About Me

josh grzyb/fliptracy/ WWW.FLIPTRACY.COM ([email protected]). all i really care about right now is a positive perspective, my b, composing music in my electronic studio, skating, taking photos, my family, my good friends, getting set to bike all summer w/becky, sequencing drums w/pianos, love, creating enjoyable work, my cat yoda, exercise, and making plans/traveling. there are other things too (of course), but those are the most important right now. my favorite thing is a few open days with my girl, the sun, and maybe my sp404 sampler to make some patterns with here and there...
JMG = creating + producing + art + skating, substance & love over money. $ just follows with the dream, not the other way around.....
