What I do
ABOUT
I grew up in the Tidewater area of SE Virginia. At a very young age, at a 4th of July cookout, was the day I would meet and fall in love with this new form of music called Hip Hop, The DJ kept playing this one record... and the name of that record was "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the furious 5.
As the record played, I became mesmerized, not by the song , but by the way people responded to the song.
I started rapping shorly after, and became very good at it, but when a family friend gave me my first turntable, the DJ in me was born. I would eventually gravitate to the production arena. And with over 25 years of producing music, I've become very good at it. I believe good music has no age, so in my composittions I stay with what works, while remaining on the cutting edge of creativity. Staying true to the culture, all the while remaining relevant.
I offer high quality hip hop urban instrumentals ranging from r&b, rap, contemporary gospel, boombap, house, and neo-soul. Also remix and custom production is available.
I take pride in making even amateurs sound like pros!
