Born in Ohio 1985. Moved to East Los Angeles in 1991. By 1999, my family settled in Phoenix, AZ. I started out freestyling and battle rapping with my good homie Nigel and a few other local kids around freshmen year of high school. At first, I was so nervous I would be all shaky and twitchy, I kept at it and kept taking on new challengers until it was pretty well known I was top 3 in my high school of about 2800 students. Actually at the time, the dopest rapper in school was a white boy named Mike Sorget! What up Mike! God bless bro. Anyways I was also into computers and had swindled me a bootleg copy of Fruity Loops. I think back then it was barely on like Volume 2-3. I will just say straight up when I first went about trying to Produce music I was TRASH!!!! My biggest issue was I was stuck with the demo version because I did not have the keygen at the time. I didn't get smooth with LimeWire until about 11th grade, so until then I had to just keep practicing or "finish" a beat and bounce the track for my friends and I to bump on a CD in the ride. I also0 did not know shit about music theory back then. I just knew how to count bars and I knew the difference between a verse and a chorus/hook. So I went on a learning journey to discover all I could about Fruity Loops. If YouTube was around back then, I would have been a YouTube Certified Expert. As time went on through high school I kept rapping and I took it kinda seriously. By the time I graduated, I had filled ups about 5 spiral notebooks with lyrics. I was getting very good as a young rapper but my production was still lacking. At this point I knew about 2 years worth of a 4 year music degree student, however I did not have the hottest sounds to work with. That all changed when I was blessed one day by my cousin Demar. He was plugged with a Mac Pro w/ Pro Tools installed on it and a boatload of fresh sounds from the Roland synthesizers he also got. I stole as many VST's and samples and sounds and drum kits as I could and got to work. I grinded hard for a few years.Crafting my sound so that when you hear my records, you KNOW that is my sound. Just like my fav producers growing up like Timbaland, J Dills,Havoc,Dj Quik, Battlecat, Dr. Dre, Jermaine Duper and Alchemist- just to name a few.
Those guys were my major influences growing up and as I grew and evolved my sound changed too. In the past I would always try to use some sort of Mexican influence in my sound since Arizona is my home and I lived in East L.A. for years so I know La Raza. ( I have 4 half Mexican children) Now I simply make whatever sounds good or whatever is radio ready and catchy. Basically now if I can't whistle or hum the record-then the melody aint great and it is not simple enough yet. So at this point in my career I have worked with all kinds of artists both amateur and professional. My 2 biggest achievements so far are the records I produced with two different Billboard 200 artists- Eazy Money out of Florida and Bonecrusher of Nappy Roots. I love working with new and hungry artist who are open minded and LISTEN to someone who has more experience than them. Collaboration is the best!!!! I thoroughly enjoy partnering with an artist and coming up with ideas for video shoots and merch rollout. Im with it!!! I am also hungry and humble and willing to learn from anyone. I am willing to help anyone in any way I can. Feel free to reach out with any questions through any of my social media.
