I live in Bozeman, MT, US. If anybody wants to collaborate, I always would love to have someone drop a vocal track, bass line, funky guitar lick, or whatever else might groove. I make lots of hip-hop beats and would like to have people contribute verses or hooks. If you play bass or guitar, specifically guitar, I snatch up anything that sounds funky or has a wah (even if it's just strumming) and would like to work with you.
- Band or Group:
- Funk Junkie Productions
- Day Job:
- College Student
- Experience:
Quite a bit of experience playing drums in my college jazz band, local rock bands, jamming with friends, houseparties, etc. A little bit less experience programming music software but because I know my musical theory (from trumpet and piano lessons for years), I get by alright making my beats.
- Equipment:
ableton live w/ a midi keyboard, I also have mics on my drumset and bass guitar so I can play them into my computer, a vocal mic that I use for my trumpet or whenever I feel like embarrassing myself singing or rapping

YYEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH DUDE!!! you keep doin that there!!! know what i'm sayinnn
thanks mark
i really like some of your tracks btw, they could really make it into tv, have you ever thought about it?
No band, it's just me. If you ever decide you want some guitar or bass on your stuff that sounds like me let me know. (No way I can get my drums to sound as sexy or funky as your ableton drums!)
you're right... listen to the end of your 'fun' mix... very nice.
Mark, thanx for the feedback! I only had tme to do one remix so i chose Aviator, i wish i had the time to do them all, im a big K-Os fan and this maybe the closest i get to recording with him so i went at it hard!
To anybody looking at my page, here's my three entries into the K-OS contest for "Fun" "The Aviator" and "Zambony"

Having your bases covered doesn't include spamming my man. Get it right bro. I play the game the right way and I still win.
just wait... i got some more experiments brewin' ... a telephone i turned into a "gritty rhodes" type sound and a recording of a sonic boom i turned into an 808-type kick. i'm weird, i guess.
btw... i blame a lot on little time and money...Fuck excuses.
salut,
D.
hey i just voted for you check the stats and you will see. your remix is hot to def. can your return the favor?
nice piano work in the mix for sure, esp. in the verses, slick! the vox could be a little louder though. Check ours out, you got our vote. PS you CAN vote more than once, some people are saying you can't but you can vote for all the mixes you like.

U can only vote for one person, but if u change your mind you can just click vote on whoever you want. It'll ask u if ur sure and u say yes (whatever it asks) I changed my vote like 6 times now
Wow ur mix is pretty fly. Im waiting to vote untill the ende, but currently I voted myself. I'm probably gonna vote for someone thats close to making top 25 If I think they deserve it more than someone in the top 25 u know. So much spammiing (with people adding contacts for a vote instead of being genuine about it). IDK some people must think that winning it is most important as opposed to how well they sound.
never mind the earlier link, I just re-submitted my mix, here's the new one www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/3597
Hi Mark, thanks for your kind words. I love the change grooves at the end. Good work!
Thanks for the compliments - much appreciated.
You have a nice remix as well...I'm liking the chord progressions a lot.
Good luck.
To anyone viewing my profile, here's the link to my submission for "The Roots" contest. You should listen to it and if you like it, give it your vote. Voting starts on Wednesday, November 12. www.indabamusic.com/submissions/show/3449
Thanks! how long have u been doing the recording thing? I'm still fairly new to it and everything helps. again, thank you.
