Formed in May 2008, SIMPLE SUCCESS is a remix and production duo consisting of members Kyle Vento (drummer, guitarist, producer) and Edgar Miranda “Dj Chop E”(DJ, producer), As a Dj and drummer collaboration the two are known for their extremely creative and catchy live performances and their uniqueness in the studio as producers. SIMPLE SUCCESS is currently unsigned to a record label and works independently writing, producing, and recording their own music. 

Kyle began playing music at a very early age. Inspired by his grandfather who introduced him to the drums and the guitar, he has been playing both instruments for over 10 years each. Kyle has performed with various punk/rock/alternative bands including Underground and Finally This. He is also an experienced jazz player where he played drums in his high school jazz band and studied jazz drumming with percussionist Louis Alfaro. As hip-hop was always a first interest for him, (Lil Troy’s Sittin’ Fat Down South – Kyle’s first CD) he became growingly interested in producing hip hop instrumentals. Kyle now is an active music producer (not only hip-hop) as well as a drummer and guitarist. 

Edgar, “Dj Chop E” began Dj’ing as an early teenager. After seeing video clips of his greatest inspirations Dj Jazzy Jeff, Dj Q-bert, and Dj AM, Edgar decided to pick up some turntables. In his early career as a Dj, Edgar would make Houston style “chopped and screwed” versions of popular hip-hop songs for his friends; thus his inspiration for his Dj name “Chop E.” The “E” simply represents E for Edgar. Edgar began Dj’ing around town for friends and local parties. He currently is the weekend resident Dj for Lucky Strike Lanes 1201 San Jacinto in downtown Houston. Inspired from his idols, Edgar is known for his keen ear for creating interesting mash ups and his solid mix between multiple music genres in his set. Being a Dj and feeling so passionately about music, Edgar grew interested in the production side of music. He now is an active music producer as well as a Dj. 

After meeting one another through Houston Craiglist posts, the chemistry between the two was unmatched. Now, as best friends, they have performed as SIMPLE SUCCESS for over a year and a half, introducing to Houston something the city has never seen before; a night club Dj/live band feeling. They have performed in many local venues and places around town including: Fitzgeralds, Java Jazz, Gary’s Spot, the University of Houston - Main Campus, the M.O Campbell Center, Club Glo, the Contemporary Arts Museum and Numbers. 

Their debut remix and collaboration album is set to release in the summer of 2010. The CD will include their remixes and also musical collaborations with other various artists and musicians.
