Original Helsinki Space Rock Electronica


School Yearbook - Class of 1990

* DJ at house parties in the SFV as well as some very dubious Hollywood Teen clubs. (2 Technics and a mixer, 2 crates of records, and a love of hip-hop).

* MC/Lyricist - "Season Of The Vic" from the LP, QD3 Soundlab, produced by QD3 (I had dreadlocks & rarely wore a shirt, but I was all over the radio, MTV-Raps, BET & Pump It Up in high school, so fuck it).

* Signed by Quincy Jones to Qwest/WB at 16 (After 2 years of working with and learning from QD3 his father signs me and the two become mentors to me, off to a good start).

* MC/Lyricist/Producer - Debut solo album, "My Field Trip To Planet 9". (A classic in the UK, too bad no one told me, stateside I was massive in Boulder and a few college campuses).

* Singer/Lyricist/Guitar/Keys - The Justin Warfield Supernaut, S/T Debut album. (An endearing but confused classic rock/grunge/pop band which had we had time to gestate could have been great).

* MC/Lyricist - Bomb The Bass, "Bug Powder Dust" and "Braindead" from the LP, "CLEAR". (First of an ongoing collaboration with the man who would change the course of my life, Tim Simenon. Respect).

* Producer/Guitarist/Singer - One Inch Punch (Secrets Of The One Inch Punch EP, Tao Of One Inch Punch (Rising from the ashes of Supernaut, consisting of Gianni Garofalo & myself, signed by Tim Sim).

* Vocals/Guitar - Tape (Garage-gaze LA based band who only ever played in NYC & LA, was subject to a label frenzy, only to burnout after 2 great EP's and several years of blinding shows. Awesome).
