Pales Bio
Ryan aka Paleface started learning music at an early age. By 10 or 12 he was taking classical guitar lessons and playing at recitals. Although he showed a natural talent for the guitar he quickly bored of it, since guitar didn't fit into the hip-hop he was immersed in since 1985. Groups like the Fat Boys, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys were in constant rotation in the Walkman, to the point that none of his tapes had any writing on them anymore.
During high school Ryan played guitar with small bands and groups of friends. Around this time he got his hands on a proper DJ set up for the first time, and started learning to scratch. Several years, and having traveled the world gave him a new perspective on life and music. In 2000 Paleface was an apprentice at a local recording studio where he quickly learned the ropes of recording, mixing, and dealing with artists of all kinds from bands to singers to rappers.
Starting with Reason version 1, Pale began to make hip-hop and DnB, then grime. With over 200
hip-hop beats and many DnB in the works Paleface is set to show a level of style and structure, quality and innovation rarely seen.
In 2003 Pale started the Easy Company collective with MC G.K. Since then they have been recording and refining their sound. Along the way many more members have been added including MC's, producers, DJ's and graff writers/visual artists. Easy Company released an EP in 2004 called "Cold War" and are currently working on their full-length debut "Military Mind", as well as doing live shows with such artists as Main Flow, Mood, and Dead Prez.
G.K.'s bio
April 25th 1981 in San Diego CA Iris Mason Gave birth to me.
Thus I was birthed in the west & raised in the south, on the border of Florida and Alabama in Pensacola.I spent most of my youth running the streets after my FAM broke up around 11 years of age. I spent 13-21 in and out of jail just trying to survive till I finally got tired of messing up my life.I moved back to my birth place at 21, with just the clothes on my back and the ability to hustle like no other.No job, no money, and no FAM.
Ive always been poetic and artistic so it became my new hustle.Under BBH Productions I released my first LP Easy Company Cold War Produced by DJ Paleface and another MC LEX...We only pressed like 500 hundred copies.
I was hot, every unit sold in like a week, so right then I knew what we had to do.It took a year for us to get back in the Lab due to every one out trying to make ends meet.By the time we got things together, I had met new people who helped influence me to push harder such as Young SAV, N.O.D.P., Loot, Main Flow, Lockjah, Kyro and more.
We all had one thing in common, (we all were hungry to make it)
