So here's the deal. SEE MORE is a beat-makin' rapguy who engineers, mixes and designs his own stuff. He works with other folks in various capacities. SEE MORE records albums and makes beats for himself and others in his studio, LUV 'N' DEDICATION.
As a lyricist, beatboxer and percussionist, SEE MORE is always up to rock a show. Whether with a band, dj or even one guitarist, SEE MORE pours heart and soul like a stiff drink to audiences anywhere he performs. It might burn but, it sure is fine.
About me: www.myspace.com/seemoremusicpeep the newest joints,"The Tragic Fix" and "TAKE YOU THERE" with INSIGHT as well as some other new joints like Arhcitextual Design's "Pyramids" and Crumbs in my Butter" and get ready for saturday's plans with "couldabinennethin". ENJOY.
SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE. Lyricist, Poet, Producer, Engineer, Graphic Designer, Visual Artist, Visionary, Actor, Social Engineer, Thinker, Lover and one hell of a cook.
THEN:
Ol' SEE MIZZAH-MOh-MOh has been loopin' threads of sound, unloopin' loop holes, keepin' backs of bullshitters and evildoers knotted and untying brain knots while havin' the backs of unique, passionate and love aspiring individuals for about ten years or so now. Well, some of that he's been doin' a bit longer...but the Music has been flowin' steady since his freshman or sophomore year of high school in his Minnesota hometown of Cottage Grove.
SEE MORE migrated to Minnesota's Lovely capital of St. Paul in 1997/'98 with his make shift studio of some old computer equipt with the the first version SONIC FOUNDRY ACID(at the time still new), a sixteen track mixer, some hand drums, some old back alley turntable and a ROLAND DR. GROOVE 202 to continue his research in sound, soul and mind as an independent artist workin' only to support his habit of whispering music and poetry into the quiet minds lost in the desolation of americas media torrents and aftermath...Giving away tapes to those "highlighted" by his minds eye and workin' in the lab like breathing, living almost hermitized like a warrior monk, weilding word and gritty samples as he walked the land in search for truth, a good place to ponder, something moving, open minds, awe inspiring sky and a good party.

Some time at this passed and SEE was lead to Chicago in 2001 where his incubation period yielded a SEE MORE hungry for the stage, not just the studio. Chicago was the place for it. Open mics abound, he had no trouble finding the right places to express himself or the people to collaborate with. This was the hayday of MENTAL GRAFFITTI at THE NOTE and POLYRHYTHMIC'S set at the TRACE LOUNGE (mental Graffitti can be found at the FUNKY BUDDHA on Milwaukee now, and POLYRYTHMIC is still kickin' at TRACE on Clark). There he met ANACRON who would later produce his 3rd album METACINE, which was lost for some time and is still yet to be released.
All the while finishing MUSIC OF THE SIDDHI and gettin' a few advance tapes out there unitl later, when he started sellin' it on CD on the street and at open mics like the sets at SQUARE ONE. There he cooked for a while and found another stewing and sizzling community of artist's that included people who'd become collaborators and close friends, ITCH 13, DAN SULLIVAN and IDRIS GOODWIN to name a few.

NOW:
So fast forward a little bit and here we are. The crew Fly Fisherman has formed(don't tripeven a little bit...they on a fishin' trip) with ITCH 13, SULLY and MELEK YONIN, SEE MORE has contributed production and engineering to IDRIS GOODWIN's self titled album, has been featured on ITCHIE FINGERS' ITCHIE FINGER-PUPPET SHOW, has released his latest solo ep BEATBOX VIGNETTES, beatboxed and percussionized for THE LUNA BLUES MACHINE, Led his band SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE and The New Avengers for a shot while, is workin' at THE CRIB COLLECTIVE with young people in Lawndale to release a compilation, performs with another crew, The Movement consisting of Statistical Error, Insight, Paris D. and Mike C, and works with his guy AQUIL as A TO SEE.
A to SEE is currently cookin' up an album and rockin shows. The Fly Fishermen are workin' on new tracks in the studio, The Collaboration with INSIGHT is really taking off, and there's even a whole new face of solo styles creepin' into the world around you.
In a nutshell, SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE is coming for you, and that's a good thing. Check him out, you'll never regret seeing more perspective.
