Born in the Bahamas and raised on two different continents, LCD a.k.a. Black Beethoven is striving to make his music global. The upcoming hip-hop and R&B producer and founder of Taping Your Mouth Entertainment is tired of the monotonous sound of urban music, and is focusing his efforts on making great music.
Known amongst his peers simply as D, he began his musical career at the age of 4, taking piano lessons for 10 years. He later pursued the saxophone and dabbled with the drums. His father, a distinguished musician and composer, was his main influence in music, My dad plays piano and drums, and once he started making his OWN music, I was hooked. He now has learning to play the guitar in his sights, just another way to elevate himself in the game.
After an extended time living in South America, LCD has learned a new appreciation of world music, and believes that hip-hop has become too stagnant.Everyone sounds the same, says the frustrated producer, Im trying to incorporate new sounds and let everyone know that you can do your own thing in this game and be creative.
Creative, indeed. He has been known to craft originally composed works that are often mistaken for samples, as his musical talent is above your average beat-maker,I dont just lay down drums and call it a day. Youve got to be imaginative and make it your own.
He draws most of his influences from artists from the 70s, citing Curtis Mayfield and Willie Hutch as two of his favorites. He also says he looks up to Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, The Neptunes and Timbaland as his rap influences, but dont expect him to be clone,I love the music all those guys create, and I learn from their music, but dont expect me to sound like them. Im trying to join their ranks by doing my own thing. At the rate hes going, expect the Black Beethoven to be in that top list in no time.
