Michael J. Hossack (ghost808) has been in and around the music industry since he was born in Santa Clara Ca. Growing up surrounded by music professionals 

He began appreciating the classic rock sounds of The Doobie Brothers as a child, along with Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, The Police and many more laying the base of his musical influence. As the sounds of American music transformed over the 80's Hip hop and New wave also began to inspire the next level of his music. 

The Fat Boys, RUN DMC, The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Paris, Post Malone, Pharcyde, House of Pain, 
Blondie, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Damien Marley, Pato Banton, The Cure, Mixmaster Mike, NWA, DeLa Soul, Blacksheep, KrsOne, Wu Tang, Jeru, Gangstarr, Premier, Dilla, 
and Dj Qbert are just a few of the sounds of the 80's, 90's and 2000's that shaped the production and music styles Michael has been influenced by. 

 Infatuated with scratching and turntablism, Michael began to Dj at age 17 after playing drums in the high school jazz and pep band. Sampling and music production was the core of his technique for many years. Then later performing as an MC in a live hiphop band in Dallas, gave him the opportunity to test his song writing and performance skills. This was a wonderful experience that opened up his idea of playing guitar to enhance his personal production dynamic. Michael has since continued to create music as a passion and therapeutic way to express his audio art.
