WELL I STARTED MAKIN BEATS WHEN I WAS 14 I WASENT VERY GOOD BUT I HAD TO START SOME WERE. EVER SINCE I WAS IN ELEMENTERY SCHOOL I WOULD BEAT BOX LIKE ALL THE TIME AMD THE OTHER KIDS WOULD SAY MAN YOU SOUND JUST LIKE A RADIO. SO I WENT ON FROM THERE TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND GOT IN TO BAND CLASS TO LEARN ABOUT MUSIC. I STARTED OFF PLAYIN THE SAX BUT I REALLY WANTED TO PLAY WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO PLAY THE DRUMS. I PLAYED SAX FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THEN I MOVED FROM LOUISANA TO NORTH CAROLINA AT THE AGE OF 12. HERE I DROPED THE SAX AND PICKED UP THE DRUMS BECOUSE I HAD A NATURAL TALENT FOR IT. I TOOK MY SKILLS FROM THERE TO HELP ME MAKE BEATS SUCH AS HORMONIZING ECT. I WENT ON TO HIGH SCHOOL AND GOT IN MARCHING BAND STILL PLAYIN THE DRUMS. THIS IS WHEN I STARTED TO REALY MAKE BEATS . WELL I WAS JUST EXPERIMENTING BUT GOT BETTER WITH PRACTICE. DONT GET ME WRONG I TRIED MAKIN BEATS BEFORE AT LIKE 10 BUT I WAS USING A PIANO A DRUM PAD AND TWO TAPE RECORDERS. NOT A VERY GOOD QUILITY SOUND. OVER THE YEARS FROM AGE 14 TO 18 I HAVE CAME A LONG WAYS READY TO PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS.
