I started rapping in October of 1992, when a friend of mine told me to "kick a rap." Since that time, I have used music to express myself, whether it's about having fun "Playin' a Little Basketball," talking about work in a fun way when I'm "Chilllin' at the Papa," or talking about work in a more serious fashion in "I'm Not Built For a 9 to 5," or continuously showing respect to my mother who passed away from cancer in 1994, or I'm being thankful to everyone who has made a difference in my life in "Lift Me Up."
I have used lyrical expression to learn about myself and life, and I am tremendously thankful for where music has taken me. I have made friends, and had experiences that I would never have been able to have otherwise. I've slept in my car, been to all sorts of new cities, lived off of a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter for 4 days, and woken up in some beautiful places.
I play all of my own instruments, including a Yamaha DTXpress electric drum kit, a fender musicmaster short neck bass, a Yamaha PSR-510 keyboard, and an electric hollow body guitar that is a replica of what Elvis used. I started playing those instruments in 1999. When I recorded "Intro To My Mind" I could only use my keyboard as a beat machine. That's why all of the albums since have sounded significantly different than "The Weightlifin' Jam." I definitely grow musically with each release, which is why I feel like my newest stuff is always the best. I'm very happy with "31 Hours Til What?" which took over 3 years to record, and deals with the uncertainty of life, and how I approach it. Enjoy!
