I started playing the guitar when I was 15 and did not start rapping seriously

until I was 16 years old. I was always walking down the hall thinking of rhymes or making a beat in my head or on my desk at school. I liked all different kinds of music so my rap style is very diverse. I bought an 808 and started making beats.

I spent hours on that thing. I was always intrigued by music, there

was just something about it that made me feel so good. I made my

first rap song when I was 18, it was a little rough because I knew nothing

about recording and sound. I then started studying music and music

production. I taught myself how to play the guitar, bass, drums,

keyboard, how to mix records, MC, and DJ. I bought all the instruments

I could. I would rather make music than watch T.V. or chill any day.

It can be frustrating at times but I am always pleased with the end

result. Music keeps me alive and is my life. Most everything I do is

based around music. I went to G.A. Southern and became interested in

techno, drum and bass, house, deep dish, trance, break beats, jungle music, and mixing. When I left Southern and came back to the A

town (Atlanta G.A) I started making money by DJing at bars and clubs. I grew up on urban and rap music, so it was just in my blood. I loved everything about it, it had a beat that you could dance to and it just made you move. My biggest influences are Outkast, Jay-z, Goodie Mob, BIG, Pac, Run DMC, Dr Dre, Tribe Called Quest, Talib Kweli, NAS, Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Eagels, Greatful Dead, Wide Spread, Beatles, Bob Marley, Sublime, BlindMelon, 311, Ray, Grath Brooks, all Motown, Techno, house, trance, blues, Jazz, and Miles Davis. I used to play with my moms vinyl and

try to scratch over Beatles and The Temptation records. My friend Mark and I used to

just listen to records and make music for hours every day. I looked

forward to doing it every day and never got bored with it. By that

time I had a mixing board 3 guitars, a drum kit, two technics turn

tables, vestex mixer, a PA, the 808 beat machine, and a computer to

run software and tons of speakers. I started collecting vinyl around this time and just

loved the sound it gave off. I used to just listen to

records all night long. I would not just listen to the music I would

count the drum beat, separate all the instruments in my head and would

try to figure out what they were doing to make their music sound like

it did. I studied music for about 5 years and have not stopped yet.

There is always something new to learn about music. When I was 22 and DJing in Buckhead at clubs, I got caught up in the night

life and postponed my music career, but was DJing at some of the most

elite clubs in Atlanta. I was also still in school full time and had

a full time job. I went in and out of making music. I would get real

into it and then would be distracted by something that was going on in

my life. I didn't start taking music seriously until I was 23. I

started working on it more frequently and started getting better at

it. I also got a Motif keyboard when I was 23 and started using it

the way it should be used. I started hanging out with Tucker and Mark

about everyday when I was 23. We all evolutionized through the years.

I met Blonju when I was 23 and started making music with him a lot

too. I started doing music 5 days out of every week when I was 24. I

was working with all kinds of different people and meeting connections

left and right. This is when I started networking through music. I started to

perform (rapping live with a band) when I was 24 and then I got a real studio

and started recording people with protools. I bought a digi 002,a G 5

apple, Avalon, new monitors, new mackie amp, new mixer, more guitars,

MPC 2000 XL, tons of mics, and got my first mic that was well over 2,000$. I started making money recording people and interned at a studio in Atlanta. I started rapping with a band when I was 24 and made money

playing out at venues. I was making money DJing, recording, and

performing so, I would say it has become a big part of my life. I started

Fahrenheight Records 3 years ago. I am coming out with 3 new albums

in 2006. One with Big Tymer Tucker, 1 solo album, one with Mark

Rockwell, and Blonju. In 2007 I have Two albums coming out and I am producing 2 albums for other people. I have one album with Smoke and then my Solo album.
