My name is Pedro Prats AKA P-Squared(P2) and I am the founder of Drop and Roll Records. Drop and Roll Records is a label that deals with experimental music. Everything from Jazz Fusion, Avant Garde Jazz, Prog Rock, Reggae Dub, Ambient Electronica, IDM, Jazz Electronica and everything in beetween.I am a Musician/ Bass Player/Composer/Sound Engineer/Designer and label owner. My formal studies started with a BA in Popular Music for Electric Bass at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. I received a Scholarship to go to Berklee College of Music in 2006 where i completed a double BA in Jazz Performance for Electric Bass and Electronic Production & Sound Design, which was a life changing experience for me. In 2011 I came back to Puerto Rico where I  just kept on with all the projects I had at home like The Jabali Orkestra, Pedro Prats Trio, Fijty-Ston, Sevun Ate 7, P-Squared Dub Collective, among others. I also started teaching Sound Engineering/Music Theory at the Colegio de Cinematografia, Artes y Television in 2012  for 5 years. I received my Avid Pro Tools Certification during those years, which was another goal I was able to obtain. Im currently completing my Masters Degree in Composition and Music Education at The Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. 
     My electroacoustic projects are based on a Jazz/Jam Band format and/or Improvisational Reggae Dub. Besides being a Bass Player I also had a DJ project called Sevun Ate 7. This project released 2 EP’s and a couple of singles & mixes.
     In the last 3 years ive been working much more in the studio; mixing, mastering and  designing sound with analogue synthesizers than playing live. I released my first 2 solo albums in 2016 and 2017 called “Aka P-Squared Vol 1 & 2” on Rodz Town Records. Currently i’m working on my first solo jazz album and my third solo electronic album that will be out on Drop and Roll Recs. I've recently released a couple of singles from that upcoming electronic EP called "Creature of Habit EP"so be on the lookout for a lot of music! Were' just getting started over here.
