Baltimore, Maryland
How does where you're from influence your sound + style as a producer?
Baltimore has a heavy and subconscious effect on everything I create. In Hindsight growing up hearing Baltimore club records probably can be a connection to why I love experimenting vocal fx. It also subconsciously may have influenced the way I think about programming my drums. THEY MUST KNOCK and give you an incentive to move your body.
What's your background?
I have been in music since I was in 2nd grade. (I’m 20 now) I first got into music by playing the clarinet for a local music program in Baltimore. This is where my love for music first started. I used to help make creative compositions for our band in middle school. This is where my love for creating my own music started. Not until my sophomore year in high school, is when I started making music from my laptop.
