I’ve been crafting sound since 5th grade, back when I got my first tape recorder and started taping everything. By high school, I was spitting raps, then took it to Mesa College in San Diego—where I linked up with two like-minded heads and we formed a hip-hop trio. We dropped three albums, pressed vinyl, and I handled most of the recording, mixing, and mastering. We toured nationally and even took home the 2002 San Diego Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Album — Table Manners by Roundtable MCs.

After that, I moved solo to Los Angeles, where I worked as a ProTools engineer for artists like Brandy, Dub C, Brooke Valentine, and Gregg Ginn (Black Flag). I freelanced at studios all over LA, soaking up the craft from every angle.

Now? I’m laying down jewels in Fayetteville, NWA.
