I started messing around with mixers and my parents' stereo and old record collections around '89, when I was still in high school. Bit by bit I got more gear, but still mainly stuff for playing music, not for making my own tracks. That all changed when I completed my college and university studies in the US and UK (especially in the UK -- where I was introduced to many styles of popular and urban music I'd never even heard before, and where there was a healthy marketplace for music production equipment). I would use a couple of casio SK keyboards, cassette deck (and a 4-track machine eventually), a Yamaha RY8 drum machine and SU 10 phrase sampler to painstakingly piece together my soundscapes. A whole new world of possibilities emerged with the purchase of an E-mu ESynth rack module workstation in 1998 and has continued since with a more computer-based focus. I consider my 'sound' to be dark, sexy urban music that focuses on texture to make its impact. My main production tools are Apple Logic Studio, Ableton Live, Propellerheads Reason, my Akai MPC1000, and a few other pieces of hardware (microphones, a Korg ESX-1, some other stuff) and tons of software plugin instruments and effects.

Hey Jesse wuz up!!!! hey I notice one of your influences is T-Connection one of mine's too, as matter of fact T and his brother are here in Los Angeles,Ca. I've seen them once at a studio in L.A. where I was producing a session. They do a lot of local gigs with many of the same people I worked with here in the L.A. scene.
