About Me

FB3: Composer, Sound Designer, Programmer, Musician, Music Producer, was born and raised in Seattle, WA, as the spawn of a bassist and a drummer. He began playing guitar and jamming with his parents. This introduced FB3 the beautiful abililty of songwriting at a very young age. He started off heavily influenced by many of the Seattle grunge bands of the late 80's and early 90's such as, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This grungy rock directed FB3 towards the sounds of, Rage Against the Machine, Korn, The Deftones, and System of a Down. After examining the sounds of hard rock FB3 was fascinated by the world of underground hip hop and intrigued with lyricism. He began to produce beats and emcee on a countless number of albums with his hip hop counterpart BMC. This is about when FB3 decided to take his passion of songwriting to the next level, he started teaching himself every instrument he could get his hands on; guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, synthesizers. At this time, instead of focusing in depth on a specific genre of music, FB3 began listening to every genre of music with a new found respect for any artist who simply makes something good. He also studied audio engineering at SAE institute in L.A. FB3 is now living in Los Angeles and has had the opportunity to write, engineer, and mix on a number of network promotions and advertisements including clients such as: Usher, Fox Sports Network Promotions, Coors Light, Direct TV, Tivo, My Network TV and TVG to name a few. FB3 is hoping to continue making a living doing what he loves.
