About Me

click pic to listen online 24/7
I'm tall, I have red hair, blue eyes & freckles, the rest changes without notice. I'm the dj and, along with 2%, producer of this hip hop group called Red Tide. You can listen to some of our music if you click right HERE
I do the booking and talent buying at the Orpheum in Tampa, Florida. Not just the hip hop but everything. click here to go to the orpheum page.
I'm the oldest of my friends but I make up for it with an unbelievably immature attitude. I've been a vegetarian for a couple decades but that doesn't seem to stop me from consuming a lotta junk food.
I've been a DJ for almost as long as I've been a vegetarian. I've been producing for years. My future plans include performing with Red Tide, and making hip hop music, playing with my chinese crested (Godiva), and eventually going into advertising. I also happen to be married to the most wonderful woman in the world. Why I lucked out and why she picked me is somethng I may never figure out. I'm currently producing tracks for Peripheral Records and am always looking for new and talented cats to work with (emcees holler). I have done and continue to do scoring work for television. If you've ever communicated with Red Tide online then it's likely that I was at the other end of the keyboard.
I host a radio show on WMNF 88.5 in Tampa Tuesday nights from 1-4AM called " Hip Hop Flavors ". We play indy underground hip hop and basically we are the greatest radio show in the history of history!!...or something.
Go here to check out the Flavors myspace page !!! DO THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!
Oh yeah, I promote hip hop shows in Tampa.
I'm also a proud member of the
RAPATTACKLIVES.COM DJ PANEL !!!

Sounds Like:Who knows?
I will say that I really like loud, sawtooth, synth tones and grinding, distorted, bass lines.

I like to put flange effects on my bass and lead tones and sometimes I'll even filter or flange my hi hats.

But that doesn't mean that everything I make sounds loud and aggressive. In fact a lot of my work tends to have very simple almost childlike little melodies in it.

I don't use samples too much and when I do they're usually heavily effected and chopped.
I like to use Cubase for production.
I have a roland XP-30 synth.
I link everything together with a Delta 1010 and a Spirit M-8 mixing board.
I use Technics 1200's
and a Vestax 07 Pro mixer.

I've started to emcee a little bit but I'm nowhere near as good as my bandmate B.C hahaha.
He is the shit!

My drums are often pretty busy and upfront in the mix.
Too busy some might say.
You can decide for yourself.

Most of the work that you'll hear on myspace is not meant to be purely instrumental.
I tend to think about my production in terms of unfinished pieces waiting for vocals.

Maybe I need to get over that.
Record Label: Peripheral Records
Type of Label: Indie
