Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am a multi-genre producer from Connecticut, USA. My style is a mix of hip hop, dubstep, progressive, house, and electro sounds. I was always a musical person from an early age. I began playing electric and acoustic guitar around 12 years old. I studied Jazz Guitar methodology in college and I played in various rock bands throughout my life. Once I heard The Prodigy's "Music for the Jilted Generation"….my whole outlook on what could be done with music changed. I was fascinated by how they were able to create such great songs using synths and drum machines. I began dabbling with Fruity Loops in college but eventually spent about 5 years developing my own sound and learning the ways of producing music.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I have so many musical influences but here's a few: many thanks to such artists as the Prodigy, Crystal Method, Genesis, Bloody Beetroots, Incubus, Korn, 30 Seconds to Mars, Vince DiCola, RZA, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Just Blaze, Joe Satriani. Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Timbaland, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Daft Punk, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Trent Reznor, Liquid Tension Experiment, Bireli Lagren and life itself. As with life and with music, it evolves infinitely thus yes my taste of music evolves over time.
What´s new right now?
I will be releasing a few EP's this year and a few EP's with my cousin collaborating with me: Boyette.
