About Me

This is A BETTER TOMORROW , from Austin TX.
I Sound Bomb.
That describes the style of noise I create.
Since the seventies & the die-hard era of the eighties, graffiti writers described their output as bombing.
I express from that perspective, with an awareness toward contributing something relevant to the culture of hip hop, especially my generation. My name and my brand are important to me, and I aim to represent this culture in the finest way possible.
STYLE
I began producing music in the style and influence of Double Dee and Steinski . I’ll always pay them tribute for their innovative production style and technique. Their brief but significant output is what influenced me to wanna create.
It’s also important for me to preserve and pay homage to the pioneers of hip hop, who through their music, re-envisioned the jazz, soul and funk music I grew up listening to, and enabled me to re-discover the originial artists both well known and obscure who paved the way for this art.
Peace to everybody tuning in and shout out to all the kids from the US to the UK, the islands, the far east, and beyond; there are many of you involved in the movement toward preserving and sustaining our culture through your music, your writing, your voice, your dance and your fashion.
