Su 2Fingaz Rap and Pop Artist 2Fingaz is an ordinary guy with extra ordinary talents. He is one who experiments with all genres and makes music for all people. Born Tommie Curtis Sample, IV, in Long Beach, California and to a long line of musicians, it didn't take long for 2Fingaz to grasp his family’s musical roots. With the knowledge of sheet music, he then taught himself how to play the piano as well as the alto sax. At the age of 12, he started to create and compose his own music. He later moved to Memphis, TN where he was abducted into the Stax Music Academy. It's here where he really got in touch with his musical talents and composed his first in-studio original instrumental. While producing a beat one day at the academy, Recording Artist Isaac Hayes walked into the composition lab. Impressed by the young musician, Isaac left with a few words, "keep up the good work. son". From that moment on, the only thing on his mind was engineering and producing number one hits. Inspired by dynamic producers such as Ray Charles, Wolfgang Mozart, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, & Kanye West, he strived to be better. Working and networking with people in the Music Business, 2Fingaz began to travel across the country producing others and distributing his own music. Now as a noted producer/ engineer/writer/recording artist, he works everyday building his legacy with aspirations of being one of the greatest. He is one who experiments with all genres and makes music for all ears. Producer/song writer/sound engineer/DJ and just raps for fun. 14 SmokinUnderground.com
