FIFTHPLANE PRODUCTIONS BIO INFO:
I go by the name of THE KID aka THE MIX MECHANIC, (CEO and Founder of FifthPlane Productions) and I'm an aspiring Rap Artist and producer who has been into Hiphop and music in general since 10 years of age. I was born in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana where my love for music (specifically HipHop) began; and my love for music hasn't stop since then.
My involvement with music began in third grade when I decided to play the trumpet in my elementary school band. Being from New Orleans, I grew up hearing a lot of Jazz and Brass bands around the French Quarter and Treme Area. These bands gave me an interest and curiosity to learn how to play an instrument also. I feel that was the greatest step I ever took in my life; It gave me a vision and set a goal of What I wanted to do for the rest of my life on this earth: Be a well known performing artist and producer.
During the 80's era, Well Known New York groups and Rappers such as (RUN DMC, GrandMaster Flash, Fat boys, Curtis Blow, Whodini, Slick Rick etc) totally changed my goals from wanting to be a jazz player and Pianist, to wanting to represent Hiphop. In addition I felt the knowledge of music that I already had obtained, could be incorporated into all of this.
My first baby step into the game began with a group called the "Three Mc's", which was composed of me two other Cats I grew up with. Growing up in a rough and Poverty stricken City such as New Orleans, Our group could not afford to buy equipment needed to make beats or Technic Turntables to scratch with. So instead we rapped over some of those futuristic Herbie Hancock instrumentals; that pretty much got the job done of us.
The first song our group ever created was called "Who are we". Which we performed around different neighborhoods and our parents also. We also did a couple of talent shows and came in 1st place. The song got good response, but during that time Hiphop was not flourishing much down south. There was no record labels we could pitch our song to or any type of promoters we could contact to get our name out. And at our young age, we definitely could not afford to move to the "BIG APPLE" or Cali.
The "The Three Mc's" lasted for about 4 years and the Two other Members and I went our separate ways. Although the group didn't succeed as planned, it was a great experience for all of us. It was something we did for fun and loved doing it. We didn't really take it to heart. We were all still involved in band. So as long as we were occupied with music, we was all right.
