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!!!!
