reveal the truth that this world has tried so hard to hide.
I've been a fan of hip hop all my life. In 2000 I started rhyming and making beats and soon after realized I was blessed with the talents of an artist. I started off with loops in Sonic Foundry's Acid and a year later ended up making my own loops in Fruity Loops. After dealing with a Meth addiction and alcoholism for years, I gave up on rhyming as the words that came out of my mouth didn't glorify God, but making beats will be with me forever.
I now make beats for Christian Artists for free as a part of my ministry, and will continue to do so unless otherwise directed by the Lord.
