About Me

started making music when I was about 10, learning instruments and stuff.. haven't stopped since.. discovered sampling when I was like 14, musically raised by RZA and A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders.. At this time I was making beats for the local rappers, spending my time doing $10 mic studio sessions, everytime I wasn't at school.. I kept on doing my thing and will continue to.. cause "saddest thing in life is wasted talent", well it might be true.. so keep on doing your thing Y'ALL !!!!!!!!!!
