I ESCAPED FROM NEW YORK IN 1999, I WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN AND RAISED IN "THE BOOGIE-DOWN" BRONX... I miss my days in NEW YORK CITY where I was born. Funny "everyone" in the city was from somewhere else, coming to the big apple to get famous, a piece of the rock. Leave their home in the burbs, come out of the closet, color their hair, be independant. I left cause I felt nothing was happening for me... maybe atleast I felt so. I saw the same people and heard the same shit... I lost friends because of sickness that killed. And gave my material possesions away. I wanted to start something new. I also was escaping my family and friends... Sorry, I now appreciate simple things, and not so close little people I met. I could maybe never go back, I have many new responsibilities and have to prove myself to myself. I AM A FREELANCE CAMERAMAN-DEEJAY AND I PRODUCE A LIVE ACT IN TOKYO NAMED PRETTY MILITIA. MOST OF THE MUSIC IS CREATED BY YOUNG RICHARD AND THE LYRICS & SOME KEYS BY NOBU.SOME OF OUR EARLIER TRACKS HAVE SOME KEYBOARD PARTS BY AZERU(A.K.A.
