Jose FLXsoundz Rios was born on september 22, 1981 in  Brooklyn NY and is the oldest of 5 kids . Since a toddler FLXsoundz was  surrounded by music . The sounds of 60s, 70s & 80s music flooded the walls of his home . As Flxsoundz  grew older the love for music grew stronger . Stories of his grandfather, who was a salsa musician, inspired him to chase a dream that his grandfather once had before his life was tragically taken away from him . So the journey for FLXsoundz began ! Growing up in the 80s for Flxsoundz was very inspiring . A new genre of music people called   HIP- HOP was on the rise and a young FLXsoundz was very curious . Flxsoundz became fascinated  to the unique sounds of the drums, snares and musical instruments that intertwined each other to make a song. As the years flew by FLXsoundz educated his self in the art of making beats , but he didnt have the nesscary equipment   he needed to produce the music he wanted to make .
 One day while Flxsoundz was hanging with his friends  a small neighborhood group whom flxsoundz had known invited him to their studio . This would be the first time Flxsoundz had actually seen someone create what FLXsoundz was in love with for years. That someone was Swanny Rivers. FLXsoundz was speechless as he watched Swanny Rivers push on buttons  and press pads on this metal box. As Swanny Rivers Pushed and pressed, sounds of drums and snares  flew out of the speakers and into his chest .  FLXsoundz later found out that" THE METAL BOX"  is what he needed. That metal box was a mpc 1000 . A few months later FLXsoundz mother (his biggest fan) gave him a mpc as a present. Finally acquiring the tools he needed Flxsoundz began making beats for inspiring artist in his neighborhood . Since then FLXsoundz has produced music for many local artist in Brooklyn N.Y. and most recently in his home town Lancaster P.A .
  FLXsoundz has worked along side many well known artists including  hip hop legand, Kool G Rap  . Flxsoundz has also produced songs for platium recording artist  Armageddon, a former member of the group terror squad, and for  rocafella records recording artist PHILADELPHIA Freeway . In NOVEMBER 2013  FLXsoundz  constructed his first instrumental  mixtape cd, releasing REFLXTION VOL 1 . Two months later he released REFLXTION vol.2 which outrageously exceeded the number of downloads compared to his first release of REFLXTION vol.1 . Flxsoundz continues to better his craft as a producer by creating his own signature sound with faith that one day the world will love his music just as much as he loves this culture we call HIP -HOP .
