- Experience:

- Statement:
What makes me different from other producers in Hip Hop and Reggae is the broad base I have in Music. In addition to the skills I posses in sampling and programming, which are common in producers of these genres, I add my abilities as a Drummer, Guitarist, and Record Engineer.
I have utilized these talents in live performance and record production over the past 17 years, and have been involved in the recording and producing of over 30 albums. Although it is almost embarrassing to use the term "producer" in a time where many individuals without any knowledge of music theory and very little experience claim the title based on the fact that they have a P.C. equipped with a cheap beat making software program, I must use the term because it is what I do.
I produce Records; I enjoy turning ideas into songs and songs into albums drawing from the wealth of musical techniques and devices that I have developed and learned through years of experience.
