About Me

I live in Rochester, NY. I teach high school kids at Jefferson and Franklin High School. I make beats full time so get at me if you're interested. Also I play some jazz and funk in a few groups using pianos, organs, synths and a trumpet. I like chili, cheese dogs, and fried chicken so if you've got any of those you've automatically got a good start with me. Get at me if you're interested in beats or wanna chat.
