Killabeatz (Producer)

Powered by iSOUND.COM



Well, not much I can say. The artists I work with say I'm a jack of all trades. Naw, but I'm alright; not good yet but alright. The good thing is though I'm getting better everyday on these beatz. I have different tracks I work on which is more hardcore than the tracks I got on my space. Well, the more I continue to make music, the better I become. So wait until you hear the next wave of sound. This is just a warm up. Anyway, I have been playing the piano for 16 yrs and I started playing in a band at 15 yrs old. By the year 2000 I took this hip hop music really serious and started to make my own beatz. I was off and on at my craft. Different problems caused me to do it that way. People have said, "You going to be big if you keep it up." I was, in a different type of way, animation. My name came from the hood of Canarsie from the word "killa canarsie." I never liked the name "killabeatz," but it was stuck with me, so I had no choice but to keep it. “Tragiq” was my first hardcore rapper from Canarsie. He was the one who came up with the name. Most of my studio experience came from going to other studios and watching professionals at work, and asking questions. I worked with another producer named Ronnie, who is a very good a** engineer. I began hanging out with him, and from that time I learned a great deal about studio equipment, language, and skills. I’m originally a Caribbean kid born in Antigua and raised in Brooklyn . I’ve been through a lot living in Brownsville , but after a while you adapt to the problems while living with it, and living around it. I always got into fights in Brownsville . I eventually found out the cause of the problem. Guy’s girlfriend’s kept on asking me to draw them a picture because, that was what I was famous for back in junior high. But with that came blows to the face. Can you imagine that? I was all alone at that time. There was no one to defend me or guide me. I learned a lot from The Ville, but I also didn't understand certain things. Later on I caught on slowly. I’m slow when it comes to the streets, but I am a quick learner when it comes to the books. Planting my hand in their faces was the only thing I could do at the time to defend myself.
