I started producing music back in 1997 because my cousin and extremely talented vocalist, Diane Charlemagne suggested that I give it a go and hooked me up with some producers to teach me the basics. I started out with an Atari computer and a crack copy of Cubase Version 2.0 and later got an Akia 2000. I had so little knowledge at first that I made my remixes (pre-studio) by playing the arrangement via Cubase and manually mixing acapella's from B side's of 12" Vinyl's into the mix from a Technics deck! I moved out of Noah's Ark and progressed onto Cubase VST.
