Brief Experience :
Born Philip Chedid 5.14.83 - My father and his brothers left Lebanon during civil war and moved west to start a new life. Destination - the Island of Jamaica. My mother was born in Madrid, Spain, and was raised in Jamaica. They later united in America and I was born. In 1992 at the age of 8, I was introduced to electronic music through early house and eurodance. As a kid, I used to make mix tapes for my friends, wanting to spread the dance beat. In 1994, my musical studies went further with percussion. Spending sleepless nights on the drums, I developed my groove and learned new techniques. 1997 came the next music chapter. During high school, I was the drummer for Elemental, a group I formed with my brother and close friends. From Reggae to Metal, we experimented with different styles, and new sounds emerged. From drums I transitioned into mixing records and digital music, and now digital production. These days im working with Pioneer, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Reason, and Ibanez guitars. I have residencies in Miami, Atlanta, Montreal, and Lebanon. After making my middle east debut at District Club in Beirut in August 2005, I returned to America to continue production and live events.
