About Me
MyEasyGen Profile Resource Layout Provided by MyEasyGen.com !BIOJoe Lopez a.k.a. Psycho JoeCEO, President, Producer and Artist ofHazard Squad ProductionsWhile attending Estero High School, in Estero, Florida, Joe became popular because of the way he married his keyboard to the computer. Local talent would book time with Joe so that he could produce and record their music. Not too long after that, Joe started making his own beats and writing his own lyrics. Hazard Squad was formed when he and a few friends combined their musical talents and vocal abilities.Joe started out performing at high school events. In 2004, he was a member of the first opening act for the Lil Flip and Lloyd concert that took place on August 1 at the Harborside Event Center in Fort Myers, Florida. Joe had the luxury of some one-on-one time with Lloyd, who was very gracious, complementary and down to earth. This event fueled excitement and Joe planned Hazard Squad's own concert at the Three Oaks Banquet Center in Estero, Florida. Joe handled every aspect of the event: he booked the banquet center, planned all of the publicity, handled the ticket sales and arranged and wrote most of the performances. Unfortunately, Hurricane Charley prevented the concert from happening.Joe collaborated with Jael Rodriguez (aka Supreme) and they performed three songs off their album "Armageddon" at the New York International Music Fest on November 18, 2004. The first track off the album (which the album is named after) was played on Orlando radio station FM 102 J A M Z on Friday, January 14, 2005. A significant amount of the team's time was dedicated to feverishly promoting the album. On March 4, 2005, Joe and Jael opened for Lil Scrappy, Trillville, and Rated-R at the Harborside Event Center. J. Sanchez from Trakwerks, a New York based company, recently approached Joe to use FLA We Don't Play off the album to represent the state of Florida on their mixed tape "Down These Mean Streets", which is being sold nationally (www.djb4.com).Joe realized one of his biggest dreams in August 2004 and started the Recording Arts degree program at Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida. This program is an intensive audio education that covers every facet of music and audio production from tracking and overdubs to mixing and mastering (taken from Full Sail's website). Joe graduated on September 2, 2005 and now has a degree that will give him the education and the credentials needed to make it in the recording and music business.Joe realizes that success comes as a result of both talent and hard work. Joe hits the streets almost daily to promote his music and gain local recognition. He has met with local clubs and radio stations in order to take the music and the business to the next level. Joe and his team have distributed thousands of copies of his recently released single Senorita featuring legendary reggaeton artist DJ Tony Touch. He is planning a late summer 2006 release date for his solo album, which is the best representation to date of his production skills and of the diversity of his music. Two tracks are dedicated to a close friend who was recently murdered (r.i.p. Raul "even though your gone i'll never let you go"). One track combines rock with hip hop, while another has a country flair. Of course, there will be a club song or two. Joe's unique style is built on his life influences from his childhood years in the Bronx, his time spent growing up in Connecticut and Fort Myers, and the unforgettable experiences of living in Orlando while attending Full Sail. But to sum it up, the three most important things to Joe are: music, music and music.* * * * * *
