      Basically I'm a solo Hip Hop artist from Connecticut, which in my opinion is an untapped resource for Hip Hop talent. I'm a member of the AFA (Antfarm Affiliates), which is a collection of Connecticut based Hip Hop artists.

     My style reflects the life of any real person living life the way most people do. We have so many artificial artists who just live their fantasy through their false personas or who are forced to fit an image. To me it’s a joke and in my eyes it just ruins the perception of Hip Hop in general. Artists just follow TV and radio to see what’s hot and pretty much base their whole style on what they see. I’m the opposite, I express what I feel and don’t worry weather it's hot by someone else’s standards.

     I’ve been writing music for over 10 years. I initially started writing in high school so I could perform in the lunchroom cyphers. I gained respect by always coming with punch lines that would have the crowd going wild. My first recordings were of me rocking over instrumentals on mix tapes, getting recognition for spitting battle type raps over industry beats. Over the years I’ve developed the ability to create songs with diverse content. My music reflects how I’m living now, things I’ve been through and the workings of life in general. My music is very deep and though at times I have complex rhymes they are presented in a way that you can easily grasp what it is I’m talking about.

          I’ve been on stages in every major city in Connecticut and have performed in many locations in New York and Massachusetts’s as well. My performances are live and I’ve been well received by every crow I’ve ever performed for. I like to incorporate the DJ and B-boy element of Hip Hop whenever I have the opportunity. Over the years I’ve been on many college radio stations, commercial radios, public access shows, open forums and can handle myself very well in any interview.

     I love Hip Hop music because of the impact I can have on People. There's nothing better than when someone tells me one of my songs helped them get through some hard times or just that one of my tracks is their favorite. I haven’t received any notable recognition or awards but my lyrics are on thousands of CD's and tapes just floating around the globe bringing real Hip Hop music to those who love it.     

      I have three solo releases. The first two titled “Stellar Evolution” a 10 track EP and “Surviving Life” a 15 track full-length album. Both projects contain songs dealing with a wide range of topics all stemming from personal experiences. The music in my opinion is timeless and to a new listener my early works sound as fresh as the day of their releases. I create music that will stay wit you forever. In ten years you can play any of my CD's and they will still be relevant.

    The latest project is titled "Journey Towards The Sun", another 15 track full-length album released in the summer of 2008.  The song "Our Dreams" off the album held the #1 spot four weeks straight on a Local Hip Hop countdown "In The Cypher" on Connecticut’s top 40 station Kiss 95.7. Though my music has never followed the trends of the current time the content and message still manage to stay authentic while appealing to the mainstream.
