About Me

I'd love to be able to say that I'm some sort of enigma with a tortured past and a really badass backstory that would equal lots of fame and fortune, but that just wouldn't be true. The truth, boring as it may be, is that I'm 23, born and raised in the state of New York, currently residing in the state of Florida, and I live to make music. I am also referred to as The Big Shot ; I honestly don't even remember how that name came about, but it stuck. I've been writing music for about 4 years. I usually write hip-hop and r&b tracks, but I've been know to try my hand at the occasional new age or easy listening piece. I do sell my hip-hop and r&b instrumentals to interested rappers and singers , but I'm not gonna write a whole bunch of shit about how I've got the hottest beats in the streets or about how I'm what the game's been missing.
I am the founder and head of Urbanizm Music ; Urbanizm Music is an independent record label / production company specializing in different aspects of urban music (hip-hop, r&b, soul, etc.). After an extended period of inactivity, we have finally relaunched and are ready to kick the music biz in the ass once more. Visit www.urbanizmmusic.com for more info on that.
Besides being a starving artist and possessor of Sonic Skillz , I am an product of the Institute of Audio Research who is currently thinking of what else to do with my life. And by the way, I am well aware that I suck at describing myself, so if there's anything you would really like to know about me, shoot me an e-mail or something and ask.

Something to think about...

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the words through, and you'll get the point.1. ...

I think my label’s page got design-jacked.

I mean, I'm not seeing things, am I? This page does look suspiciously like the Urbanizm page, right? Of all the pages on MySpace, they pick THAT one? No accounting for taste, I suppose. Still, they co...

MySpace friends

It's pretty crazy how I have almost 500 friends on this piece (most of whom I don't actually know), and only talk to a few people.You guys should talk to me more; I don't bite. Often.

For those who may not have known, a couple weeks ago my music computer decided it had lived a full life and now refuses to do anything but show that damn Windows loading screen, leaving my session fil...

I haven’t done a vg remix in ages.

I was working on something pretty cool before my music comp went into its current comatose state. I'm still deciding whether I need aggressive vox or badass guitar...maybe both?Whenever my website com...

Freaking body.

I coulsn't just take one trip....ONE TRIP....without this madness happening. I'm overly convinced that my body hates me. Well the feeling is more than mutual.

You’ve GOT to be kidding me.

Why in the BLUE HELL does the Peekskill Inn cost one hundred and thirty frickin' dollars a night?!It's not the damn Ritz.I'll probably have to post up by the train station for a night. Ugh....
