About Me

I'm taiga, I am myself and that means I am a slightly over weight guy who likes to skateboard and listen to/create music. Most importantly, I hate being a lemming and jumping on the bandwagon with all the other furry lil followers that don't mind jumping off the bridge just because the cool kid did. You may say "Thats weird", or even say "What the hell are you talking about?" and I'll simply say this, "If you don't understand, then I cannot explain it to you, I can only point you in the direction of the restroom and tell you to go back to doing your own business". I like to think, as weird as that sounds, and I like to do my own thing. If my music doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard before then I am doing just what I set out to do, which is express myself and point you in the direction of the restroom in which you do your business, and that business is broadening your horizon and helping you step into my mind. Don't worry its safe, It hasn't had a cave-in since I found out how babies were made.

Influences: PEOPLE:
LOGICAL DIFFERENCE by far is one of the biggest influences in my life, not just in music but in skateboarding and every thing else that we rival each other in. I cant explain the bond we share, we both stay away from mainstream rap/hip-hop as if it were going to give us diarrhea just upon listening. We both like music that makes us think and is just profoundly abstract. Most importantly, we both share the same passion for creating music and expressing ourselves. We drive each other to do our best. With all this said, I am honored when he lets me rap on his beats, simply because they are masterpieces themselves and for me to even do my best when rapping and writing to them just automatically turns them to complete trash. Thank you LD, cause with out you, I would not be the confused, angry, abstract and open minded person I am now....well, I at least wouldn't be as happy about it.

JACK BARRETT is another amazing influence. He is an amazing drummer, pianist, and I am proud to be on the Option Studios label with him. He is one of the funniest kids I have ever met and can still hold down an intelligent conversation. Listening to him make beats is like witnessing Isaac Newton discover gravity, its stunning in a way that you cannot look away.

JOHN HEMMINGSON is one of the most creative producers I have ever met. He has the talent to create beats in such a magnificent repetition that only reminds me of the sun rising each and every day. His creativity never seems to be away from him and its abundantly apparent when listening to his music. His horizon doesn't seem to have an end, and some day I hope im invited to partake there.
