Where do I start?!..... Let's see; I was born (the son of two Jamaican immigrants) on March 11, 1980 in the Bronx, New York where I grew up. I started off rapping when I was about 8 yrs. old, which developed into recording in several studios over the years. Later on I got involved in battling m.c.s from different boroughs just to build up my skills. The name "RAGE" I adopted almost immediately, the "ONE" came from my days as a graffiti artist. And even though I stopped tagging up and bombing years ago, the name kind of stuck with me. Things have changed over the years but I still write lyrics to this day with/for rappers as well as R&B artists.
I picked up production when I was about 19, thanks to my boys J. Scott and Zev One. All I can say is that I fell in love with the whole process. An MPC 2000 and a dream was all I had. Soon bangin' out beats became my primary focus (addiction) and it still is to this day. I took a little four year break for college to earn my BBA in Business Marketing. But once I was done, I enrolled at SAE (The School of Audio Engineering) to better develop one of my newest passions; recording and engineering. I've been focusing hard on those aspects of the industry for some time now, but I love doing it all. I've been very fortunate and blessed to be able to do everything that I've done so far..... but it's only the beginning.
Primarily I'm a solo producer who's style consists of Hip Hop and R&B, but I also produce Pop tracks and a little Reggae. Currently, I'm working with one of my mentors and friends Steve Pageot (check his page-the credits speak for themselves). He's schooling me right now on how to put together the kind of tracks that'll take over the industry, lol. Look out for those tracks coming soon, they're a PROBLEM. But seriously, I'm also working on a project with another one of my mentors Daniel Wyatt, called The Incredibuls. The group members consist of Daniel's artist King James, DJ Logic, Hub from the Roots and Interscope recording artist John D.O.E. I'll be doing assistant engineering work on the album, coming in June. The Incredibuls will be touring nationwide this summer. You can check out more on King James and John D.O.E. at their myspace page...... one!
