Bread was formed in 1969, when leading producer/arranger and session man David Gates produced Pleasure Faire, a band that included guitarist Robb Royer and songwriter James Griffin.

As Bread, the three combined to create a polished, melodic soft-rock style, which by their second album, On The Waters, unleashed the chart topping single “Make It With You.” Further albums yielded major hits in “Baby I’m A Want You” “Everything I Own,” and “Guitar Man,” by which time another noted session man, Larry Knechtel, had replaced Royer.

Bread’s smooth pop approach also earned them a stream of international hits and they toured successfully. Bread’s sound was not without an edge, but those immaculate pop hits overshadowed the group‘s compelling albums.

Bread was a highly significant group for Elektra as they eased the label’s transition into the 70’s by which time music was changing and Elektra, now part of the Warner Communications Group, reflected the more accessible, AM fueled direction.

Hello! I’m a beat maker hailing from the vibrant underground rap scene of Atlanta, GA. All my life, I’ve been immersed in the world of East Coast hip-hop, But for the past two years I've been crafting beats that resonate with the raw, authentic vibe that I’ve adored since I first discovered the genre.

My journey began when I stumbled upon a dusty vinyl record in my uncle’s collection. That single moment ignited a spark in me; I was captivated by the intricate rhythms and lyrical depth. I dove headfirst into beat making, armed with passion and a determination to contribute to the culture that shaped my musical identity.

Living in Atlanta, a city pulsating with creativity, has only fueled my ambition. I find inspiration in the city’s dynamic art scene, from bustling studios to intimate underground venues where raw talent thrives. My beats often reflect the grit and resilience of East Coast hip-hop, while adding a Southern twist that’s unique to my style. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, an invitation to listeners to dive deeper into the stories that resonate within my music.

Collaboration is at the heart of what I do. I’ve connected with various underground artists, exchanging ideas and pushing creative boundaries. The beauty of this scene is that it’s a melting pot of diverse influences, and I’m continually learning from my peers. I believe that every artist I work with brings a new layer to my sound, allowing me to evolve continuously.

In these two years, I’ve honed my craft, refining my techniques and exploring the vast soundscape that hip-hop offers. I’m constantly experimenting with new rhythms, samples, and instruments, striving to create beats that are not only fresh but also resonate on a deeper level. My goal is to produce music that’s not just enjoyed but felt—music that makes you nod your head, tap your feet, and lose yourself in the moment.

I’m excited about the future and all the possibilities that lie ahead. Each day brings new challenges and experiences that shape my music and artistry. I’m committed to pushing the envelope and bringing my unique perspective to the world of hip-hop. So, if you’re ready to vibe with some innovative beats that dance between the realms of East Coast grit and Southern flair, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s make some magic together!
