Let's Build!
Cleph Knotes (pronounced Clef Notes) started song writting at the age of 9. Though he had talent, he saw it as no more than a mere hobby. It wasnt until his freshman year of high school that he realized his potential. At that time he was called 'Epic' and he teamed-up with another artist named 8th Wonda to perform in the yearly high school talent show. The group 'Armaggedon' was born. He began to grow tired of purchasing beats from local producers and using mainstream artist's instrumentals to make songs out of, so to end that cycle, he started beat making and producing. First used as a means to make a little extra money, this time around, its not for the profit; its not for the fame; its simply for the love. Respect will follow.
Not at the moment...not anymore.
J. Dilla (R.I.P), DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, The Alchemist, Soleternity, Just Blaze, Madlib....wow, really too many to name. I guess, its easier to see that music itself is the influence.
If I told you, would you believe me?
