Whats up people? My name is Damien Banks, I've been in Oregon pretty much all of my life. I grew up listening to all kinds of music . When I was young it was mostly rock n roll and blues, but in the late 80's and early 90's when west coast hip hop took a full swing I was amazed. The smooth melodies of the piano with hard hitting drums blew me away. I new right then this was the music for me. Even though most of my friends were listening to metal and punk rock, I never did let hip hop go. I started off rhyming every now and then but as time went on I slowly gave up on rapping..... I wanted to take a different approach. After listening to just the raw tracks while others were rhyming I new I wanted to make beats. I've been involved with lots of music for a while but now I make my own tracks and still sharpening my craft. In the future my goal is to have a small company that sells beats and has affordable rates for studio time. Oregon and the whole northwest has so much talent that is passed up by the big labels. I've be listening to and supporting it for years and I've heard the true skill that most of these MCs have. With each others support, one day Oregon will truly be recognized.....
I am looking for any MC's that need beats, or if you have your own beats and need to record a demo. When it comes to my style, I have somewhat of an underground feel. I like to do west coast beats. I use a lot of the original piano. I like to keep my sounds as natural as possible. I stay away from samples and keep everything original..... It don't really matter your style, I am willing to work with anybody. I left the tracks open enough for you to add your own fillers and stabs when your vocals are laid. You may want a drum breakdown or change up also. All material has copyright protection.
