Step your game up Austin, Texas! Da 1 Unv is Upping the Ante in the music industry. Born and raised in the '45' of Austin, this master mind has branched out in all directions and has definitely made a name for himself in the Live Music Capitol of the World. As the creator and founder of 45th Productions, he's helped discover, and take under his wings, many talented acts such as 'Prophit Camp', 'Shun Solo', and 'Edwin Sims'. Executing quality sound for his listeners, he invents unique material that accentuates his skills. “No matter what I do, I do me”, explains NV. “I don't try to sound like anybody else, I don't want my graphics to look like anybody else's, I create something unique for every listener and/or observer”.

Beginning with a drum machine at the age 5, this undetected entrepreneur grew into an avid beat maker and took hold of his visions at an early age. As he grew older, it was only then when he became more interested in creating music and began branching out into different artistry. Today, NV specializes in Music/Video producing and engineering, Graphic/Web designing, and Photography. Determined to maintain quality and loyal collaborations, this 'Jack of all trades' strives on incoming projects...“I work with anyone and everyone! I give and receive respect from everybody I work with”. Ingenuity and commitment is what NV is all about, and it's made obvious through the work he delivers.

Teaming up with his squad, NV has had the opportunity to network with many familiar names such as: Young Redd (Swisha House), Spark Dawg (Green City), Lil Ronnie (TBGZ), Zoel (Argentina), Gypsy Stokes (Konvict Music) and Paul Wall (Swisha House), to name a few. Also, The Back Room, Club Fuze, Troubadours, and Club Chrome in Dallas/Ft. Worth, are just a few venues where he has made his mark. In 2006, Da 1 Unv, performed at South by Southwest, one of the biggest music events in the nation. In that same year, NV performed at the 1st Annual, “Urban Music Festival”, at the Auditorium Shores with successful artists Ray J and Chaka Khan as well. NV continues to collaborate and extend his network with a variety of artists in the Metro area and surrounding counties.

As fans await (the soon to be released self titled CD),“Prophit Camp”, 45th Productions assures listeners that they will continue making mass productions of new mix tapes and beats, including releases of solo artists within the label. When asked what good things he expects to happen for him in 2009, he simply replies, “Only one person knows what will happen but, I expect success for everyone who puts they're all in it”. He concludes by saying, “If change is the motto for this new age, then I have only one thing left to say... A Change Gon Come”.
