About Me

My mother calls me Rashei. I grew up in Detroit, then moved to Houston, where I started becoming interested in production and songwriting. After that I moved to Atlanta, made some really good friends, and somewhere along the way started a band called El Pus with my friend Russ. Several years, one Japanese release, an independent film score, a major label US release and a couple of tours later, I parted ways with the band and started the Committee for the Destruction of Modern Music as a way to throw musical ideas against the wall. In the meantime, I've done some songwriting, production, and guest appearances with some of my music making friends... Incidentally, I no longer dance -- I boogie.
