MUSIC PRODUCTION


Feels Duo- Foolish Too 2017
Second video from the Project called Feels Duo. This one I had a concept that was somewhat utilized in the video. Overall 
I think it came out great. The woman dancing came out far better than I expected. You should definitely check it out and 
like I said before, if you like this one you'll like the album. 


​
Feels Duo- Bigot 2017
In 2016 I met a singer from Portland that I clicked with really quickly. She liked my music and I liked her voice. So we made a record
together during the course of a year using synths and a drum machine. The collab effort is called Feels Duo and the album is self titled.
You can find it on itunes, bandcamp, spotify etc. If you like the video above, you'll love the album. 


​
Kool A.D.- The Natural 2017
The title track from the full collab album "The Natural" By Kool AD and myself stems this visual directed by Coolreve. If you haven't checked out the
album yet, you should. The whole thing is great, so great that we are doing a follow up that should be coming out no later than early 2018. I make a
quick cameo because I was working a skatecamp and I gotta make that doe lol. But anyways check it out. 



Kool A.D.- Word O.K. 2014
Word O.K. A great album. Kool Blessed the kid with a title track. Very dope indeed. During a tour with Busdriver, we had 
time to stop and shoot a video in LA before proceeding to wrap up our tour. While they were filming I went over to Future Music and 
met up with the Guitarist from Venice Dawn. LA is a trip. The homie is co-owner or owns future music or something like that.
We talked about the upcoming Souls Of Mischief Album soon to drop and what I was doing in the area (he had no idea who I was, just a 
music enthusiast at best). I hurried back to the studio and got the clip with Loren and soon after we were on our way. I believe we played the 
Roxy that night with Verbs on the roster as well. Very cool show for the rare individuals that decided to check it out. The video is trippy
just like the last one Justin Hanz did. 



Kool A.D.- Open Letter 2014
Kool is on a steady diet of laying down tracks. We did a lot of music last year,  a lot made it out to the public and some didn't. 
All the songs on the album that he eventually released on his own are fire. We shot this video twice because the original 
footage was lost. OOPS. Still came out dope though. Another classic for the Kool heads.



Kool & Kass- Peaceful Solutions 2013
The Kool and Kass Collab effort is such an awesome thing. Both laid back emcees but very different approaches. 
The Coke Boys 5 was done in a short span time and I hope you realize how great that set of music is. When this was made, 
I didn't know anything about it. I Send beats out all the time and this particular beat was chosen for a video and title 
of their first mixtape together. How awesome is that?




Kool A.D.- Here today Sessions 2013
It was Kool A.D., Loren Hell and myself in Europe causing havoc and ripping shows left and right. Our tour manager Yannik hooked 
this recording up in Copenhagen. I love that you can drink where ever out there, or no one bothers that you do. Anyways it was 
very impromptu and Kool killed it as usual, Loren Hell as always best visual guitarist in the entire world and I 
played beats on the mpc. Good times.



Kool A.D.- La Pinata 2012
"This video stems from a mixtape by Kool A.D by the name of 51. It's a free download so there's no excuses, go and grab it. 
My work on the mixtape includes this song as well as a few others. It was a pleasure to work with a long time friend and there 
will be more to come. The funny story that is behind this song as well as all the songs that I participated in came from Kool A.D. 
and our close mutual friend coming over one night to my house and Kool wanted to hear some beats. As always I'm more than 
happy to do so. I proceeded to play some off the flowers cd and he bugged out a bit and said "you did this? this is you?" like so 
 many times before people are flabbergasted as to the beats I make and the fact that no one, I mean no one wanting to collab 
in any way.. So he got hyped, and I got hyped and the ball started rolling. A few nights later we made 
Dum Diary, a classic in my opinion."  AMAZE 88




Kool A.D.- Dum Diary 2012
"So this record stems from getting stoned, being in San Francisco in a overly fancy studio, eating some decent Chinese food and 
Kool A.D. totally going off in the booth. I followed his lead on the MPC. I kept looking in the booth like 'Yo he's going off!!' When 
he came out of the booth we all had a wow face on. It was a first take on both of our parts and I felt blessed to be apart of it. I still 
do. He texted me a few days later about doing a shorter version. He felt like it was a little too long. I emphatically said "If you feel 
like it is then I'll record another one half the time than the original. But personally I think what you did was bananas and people 
are gonna flip when they hear this." It's classic material period. How many times do you hear someone going off like that for 
ten minutes? Never. I knew that it needed to be put out in it's entirety. So I kept pushing for it. It didn't take much, I think after 
a while he knew what went down.."  AMAZE 88


Flowers CD 2009
_
"This one is my pride and joy. Though very unsuccessful in the likes of not being able to sell one copy to a stranger. 
I think the cover is dope, the beats are on point and one day someone will call up and be desperately asking for a 
copy. If there is any time I get a glance at this cover it reminds me of the track destiny and how excited I was when I 
made the beat and how that beat alone pushed me to put the money down and make the cd." AMAZE 88.  100 copies made.


At Random Beat Tape 2009

"This beat tape was kind of me still going at it hard, doing a bakers dozen or more weekly and sending them out to 
rappers whom I thought would be hyped to use them. But some aspects of life get in the way and people don't make
 it to the finish line. So I made an internet only beat tape for anyone who was interested." AMAZE 88


Memories of Marvin Beat Tape 2010
_
"I wanted to do a tribute beat tape to Marvin Gaye by only sampling Marvin Gaye records. It took close to a year, just to 
get the proper records for the production. The original records were hard to get a hold of, once achieved the process 
was a bit tedious at times but mostly fun. I hope that you take a listen and appreciate what I was going for." AMAZE 88


Roy Ayers Beat Tape EP 2011

"These four tracks were suppose to go to a tribute website for Roy Ayers. I emailed the tracks with a small bio of who 
I was and never got a response. I waited a month before I put the four tracks up onto youtube. Doing something like 
this really makes you dive into the persons discography. It makes you appreciate and understand the avenues he or 
she took during their time as a recording artist." AMAZE 88


Beats From the Vault 2006 and Beyond

"From the starting point of making beats, my primary goal was to make classic material for great MC's to rock over. 
Plain and simple. I never thought how difficult it would be for people to actually come through on their end. Writing 
down rhymes and rapping is the easy part. Finding good beats to rock over is the hard part. I provided the solution, but 
these beats never made it out of the Laboratory. So I decided to put up all the beats I sent out to people that never made 
it anywhere. This compilation is the result." AMAZE 88




Various Collaborations

"This category will grow in the very near future. As for now these are the tracks that people have taken the time and bless my 
beats with some high quality lyrics. Each one has a story, each one means something to me and when I listen to these tracks 
I understand how blessed I am to actually be able to create music the way that I do." AMAZE 88
