Raised in the Bronx, S.E.V. had began his career as an aspiring rapper looking to be the next big thing in the music industry. Strapped a book full of rhymes and instrumentals, S.E.V. would make demos with his longtime friend DJ L-SMOOTH using 2 turntables and a tape deck. Though this was their only means of recording at the time, they both made the best of what they had.

After completing his demo, he started setting up meetings with different people within the industry to review his music. SEV had noticed he was being given the same feedback from several people in regards to his production. He was being told that he needed to make songs with original beats so that label heads can get a grasp on how he made songs.

With this new information, S.E.V. immediately began to look for producers who could produce original beats for him. Working at a fastfood restaurant earning minimum wage, SEV knew that he was definitely not in the position of acquiring original beats anytime soon because the producers he met were charging outrageous prices.

So that is when he took matters into his own hands and decided to learn how to make beats for himself.

DJ L-SMOOTH gave him a beat making program named Fruity Loops, and told him that this program may help him with his songs if he learned how to use it. He experimented making tracks on his computer with the program L-SMOOTH gave him, and within a matter of days… it was like second nature to him. SEV was making beats like it he was cooking food!

Now it was time to see if the beats he was making were acceptable for people to spit over. So SEV started to hold listening sessions at his house and invited different rappers from around his area to listen to his material. After seeing the positive reactions from the people that he checked out his music he then realized that this wasn’t a part time hobby….but in reality his FUTURE.

While using computer software programs SEV put a lot of time in researching products and music gear that he felt would allow him to increase his sound and skill. So he decided to buy his first MPC 2000xl until he seen the price tag….. After he finalized his options, he used his entire tax refund and bought his first MPC 2000XL and ROLAND JD990 sound module……………

“I work so hard on getting my music heard, whether it be selling my albums in the street or promoting myself to the fullest at clubs and hip hop venues that I feel I deserve an opportunity to enter the industry –S.E.V.
