My Biography:
I mix samples from various artists together and make them into new songs, much like artists such as Girl Talk and The Avalanches have been known to do. I take credit for mixing the tracks, but not for creating the individual elements that comprise each of the tracks. I have been creating music since the age of 10, and mixing since the age of 14.
I am a proud member of the Beat Geek group here on thesixtyone. :]
