Music is a thing you cant touch but you can most definitely feel and Apple has been dabbling in the music business since 1997. Apple got into it more seriously four years ago, producing a diverse array of sounds from hip hop to broken beats to deep house. Apple music is heavily influenced by Apples African heritage which includes the Conga Natty sound. Apple always been way ahead of the game when it came to listening to a diverse selection of music, listening to sounds before they hit the commercial market, including hard core, jungle, hip hop, house, broken beats, rare grooves and not forgetting hi life. Apple started making beats on his Sony Play Station 2, Apples cousin introduced him to a programme called Music 2000. Apple use to make beats on there and then record them to his stereo and gives the tapes to my friends so they could rap over them. Apple didn't think they were anything special at the time but friends kept telling him to take it more seriously and that Apple had a talent. In 2002 Apples cousin introduced him to Fruity Loops and he started making beats on that, not taking it too seriously either. Apple just use to make different beats and experiment with sounds on the programme. Apple would love to learn how to use different music programmes but for now Fruity Loops is his partner in crime. To be honest though things started to get real serious for Apple on Boxing Day 2005 when he produced the underground track Dutty Dance for Supa D, it was an instant hit. There's nothing like being in a rave and seeing people go buck wild to apple track. Apple would have to say this is when he started to get real recognition and decided to make a follow up track 'The Siegalizer'. The Siegalizer is another underground track that he made in his bedroom, basically where all his tracks are made. Since joining 'My Space Apple have been able to net work with a lot of different artists and producers giving him the opportunity to play his music to a wider audience and receive fed back. Apple have had nothing but encouragement and positive feed back; receiving a high volume of requests for me to produce and remix. For contact info Email:apps00@hotmail.com
