My lyrics are my thoughts set to music.
(Check out my tracks in the media section!)
When making tracks, I go by the moniker 'ND', a play on 'Andy'.
It's me, simplified:
I rap about my life, my dreams and fantasies, and while it may not always be politically correct, people seem to accept it more readily when it's set to a good beat.
In my senior year of high school, I noticed a few kids around my neighborhood started to rap. They'd rap about their gang lives, girls they'd never had, money they'd never spent.
It was so depressing.
So I started rapping to express my inner thoughts. It was a humble beginning. Here's a picture of the first microphone I ever used, with a pop-filter I made out of a yogurt container:
Since then, I've taught myself the ins and outs of recording and production. Here's a quick run down on my tools:
Equipment:
- MXL V57M condenser microphone
- ARTcessories Phantom power
- Yamaha baby-grand piano
- Casio CTK-573 keyboard
Software:
- FL Studio 9 XXL
- Adobe Audition 3.0
I love collaborations and I've worked with and met many great artists, such as Magnetic North, MC Jin, and Loc V.
I also enjoy opening up my studio to other up-and-coming artists at very reasonable rates. I'm also available for production. To date, I've recorded and produced over a dozen independent tracks for various artists throughout the Bay.
