Hi. My name is Joe. Some people call me Joey G. and to some I'm STRANGER4LIFE, (S4L for short). The S4L thing was a screen name from years ago that just kind of stuck. And I kinda like it so I decided to keep it. 

What am I doing here? Well, I stumbled across Soundcloud a few years back. I was looking for a way to record myself playing guitar so I could track my progression. I hadn't picked up a guitar for over 15 years at that point. I put it down when I got to college. I brought it along with good intentions but I quickly learned that playing football and playing guitar was a challenge I did not anticipate. Between the lack of free time and the daily mashing and mangling of my fingers playing ball, well, you get the picture.

Fast forward a decade and a half. No more football. Lots of free time. One day I'm out in the garage and there's my guitar case. How'd that get out here? Who put my Strat outside?!? (My wife) And more importantly, why?!? (No respect for my things)So I thought, I'll show her! From that day forward I was on a mission to teach myself how to play. Again. Again? Well, maybe not again. But considering all I ever really knew was how to play a few chords that a buddy had shown me when I was in High School, yeah, I had a LOT to learn. 

Slowly, but surely, I made progress. Atleast I think I got better. I still don't know "theory" and I still need to use an electronic tuner before I play. But, hey. I'm having fun! And every now and then I actually catch myself and record something half decent. Those are the public tracks that some people actually listen to, like, and even download for future listening!

Josh Cooper from Dresden (Germany) is only 24 years old. He bought his first technics turntables in 2012 and started a big collections of vinyls.  But the first one he got, wouldn't be a typical hip hop vinyl. Instead he first got into electronic beats. 'Fat Fenders', his favorite store to get all his vinyls, would fast become his new 2nd home. In early 2014 he fell in love with trap, when he attended a Hip Hop party in Leipzig. 
Already in his teenage years he spent his weekend nights dancing in Dresdens hottest clubs to Hip Hop beats and Bass Music. It was just a question of time that he would get back to his passion about Hip Hop music, which he now mixes with his new love trap. His first live sets on Soundcloud are truly enjoyable and become more and more famous.
