RELATIONSHIP WITH LIVINGSTON: Livingston and I went to jr.
high and high school together. We both were skateboarders,
so that’s
how we grew to know each other. We would have skate sessions with
all of our friends. Then we both got into Djing and would eventually
hook up and have turntable orchestrations and scratch sessions. At
the same time, Liv was rhyming with a few other guys, so after a
while it became apparent that we work together, him and his friends
(Jack Monroe and Suspekt 7)producing and rapping, and me filling
in with scratches and cuts. Now we continue to work together and
are closer than ever. Livingston and I will be crew for life.
RELATIONSHIP WITH SUSPEKT 7: The first time I met Suspekt
7 was in Jr. High but he didn’t know me back then. I was in 7th
grade and he was in 9th. He was popular cuz he was in this cool punk
band. He was in one of my classes and he used to make fun of me.
That was my first impression of suspekt 7, but he denies it even
happened. He went to a different High School so I didn’t get
to know him until after I graduated. He and Livingston, and another
friend of mine, Jack Monroe, started rapping together in this group
called Apokalips 3. I would be djing at a party and they would come
up and bust out impromptu performances, so that’s how Suspekt
7 and I really got to know each other. Now were tight as hell and
hang out almost every day. Were always working on some form of music
weather it be laying down cuts, watching movies for quotes, or bouncing
ideas of each other. Suspekt 7 and I will be crew for life.
A LITTLE ABOUT KRAZY KUT: I was born and raised in the same
house, and I still live there. I have 3 older brothers who
have influenced me in every way. My parents are the best
parents ever. My mom raises
little infants till there ready to go to school, and my father
teaches calculus and other math at a local High School as
well as shapes
surfboards. I grew up skateboarding, so I was exposed to
a lot of different music in the videos. I grew up listening
to mostly rap
and punk/metal music. My older brother Tyler has also had
a huge influence on my music knowledge and tastes. I was
first drawn to
Djing because I saw a shiggar fragar show video and I just
wanted to be able to scratch like them. I scratched for about
4 years without
focusing on much else, but now I’m mixing music in bars and
clubs doing the whole top 40 thing. I’m currently working on
recording a ton of scratch and dj tracks as well as do cuts for Suspekt
7 and Livingston, and myself. I’m still going to college to
get a degree in Mathematics and am working on music all the time.
I think that’s it. PEACE out!!!! |
