There are times I compose a song in Logic, then break the parts down and play them, or other times where I just grab a few different drum samples or tasty musical digs and play them together. The sample banks have such amazing potential with up to 64 one-shots or loops that I can scratch. I currently use a Technics turntable, Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer, NI Kontrol F1 and a NI Maschine all running Traktor, basically all the Native instruments gear! I generally try to live my life striving for the betterment and evolution of humanity, so with practice, combining the skills of turntablism and singing seemed like the best way I could do that. My natural progression would be to make beats, compose music, and eventually start recording my vocals. We followed up that initial stroke of luck with three more wins in the preceding years in which time I also took the UK solo crown. Shortly after that we formed ‘The Disablists’ and entered our first national DMC competition, which amazingly we won. That’s where I met a pair of DJs who shared the same interests as myself. Around the time, I started studying music technology and ended up moving to Reading. Turntablism seemed like the highest level of skill to acquire as a DJ and I became hooked.
I actually started as a drum ‘n’ bass DJ but was quickly inspired by hip-hop and specifically turntablism. However, when I reached my teens, my music taste had somewhat changed. As a child, I was massively influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Growing up I had always wanted to be a singer. Well, it’s a pretty long answer so I’ll try summarizing it as much as I can. Tell us about yourself and how Asian Hawk the artist has developed?
