Fighting my slump

Born in 71 in Washington, DC.  I fell in love with music when my mom played records.  Stevie Wonder, The O'Jays, Lou Rawls, Luther Vandross, The Stylistics, Michael Jackson, Prince, Barry Manilow, The Bee Gees to Phil Collins, Elton John and Karen Carpenter had heavy rotation in our city apartment.  That's when I decided I wanted to be a drummer. Taking lessons during the summer and learing how to read drum patters and learn several percussion instruments, I was well on my way to becoming a up and coming drummer. By Jr High School I was playing drums for the school band and learned to play several other instruments by ear. Piano, guitar, bass and trumpet became a huge love. During this time I was heavily immersed in the culture of Hip Hop . I was a into all the elements..Dj'ing, MC'ing, Graffiti, and Break-dancing. My run as a DJ was cut short due to having a fascination with production. 
Utilizing all my musical skill I started to get into production equipment and purchased my first drum machine.  Through the years I've purchased equipment and sounds to build a strong library of classic sound and equipment some considered vintage.  This helped me to compile a heavy catalog of available beats ranging from Hip Hop/Rap, R&B/Sou/Neo-Soul, Rock. Pop. Jazz. and House. Currently over 700+ beats available.
