MATT HOOD

MATT HOOD got started writing hip-hop songs and making beats after HIgh School in 2004, at 19, starting out as a young producer using FL Studio. While attending college in northern AZ he went to a studio session while his friends band sigma was recording. after that he left college and worked multiple jobs and always looked for a studio to make beats and record at, when he found a studio he discovered the Yamaha motif es8 and fell in love with the sounds and the workstation became his favorite production tool. This only lasted a short time and the studio closed down in the times of the recession. he continued working on fl studio and also found this site to mix his favorite songs on called "jamglue" which was basically editing and copy and pasting multiple tracks and layering them. after a couple years working he saved up some money and bought some equipment and started to Dj in 2010. That year he got into NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and was using Traktor Scratch Pro and a Technics 12000 MK2 and a Digital Technics turntable and a $100 Mixer. The same year he also started using Ableton Live and later discovered BEATPORT.COM to purchase sound packs and is now mixing on a RANE SIXTY-TWO! Now he is working on his hip-HOP MIXTAPE #LAVIOLENCIA and looking forward to some exciting collaberations!!
