More About Me (as a musician):

I first felt in love with Hip Hop when I was in 6th grade in middle school, before I even understand English. the first song that brought about my interest was "Deja Vu" by Lord Tariq and Pete Gunz. Next time you know, I become curious and deeply interest in such music. I was deeply inspired by the rhythm, rhymes and words and overall sound of it. I started writing free verses and lines to beat by the end of 7th grade. During this time, I wrote some of the wackiest stuff because of my limit in English vocabulary and my limited knowledge to English overall. But as time pass by, my knowledge toward this field of work grew and I even started ghostwriting for a few artists when I got into producing instrumentals.

I first started making beats when I was Junior in high school. Even though my love for rhymes still run strong in me, I began to get into every aspect of the making of a song. And with my musical background in piano, guitar, flute, and a bit knowledge in drumming, I began investing these talents and my life savings into a mini-project studio in my mom house's living room (a.k.a my bedroom). It consisted of a 61 keys midi-keyboard, a computer, a Firewall 410 soundcard, and a set of M Audio LX 4 speakers that's barely working. After many attempts and failure and inspiration from other fellow underground producers, many of my beats are now being use in small scale underground mixtape from California to Washington State, and recognized by many big underground names such as KTP, LG, Ant Tone, DirtNap Production, Soultaker Records, and much more. And now even as a student in SFSU, I still continue working and perfecting my sounds, while steady selling and doing a few part time jobs. I hope that one day, I will have a record label of my own.
