About Me

Hi, I'm 28 and I live in France near Paris. My principal hobbies and, more than that, passions are music and sport. In fact, I listen different sort of music like Hip Hop (J Dilla RIP, Pete Rock, Madlib...) but also Funk, Soul, Jazz...
I have a lot of vinyl of those type of music in my collection, essentialy bought in secondhand trades on sundays, realy like the crate digging!!
I play basketball for a lot of years now in playgrounds and for 6 years in a little team called BBC. I played also soccer during more than 10 years and I practiced a lot of different other sports like handball, tennis, snowboard, or golf.
I begin making beats in early 2005 4 fun but realy make it serious since the begining of the year 2006.. Now that sounds real better than before..!!
Member of the SOOLH crew since 2008 with the other beatmaker Vladsky, lyricists NSH & Lord Byron, singer Nefertiti and DJ Ryzk aka No Bless. SOOLH provides a large range of music, from the old school Hip Hop to the Nu Soul
Hope u enjoy..
Peace
