Art is the Ability to Control Other's Emotions With Your Mind.
He holds the power to deliver innovative hip hop beats that guarantee to astonish your ears. 'How does he do it?' you ask. Perhaps the question will be answered one day, but the closest way to discover his secret now is simply to listen. Yes, listen. Listen very closely as you inject his addictive beats into your iPod and absorb them with your auditory senses.
His name is Slantize, founder and executive producer of the notorious beat licensing company Shadowville Productions/Shadowville Inc. The hip hop world is not safe as Slantize threatens to kill the game with his arsenal of fire compositions. His production skills bring out the best in any hip hop artist, ranging in all flavors of club styles to the sounds of the grimey underground.
The 22 year old producer of Chinese origin is known to compose hypnotic beats with particular emphasis on melodies in the minor key. He began by developing dark and epic orchestral instruments that empowered the listener and artist to the next level. When he revealed his beats to the public through the internet, the influence he brought with his music generated an army of fans and followers in addition to a myriad of copycat producers.
In 2004, he formed the production crew of Shadowville Productions along with several other talented producers ADP and Hala-X. As the pioneers of easy and cheap licensing of hip hop beats, Shadowville Productions soon became a driving force and set the standard for underground producers today. Today, the Shadowville name has risen to a widely recognized brand name amongst the hip hop production community, having over 15 million plays worldwide. Non-exclusive licensing is still available at the same inexpensive prices to struggling artists, while at the same time licensing music to major companies and artists for thousands of dollars. The crew has been approached by major labels and management such as Sobe (Warner), Playermaker (Warner), TopNotch (Universal), TVT (Lil Jon, Ying Yang), Relentless Management (Heatmakers, Scram Jones), and many more.
In addition to founding and developing his brainchild company, Slantize also loves to experiment in sounds and blends with his collection of over 5000 instruments, combining traditional pianos and strings with fresh synths and electronic noises -- a signature style that no others have heard before. His genius has enabled him to hold a significant advantage over other producers due to his ability to not only create amazing beats, but to also program websites, design graphics, market and promote -- and most importantly -- learn and apply new skills.
The beatsmith and entrepreneur now aspires to bring Shadowville Productions into the minds of all amateur and rising hip hop artists. While the majority of producers head towards the path to the mainstream and sign their souls away to major record labels, Slantize remains focused in using his production licensing company to commercializing and mining a mass amateur market for gold.
