Bio: i hate writing about myself (especially when trying to write in 3rd person for these sorts of things), so here is a bullet list of things that i think you should know about:
-grew up in Oxnard, CA...lived down the street from Madlib & OhNo.
-i was one of those kids that hated the piano lessons my mom forced me to take, but now that i look back on them...i still hate them, but at least i can use what i learned now (kinda).
-started making beats when i realized that my r&b tendencies weren\'t pulling in the chicks
-big computer geek, so miss me with that software/hardware debate thing. i like to use both.
-my first very beat tape/remix was a pausetape made using my parent\'s dual-deck karaoke tape player machine. (if you\'re old-school, you know what pausetapes are)
-when not in the studio, you can find me eating, watching anime, or playing video games
-how did i come up with the name \"Pauze\"? permutation of my middle name. plus, see the bullet point about the karaoke tape player machine beat.
