_____I was born in manchester england many moons ago. The first few years of my life was spent there in a Buddhist commune. My parents, brother, sister, and few other families were living and practicing the art. 1980-- I move to the United States (mom was originally from America so we could move) First state to live in was North Carolina we lived with our American cousins.
We then bought a Ford Truck and drove to Canada to stay with friends from England. We basically lived like gypsies for a while, driving from place to place staying with friends and relatives. We moved back to North Carolina then Back to Canada. Then to Denver. Then Canada. Then my father got a job in Dallas Texas. So we packed up and moved south. After staying in Dallas a few years, we finally landed in Austin Texas. That’s where I spent my adolescence and the next few years.________________________________________
_____When I was 17 I became very interested in to Djing at parties. The passion for electronic music started at an early age. In England my parents would listen to Jean Michelle Jarre, Tangerine Dreams, and Kraftwerk at night in the main room. Growing up in Manchester involved a lot of music, all styles and genres. Later I found myself listening to Kraftwerk, New Order, Depeche Mode, The Eurhythmics, Yaz, Berlin, etc. In ninth grade I heard my first underground mix cassette. He would mix all the popular eighties songs together on both sides. Later the local radio would broadcast from the local dance club I would tune in each weekend to listen. The pulsating beats would go on and on for hours. Vocal bites from movies and TV sprinkled with arpeggios. I had to know who or what was creating this type of electronic music. My interest in producing music came later. I began my adventure with the odd keyboard I would get for Christmas. My first experience with computer music was with our commodore 128. I would play with basic notation software putting notes on the staff and playing the parts back with the synth sound. Kind of my rendition of switched on Bach…..Fast forward to college, my first sequencer Korg 01/w pro.______________________________________By this time I was playing records full time at local nightspots and underground parties. I met my first production partner in those days, Brett Johnson. Brett was a very talented dj from Dallas we instantly became friends. Fast forward few years, I needed a place to stay while living in Austin so I called Brett.So we started producing together full time writing beats at night then listening to our experiments the next day at work.
Moving up to Dallas together we continued our journey working with local producers sharpening our skills. Few more years myself, Brett Johnson and Demarkus Lewis hooked up with Mark and started underground house label Aesoteric records. Staying with Aesorteric just a short while. I moved to Los Angeles to continue producing but now setting my goals in the television and movie industry. While in Los Angeles I have worked for West La Music selling high-end music production gear and software. I now run a consulting firm for recording studios. I also work for Apple computers teaching Logic Pro. Now I have a few companies http://www.tonesintime.com http://www.learnlogicpro.com http://www.southbaymixx.com.________________________________
