MySpace Layouts I had a "normal" childhood whatever that is? I got into skateboarding before I started sixth grade and totally obsessed. The skate videos were my view into new worlds, I watched riders travel the globe, and was exposed to styles of music as different as the styles of skating. Where did I first hear NaS, and other East coast rappers like Mobb Deep? 411VM. Hip Hop replaced rock music as my main interest and influence. I had records like 3' High and Rising, Low End Theory, and Illmatic while classmates of mine would play Offspring and Green Day. In 1998 my family left the burbs behind and moved to Annandale. I traveled back to visit with old friends and kept up best I could with them and the music scene from my new outpost. After graduation I attended SCSU and St. Cloud Technical College. For a few years I got caught up in college lifestyle and started hustling. St. Cloud’s music scene was small, but there are some real dedicated musicians grinding up there. I finally decided to get rolling and wrote some full concept songs that with the help of producer Seth Johnson, evolved into my first release, “The Stewed Shadows LP†We threw house parties @ 602 and played some open mics which opened doors to open up shows. I’m currently working on writing a new album as you read this and hope to get it done this summer.
I know every friend I have won’t be my biggest fan, and every fan I get wont be my best friend. I make this music for me, and if you relate to it, or get a kick out of it… That’s the extra incentive I need to keep putting it out. Thanks for showing your support!
