I got into hip hop through grafitti art and later saved up money for my own technic 1200s. Shortly after getting into turntablism, I began to get into producing beats with cheap gear and later made money to afford the real stuff, MPC, Triton and various other DAWs. I later began to move away from sample based production and picked up a little piano and various hand percussion, then bass and later guitar. I play the majority of my melodies now and use my turntablist skills to add that classic hip hop feel. I love music and art and try my hardest to practice everyday.
