I love making music and creating visuals and
emotions with the music I create. No better feeling than having a complete stranger enjoy something you made from silence. My music has been
featured on Television for FOX in both the United States and in countries such as Brazil, United
Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada. Music from my
movie catalog recently earned a placement in
the short film Over Exposure. Earlier this year I
started my production company TAMBE Productions which features talented producers. composers, singers, and songrwriters from all over the
world. The vision of my company is to be in every
market ranging from Film/TV/Advertising/Video Games/Radio. Currently I am the #1 Global
Instrumental artist on Reverbnation.com
What type of band/artist are you?
I am an Instrumental Artist. There are many different
titles I have been given such as producer and composer
but I would generalize myself as an Instrumental Artist.
Tell us the brief history of your band.
I ‘m from New York originally and my early beginnings
consisted of making beats and participating in beat
battles throughout the Tri-State area of NY including
Manhattan and Staten Island. As my buzz grew I wanted
to expand my sound and not be known as a just a beat
maker but a serious instrumental artist/ musician and
producer. I started studying music and getting piano
lessons from a classical pianist and began to evolve my
sound. My diligence and hard work paid off as my music
was selected to be featured on Television. FOX played
my music nationally as well internationally in countries
such as Brazil, Canada, United Kingdom, and Mexico. I
later started my own production company and signed
singers, songwriters, producers and composers throughout the world. My vision was to have musicians united
who all shared the same passion for music as myself.
Furthermore, the vision of my production company
would be to have our music featured in Film/TV/Video Games/Advertising/Radio. In addition music from
my movie Catalog was featured in the Short Film Over
Exposure.
When did you start making music?
8 years ago
How would you describe your music for the public audi68 Independent Artist Magazine www.indieartmag.com
ence if they never seen you before?
I would describe my music as passionate, emotional, and
universal music. When you hear my music you can feel
the emotion and sense the passion. I take my craft very
seriously and try to connect with the listener no matter if
the music is emotional, fun, energetic, intense or sad.
Do you feel like you have changed your style from since
you first started making music?
I definitely changed my style! When I first started I had
a very aggressive vibe to most of my music. I listened to
all types of music but at the very beginning I definitely
was catering to more hardcore hip hop. However, now
you can get a universal approach when you listen to my
music and my music crosses several genres.
Who are your musical and non-musical influences?
Honestly this is a tough question because I listen all
types of music. In addition, everything influences me
with music, I can hear an artist on Pandora or be listen-
