Bio: My music career started like any other. I started playing percussion and brass instruments during my early school days. My interest in music eventually developed into a passion for breakbeat music of all types. My focus strayed away from traditional instruments and into the realm of sampled breakbeats.

I started producing music in 1997 for entertainment purposes during my initial dj'ing phases. My interest for creating my own unique style of sounds outgrew the turntable and turned my focus purely on creation. I now operate my own project studio as both a producer and sound engineer. All of my current focus is on Drum and Bass / IDM / Experimental. Currently I engineer almost all of my own sounds and manage all my recording and finalizing needs at Burnt Ridge Studios in St. Louis, MO

I have worked in the scene as a promoter, dj, producer, and graphic artist. My last major project with the help of MC Precision ended up creating the United States largest Drum and Bass website, simply known as Midwest Drum and Bass. We closed the site to focus more on our groups effort. We now operate a similar style site for our crew, Elements of Bass. I have also developed software and designs for such labels and distributors as Alpha Magic, Gain Recordings, Magic Vinyl, Invader Recordings, and many other various artists/labels.

I have also worked as a Drum and Bass promoter and have managed 3 series of club nights. MC Precison and I are co-founder's of Elements of Bass, a crew of Dj's, Producers, and MC's. Elements of Bass is also a 3 year running radio show now hosted on destroyer.net.

Bio: I began playing music on the trumpet and guitar around the age of eleven.  My influences were jazz, reggea, and rock.  About three years after that electronic music invaded my life and I began spinning drum & bass. 

Over the next four years I dj'd at clubs and events throughout the mid-southern United States.  At some point I began messing around with samples and virtual synths on my computer and this developed over the years.  A lot of help in my production development came from working on tunes with my friends who were into it.
