So 'sup?
First of all my name is Aïrto. I was born on the 13th of October '85... I loved music ever since I was little, I grew up with music of all styles. I re-discovered music when I was about 16 years-old. Going way back in time, listening to music that kids nowadays wouldnt usually think of listening too... Think about the buttery voice of Donny Hathaway and the undeniable singing and composing talents of Mr. Wonder. I realised while listening to some of the memorable songs that I started improvising to the beats and melodies, change it up, sing harmonies and sometimes play some extra's on my cheap old keyboard... This helped me create my own style.
I'm floating in between soul and rnb. I love the true sound of music. No overpolished studio voices, I want too hear the rawness. Nowadays it's all about pitch correcting and about the image an artist has... I never had any musical training so I lukcily i still feel raw and unpolished.
There are two projects I have been working on in the past...
I'm featured on a cd called 'Bezigheidstherapie' - P-Yott
I also worked on a project with Belgium hiphop duo Nuff Said, I helped them on the musical/beat aspect...Make sure to check out their myspace to enjoy some good Hiphop.

Love from the Big Apple brother! Just an FYI... I made love to a woman listening to your music, she thought you had a sexy voice; so thanks for putting her in the mood for me!
If life were but a dream, my Love, And death the waking time; If day had not a beam, my Love, And night had not a rhyme, -- A barren, barren world were this Without one saving gleam; I'd only ask that with a kiss You'd wake me from the dream.
If dreaming were the sum of days, And loving were the bane; If battling for a wreath of bays Could soothe a heart in pain, -- I'd scorn the meed of battle's might, All other aims above I'd choose the human's higher right, To suffer and to love!
"A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
