Lawyer / Producer

My solo work is under the name Hulken
Ratchet and Crank is a combined effort of Matt Porritt and Myself.

Growing up a small town located outside the small city of Timmins in Northern Ontario, I grew up appreciating the finer and smaller things in life. I come from a long line of people who love to listen and play music, so it wasn't a surprise I followed the same path. I started as a youngster taking drum lessons for 2 years which was followed by guitar lessons for another 2 years. Eventually I started to get into the electronic music variety and began to dabble in dj'ing and then producing.  I've been producing for roughly 2 years now, and I try to spend as much time as possible doing such, especially when I'm not knee deep in law school homework. Music is a love of mine and I'm fortunate and lucky to have the chance to share my creations with the world like this. Check out the music and leave feedback if you'd like. 



With love for the culture that existed beyond the confines of a city known for being “dead” by its inhabitants, Skinny Steve is ready to explode and push his sound to an audience craving new music.

Hailing from the frozen north in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Skinny Steve began creating music after being inspired by the minimal and playful beats of The Neptunes and J Dilla. Born at the right time to witness artists like Kanye West and Timbaland begin their ascents into production powerhouses, and belonging to an age class that includes talented Canadian producer KAYTRANADA, Skinny Steve decided it was time to send his music into the ears of the world.

 

“I didn’t like the songs I was hearing on the radio,” he says. “They sounded repetitive after a while, and I wanted to hear something new. I wanted to do it myself.” The end result was 2017’s Takeover. Featuring established Edmonton artists, Skinny Steve’s release brought aggressive raps, soulful beats, and the industrial ethic that only an Edmontonian brings to the table.

A love for hip-hop, R&B, pop, and electro makes him a DJ and musician to be reckoned with. 2017’s wave brought hot artists to the table – Skinny Steve leads the way for a new generation of talent.
