About Me

WELCOME TO LONG LASTIN'S MY SPACE, I HAVE THREE OTHER SITES RUNNING IF YOU WANT TO HEAR MORE OF MY MUSIC, CLICK ON THE FIRST THREE ICONS IN MY TOP FRIENDS LIST FOR UNEXCLUSIVE BEATS FOR SALE PLUS REMIXES, THANK YOU FOR TAKEING THE TIME OUT TO CLICK ON TO MY PAGE, PLEASE READ ON FOR A BRIEF HISTORY . I'VE BEEN DJ'ING AND B-BOYIN SINCE 1983 WHERE I USED TO PLAY ELECTRO, SOUL AND FUNK IN THE LATE 80'S I GAVE UP BREAK DANCIN DECIDING TO CONCENTRATE ON LEARNING HOW TO MAKE TUNES AND BUILD A STUDIO. USING MY RECORD COLLECTION FOR SAMPLES I SOON REALISED THAT YOU WHERE LIMITED UNLESS YOU FOUND OTHER SAMPLES IN THE SAME KEYS. I BEGAN TO START LOOSING A LOT OF TRACKS DUE TO OTHER ACTS RELEASING TUNES USING THE SAME SAMPLES I HAD. SO IN THE NINETIES I DECIDED TO BUY A FEW SYNTHS AND TRY TO MAKE MY OWN MUSIC. IVE HAD NO TRAINING MUSICALY OR TECHNICALY IN THE STUDIO. IVE LEARN'T THE HARD WAY BY MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARNING FROM THEM. I HAD TO LEARN ABOUT MIDI, CUBASE AND MUSICAL KEYS AS I SAID IM COMPLEATLY SELF TAUGHT, I STARTED OFF IN A CREW CALLED THE SUGAR SHACK WHERE WE USED TO SAMPLE 60'S & 70'S FUNK.DURING THE EARLY NINETIES I WAS WORKING WITH THREE SWEET REGGAE SINGERS FROM GLOUCESTER KNOWN AS FRYARS,SILVER FOX AND JAMIE IRIE , JAMIE HAS SINCE SMASHED IN JAMAICA AND CURRENTLY HAS A COUPLE OF TUNES IN THE JAMAICAN REGGAE CHARTS, IN 1997 I MOVED TO ST PAUL'S IN BRISTOL AND EMBRACED THEIR MUSIC SCENE. THIS HELPED ME TO PRODUCE A BRITISH SOUND MIXING HIP HOP WITH DRUM N' BASS, FUNK, SOUL AND REGGAE.. WHILE LIVING IN BRISTOL I WORKED WITH KRISSY KRISS, KELZ, SHADE ONE, SIR PLUS, FATAL, CLG, STEP CHILD AND CLIFF MIGHTY. ALL OF THE EMCEES ARE OF A HIGH CALIBRE SO IT HELPED ME RAISE MY PRODUCTION SKILLS TO ANOTHER LEVEL. NOWER DAYS 2006 IM LIVING IN WOLVERHAMPTON WORKING WITH DEEZE WHOS ALREADY 2 LP'S DEEP IN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS RECORDING. I'M ALSO WRITING AND RECORDING WITH EARLY.B GETTING HIS LP READY. THERES ALSO THE DATA BASE CREW A COLLECTIVE OF BRISTOL, LONDON, GLOUCESTER AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAPPERS THIS IS WHERE 20 YEARS OF PRODUCTION BEGINS TO SHINE WITH THESE TOP ARTIST RAPPING AND SINGING TO BRITISH SOUNDING MUSIC. NOW IN 2007 I'M ROLLIN WITH THE SHOOKS CREW IN NYC AND NEW JERSEY LEARNIN' THAT NEW YORK HUSTLE PEACE LONG LASTIN'. ..This profile was edited with MySpace Help - Profile Creator and Editor MySpace Profile Help!
