Starting out producing beatz on FL Studio at the age of 18, for hiz own earz. Brandon Peacock "B.A.M or By Any Means" and long time friend Kyle Wheat "K-Dub" where already on the music scene making songz on a 2 dollar mic and a hand me down computer. Forming the group Ethereal and collaborating with Rizzo on some tracks they began making music with a wave cap pop screen and walk-man headphonez...
The Name Rizzo comes from hiz time working at Lowes with fellow workerz Matt Hubbard, DJ and Sean Cole.... Many many up gradez later still producing beatz for local rap artist, Rizzo then met Nick Knoblock "Whip of Fortissimo Records" in college and was taken under hiz wing. Realizing hiz networkin social skillz Rizzo was in the back scenez of local hip-hop showz "Bay Area on The Rize" together with another long time friend before the music DJ Rob.
