About Me


^^^ MORE OPTIMUS BEATS ^^^
A PERSONAL REFLECTION

As a child, raised in a conservative town with little cultural exposure, I always felt that my creativity, passion for music and desire for self-discovery could not blossom in the environment in which I was born and raised. At the age of 16 and fresh out of high school, I decided to pack my bags and pursue a fine arts degree 8,000 miles away from home, leaving behind everyone and everything I had known. It was through this journey and learning process that I first gained exposure to Hip-Hop culture and music. Soon after, I would begin producing sonic compositions that fused sounds of nature, industry, and technology. These experiments would eventually allow me to break down any barriers and internal limitations that would have an adverse effect on my artwork. My influences are ever so vast, and I think that comes out in everything I do in life.
Along with Music Production, I also am involved with Audio Post Production and Video Editing.
