Half-Canadian, Half-German, Green-T is probably best known as the frontline MC and lyricist of ASM alongside FP, but he made his start in the music world as a DJ and producer. Green’s first HipHop/Funk/Soul mixes were released on Smixtapes in Germany in 1999, and he continues to put out deep, eclectic mixes and spins funk, reggae, soul, and hip-hop at successful club nights all over Germany and the UK. Swaying between Leeds, Oxford and Frankfurt for some years now, Green has expanded his creative horizon to include his own unique form of heavily jazz-inspired hip hop production and discovered his passion for the written word and the mic, which has since taken him all over Europe as a live performer and recording artist.
....
In 2004, Green became a co-founder and co-owner of ASM Productionz and has featured on every ASM release to date as an MC and/or producer as well as being an original member of the ASM/Chase the Devil DJ team. Green has performed in 8 counties to date, and has shared the stage or worked with likes of Pharaoahe Monch, Masta Ace, J-Live, Aloe Blacc, DJ Vadim's One Self, Wax Tailor, Foreign Beggars, Skrein, Kidkanevil, DJ Format, 4Hero, Percee P, Peanut Butter Wolf, to name a few.. His knowledge and passion for musical genres from jazz and soul to old school hip hop and post-millennium independent rap shines through in his lyricism and flow-patterns as do his poetic imagination and introspective thought-tangents. Shifting paradigms in a positive state of mind, Green-T epitomizes the ASM vibe both musically and as a live performer.
