Ive been making sounds in Ireland since the early nineties. I came over here from San Jose, California where I spent the first eighteen years of life. I was lucky to be around the punk hardcore scene in the Bay. I spent alot of times around Gilman St and the Farm, and bands like Neurosis and Christ on Parade.......................................................................................................
I listened to alot of hip hop and reggae , Boogie Down Productions, Poor Righteous Teachers, Rakim. I like Burning Spear, Ninjaman, classic dub Augustus Pablo with King Tubby, Scientist all that space. I took the message of repatriation serious and headed over to Ireland to put down roots........................................................................................................
I came over here right when the dance scene was blowing up so I started DJing Hip Hop and Reggae but I had a sampler on my mixer and started doing loops and that took over. I could relate to heads in Cork who were into hip hop and we started a crew called Ar La, I started mcing and did production with my spar Buster and the original Run Run. Through that I hooked up with heads like Troubled Soul and Scary Eire, who are blood to thisday.................................................................................................
I came out as a solo artist and put out an ep, an lp, a 12" and a 7" I put things out on Equilibrium and All City two independents here in Dublin .
..............................................................................................
I mostly do production. I work on the MPC 2000 for years and I always got ideas so we keep pluggin away cuz we do and dont stop.
