About Me

Cullen was born in Detroit, Michigan where he began playing piano at a young age. At the age of fifteen he began his foray into audio synthesis and experimentation with longtime friend and frequent collaborator, adino a.k.a. simple. At seventeen he began playing electric bass and not long after began his study of jazz. He continued his musical endeavors by learning string bass and studying under the Netherlands based composer and bassist, Chad Langford. He continued studying classical and jazz theory with Shao Way Wu and plans to graduate from San Francisco State with a B.A. in Music Technology in 2009.

Cullen spends most of his time delicately crafting a unique brand of quirky, backwoods techno and electronica laden with deep hypnotic bass, subversive, clicky rhythms and avant-garde harmonies. He is currently residing and performing regularly under the moniker, Colour (ominous algorithmic dub), with Tarantula (live dubstep band), and various experimental jazz groups in Northern California. He co-manages/has releases on the San Francisco based netlabel, TwoCircles.
