Why I got into music: 
 I come from a family that was very into music. Dad was in the church choir and my sisters sang and played various instruments. My parents have tons and tons of vinyl's and were always playing the 60's 70's and of course the 80's music. 
 I was introduced into hip hop with snoop dogs doggystyle album. I remember playing what's my name over and over and over amazed at the thick synth sounds blended flawlessly with the drums and bass to create a g funk style of music that just blew me away. From there it was 2pac, Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Warren G, cube, the true Originators of that west coast sound. From the Game now days to Jay Z I basically enjoy a great verse. 
 The music I create is a representation of me. It REALY can not be put into a box of a single definition because there were so many musical influences in my life and they all shine through in my music. From techno, to hip hop, to classical, even rock and roll, I blend it all together to create me, Matthew Douglas.
