Ahd Child - I make the music and sometimes I rhyme
Other folks pass through sometimes
影響
I grew up on hip-hop, reggae and soca. As I got older my tastes began to diversify. Now my bag of influences also includes rock, drum and bass, trip-hop, jazz, and house music just to name a few genres. There are not many individuals or groups that I consider direct influences, but whenever I work on a broken beat track, Bugz in the Attic is not far from my mind.

It seems that among those familiar with Ahd Child's music, the main expectation is the unexpected. When questioned about his sound, this is what he had to say:
"I guess I'm hard to classify because I don't really see the boundaries of genre as hard coded. I might learn something new while working on a house song and decide to use it on the next hip-hop instrumental that I do. On top of that, I push myself to experiment. Often I'll start a project with plans to change one specific thing I usually do. I think that is the key to keeping your sound constantly evolving and ultimately fresh. One of my musical goals is to bring a fresh sound to hip-hop which I believe has become stagnant in many ways."
A writer of poetry and stories from a young age, Ahd Child began writing and recording lyrics in 1998. In 2002 he joined the rock/hip-hop fusion band The Left as a lyricist and began to share his words on stage. While working with The Left, Ahd Child began to educate himself on the musical and technical aspects of song making. By the end of the band's time together, Ahd Child had expanded beyond being just the vocalist and front man for the group - he participated in writing many of the band's later songs.
After The Left broke up, Ahd Child continued to educate himself in many aspects of music making - from production to composition to engineering. It was also during this period that Ahd Child began the experimentation with various forms of electronic music which eventually lead to his 2006 release, Meeting of Minds. Reverse Psychology, Ahd Child’s second full length release, marked his return to his hip-hop roots as it simultaneously showcased his composition, production and lyrical talents.
Ahd Child draws on a wide variety of influences that combine to give his music a sound and lyrical content that constantly make it stand out from the pack. The reggae and soca he was raised on in a West Indian household, the classical music he was exposed to while spending much of his childhood taking piano lessons, the soul, rock, and electronic music he discovered on his own as he got older, all of these elements can be heard in the music he currently makes. Ahd Child is accustomed to hearing variety, and when making music he embraces variety. The resulting product always ends up being quite atypical of whatever genre one is moved to classify it in. Anyone who hears his music quickly learns that Ahd (pronounced odd) Child truly deserves his name.
