Dae: Nothing much just got home... about to get ready to do some work
Esco: The Renaissance Guy!!
Dae: I know... Do you know how many times I've been called that and actually don't know what it means exactly...lol
Esco: I've been seeing the company name pop up a lot lately... What is the company and What do you guys do for those that don't know who you are?
Dae: Yeah man it's coming together!!!! we're working!!! ((((evil laugh))) lol nah... The company is The Klasix... it's a team of producers and artists. We make music...very well...and outside of that I do photography and artwork... and things of that nature
Esco: The Renaissance guy.... the man mastering many hats!!!
Dae: I figured that's what it meant... lol
Esco: Where are you from?
Dae: Newark Jersey! born and raised
Esco: Ok, Where did you get your start?
Dae: hmmm I started out doing music back in 2000. I use to dj and I use to make Jersey club music with my team Brick Bandits. I was that guy who taught himself how to do music and how to dj.
Esco: The best producers (in my eyes) started out as a dj
Dae: That's how I met Mic (partner in The Klasix). We both were dj's, we both went to Arts High School. We decided one day to team up becasue he liked my music and I like his and I always said "yo we gotta work together"... so... after years of bs... and just showing off we decided to create The Klasix... 2003
Esco: Dope, so The Klasix are a duo. How would you explain you sound?
Dae: I would say our sound is BIG, very orchestrated, very drummy, musical, syncopated, unexpected, adventurous. I think our music is a trip. lol. I'm a very emo musician so my music is very emotional. if that makes any sense.
Esco: It makes much sense to me... what are your weapons of choice in the studio?
Dae: Hmmm good one... I'm simple... Im a reason / protools head... I tend to make the best out of sound... so rather it's fruityloops or logic or protools or reasons... The platforms are different but the person who's using it isnt...
Esco: Exactly... and do you or Mic play any live instruments?
Dae: No but we play like they're live... You know we get asked that a lot!
somebody actually argued with us telling me that we had a drummer... lol
Esco: by the way, I'm listening to "I Couldn't Help It" as we talk...
Dae: lol omg no! lol

Dae: My inspiration comes form different places. If you ever met anybody that have worked with me or work with me they'll tell you, I'm a scatter brain or I'm weird or I think a lot or I'm a thinker. All recipes for great music.
