Bringing sexy back, Bitch when did I ever leave?:)

About Me

Rum has been producing music for the past 16 years. He first started out as a DJ with his twin brother, but soon began to become more interested in the production aspect of the music he was spinning. The first record that made Rum decided to buy his first sampler was Ultramagnetic MC's 12" single Chorus Line. He was simply amazed with the production of the track. Rum has produced several full length albums for local rap groups, Da Lowd Moufz, Lost Soulz, Da Seed, Unseen Click, Syko Skwad, 2 da Beat Yallas, Ill DI, Droop, MMP, and Misty. Rum began to dabble into House music around 1999. He hooked up with legendary producer and DJ Mike Filly, who schooled Rum on drum programming tips. Rum has since released some House music singles in the UK, and USA. Rum now produces an array of music from Hip Hop, House, Down-Tempo, and Dance Hall Reggae. You can also checkout his site www.dirtyrum.com to listen to more music samples of Hip Hop, Down-Tempo, and House. Some of my other interests include, Interior design, Modern furniture design, Modern art, Canvas painting, Photography, Makeup Artistry, Modular housing, Vintage furniture, and clothes, Fashion design, writing in my journal, and living a healthy life. I have been a Pescetarian (like a Vegetarian but eats seafood, no land roaming animals) now for two years, and feel a hell of a lot healthier. Oh yeah I can't forget the fact that I'm an avid vinyl records digger (D.I.T.C Bitch) or collector. The love of my life is my Grandmother, and my beautiful Siamese cat Samson. (Fat Sam for short) My favorite color is Pink, but Orange is a close second. I am a passionate person, when it comes to anything I'm involved with, be it my musical creations, interior decorating, relationships with friends or my soul mate, if there is a such thing? I tend to get caught up in my own thoughts sometimes. Although I don't watch TV, I do listen to NPR, Mike & Mike, Jim Rome, and Howard Stern. I am a very honest and straight to the point person. I don't play games or have time for bullshit or any kind of drama. I consider myself a spiritual person, but far from religious. I am a great friend to many, and would do anything in my powers to help them. I absolutely love my life right now! I have just recently become to know the person I am now, and the one I intend to grow into. I have a lot of friends dear to my heart, and not enough time to tell them all how much they mean to me. You guys know who you are! I am currently single with no kids and really enjoying my alone time. I love listening to Deep thought provoking, Body moving, and Spiritual House music, burning my Nag Champa or Super Hit, and drinking chai. Although it sometimes does get lonely, Fat Sam is always by my side. (Pretty pathetic I know). As far as dating and relationships go I am completely befuddled on the whole concept and idea of it and really have no time for all the BS involved. I personally find women to be quite fascinating and intriguing. None of us will truly be able to fully understand the opposite sex, but it sure is fun trying to. I am here to meet beautiful people, Straight, Gay, Bi, Not Sure, Intelligent, Driven, Passionate, Music lovers, Spiritual, Atheist, Serious, Silly, Creative, Artistic, Nymphos, Drug addicts, Man whores, Psychotics, Writers, Cat lovers, SP 1200 Owners, Rich, Poor, Women with beautiful feet, Old and New Friends, people into midget porn and oh yes, Guys with great man boobs! J/K Seriously if there is anything else you would like to know about me just ask! Hope to hear from anyone with a great story to tell. To all my music peeps out there. Thanks for the support, it truly means the world to me, and to all my other friends that actually took the time to get to know a little about me, you guys are really appreciated and loved by me (Rummy)!
