Stretchknocks

StretchKnocks aka Stretchbeatz is the brain behind Pfinetune Productions, which is one of music’s most creative forces that will soon be a force to be reckoned with. He has developed an ear that encompasses hip-hop from its originating sounds while presenting music that is transcending genre, style and race into the new millennium. Lamar “Stretch” Person’s roots began in Paterson, New Jersey where his enthusiasm for music flourished at an early age. “My childhood neighbor and best friend’s parents owned a record store and always brought me tapes of all the new artists in rap and hip hop.” Stretch says that listening to other genres of music and being exposed to many different cultures has been the foundation of molding his own extensive and colorful sound. Stretch was fortunate to have access to a wide variety of music thanks to his mom’s Motown, his older sister’s eclectic sounds and his paternal Jamaican roots. It is not far fetched when Stretch claims he has heard almost everything. Stretch began mimicking MC’s like Big Daddy Kane and Tupac and developed an appreciation for music and lyrics. It wasn’t until his mother moved the family to NC that he developed a desire for creating gifted melodies. “I would always have the ideas in my head but I never had a way to really get them out.” As fate would have it, he was introduced to Roland’s Dr. Rhythm beat machine and that was the beginning of the creative force we now know as Pfinetune Productions. Spending hours on end teaching himself the specs of the beat machine ensured his dedication to his budding passion. Stretch does not shy away from using a distinctive array of sounds in his music: embracing real life sounds to occasionally blending them with samples from his impressively growing record collection. The end result is always original and true to defining the creativity behind Mr. Pfinetune. Stretch has a long list of local artists that he has worked with on numerous projects while continuing his quest on making his break into the mainstream industry. In 2007, he launched his own production company appropriately dubbed Pfinetune Productions, reflecting Lamar’s innate musical creativity. He will soon be a new force to be reckoned with!!!!
