Sounds Like: Well, here’s a brief rundown on me....I'm a drummer turned songwriter, and producer. I’ve toured all over the world. I'm on a mission to monopolize the Music Industry on a whole, and yes, even country music, lol. My taste in music is widely ranged, one day it's Biggie, Jay, or Nas then the next day it’s Metallica , Anthrax, and Slayer, and the day after it'll be Usher, Neyo, and Mary. I also have a great respect to the artist of the past(the real musicians).Artists of today CAN'T do what men and women like, James Brown, Al Green, Barry White, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Black Sabbath did. These artists are God's in the Industry, they put it down so hard that they will always be mentioned, heard, and looked at in publishing and television for eternity. So, I pay homage to the true Legends of the game, and carry on that craft of making real music for the people, not that get by for now bullshit that floods the airwaves now. I’m also a partner in a company called B.A.R.S Entertainment. That stands for Beats And Rhymes for the Streets; we currently have 2 volumes of our DVD out now, check out Myspace.com/AMPLAFIRE for detailed info on that. The DVD caters mainly to the unsigned or the unheard that is signed, so get at us if you want exposure. God Bless
