Welcome to a world that I have constructed...

About Me

A daydreamer, trying to make his dream come true... that's about it. Husband, Father, believing Christian, Web Developer, lyricist, beatmaker (don't really feel comfortable calling myself a "producer" yet), a poetic hazbeen profiling as a person who doesn't want to be called a "rapper". Overall, just a truly blessed man.
Just call me a daydreamer of sorts... and I'll answer. Thank you kindly...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/13/2006
Band Website: deeper-experience.com
Band Members: Born Zyrus Campbell, nicknamed "z1" by his mother (so she says) after his brother and sister came along and later on added the qualifier "thaEssential" just to embody the simplified complexity of his purpose; lyricist/producer, the latter 1/2 of DPA, an underground hip hop group based out of Silver Spring MD comprised of his cousin Vincent Campbell aka GreyMatter and himself, recently having relocated to the great city of ATL
More samples also available for preview/download at Soundclick:
DPA and z1 (beats)
Influences: Too many to mention...
But if you can think of most soulful lyricists/producers with a bent towards uplifting family values and encouraging academic prowess and career development, they're probably in that list.
Most definitely my family, especially my wife Millicent, daughter Jenasis, Mom & Dad (who continues to find things to talk to me about every now and then in my dreams), Mommie Springs, and all of my close and extended family...
Above all, my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
Sounds Like: Shoot, you tell me... this should be interesting cuz I really don't know.
Record Label: The one I shoulda started years ago...
Type of Label: None
