December 6, 1976 at Brookdale hospital in Brooklyn, Taiwan "Mr. Fingaz" Green was born. He grew up in St. Albans, Queens NY. At 11 years old he was given a toy keyboard. There began his passion for music. With hard work and classic training and he was awarded music diplomas from the Associated Board of Royal Schools and graduated with a masters. During his time at Bayside High School Mr. Fingaz was the first afro American to perform in the annual piano recital and played Mozart's sonata in c major to a standing ovation. He was a trailblazer competing in youth competitions and always gaining first prize. Around 16 his interest then changed to sports. He didn't connect with his love of music again until he went to college. During his time at Queensbourgh College a friend of his heard some of his song ideas and
His music and invited him to his studio to lay it down. After a long session Mr. Fingaz knew what he wanted to do from that day forward. He then did whatever necessary to get all equipment needed to pursue his career as a producer. With determination and self training, (and of course some assistance from a close few) he began to create his music. He shopped his music at local barbershops and friends to create a buzz. As luck would have it he ran into an old friend with connections to Irv Gotti. At this time Irv was an A&R at Def Jam. He got a meeting with Irv, during that meeting Irv said he wasn’t moved by any of his music but he was impressed by the musicianship. At that he was referred to Lil' Rob (a producer signed to Irv) if he liked him then Irv would sign him. He was happy to find out that Lil' Rob was an old friend. From that moment on he was on his way. On his first beat tape he had the hits Holla Holla (Ja Rule) and Angel (DMX). Under Top Dawg Fingaz worked with various artists from Jay-Z to Courtney Love. When he left Top Dawg he went on his way to working with Fabolous and Busta. In 2000 Fingaz won a ASCAP award for producer of the year. He was also featured in the XXL Magazine for production credit.
Now in 2008 he will once again share his talent with the world. He gives production and piano lessons. He’s back again to shock the world! In 2008 Mr Fingaz launched a new label with Mika brown being his 1st artist.
