ERRatiK Studios

ERRatiK

Born June, 21st 1979 sixty miles south of Nashville in the small town of Manchester Tennessee, ERRatiK could be considered a Country Boy!! And being that he lived that close to Nashville, the Music Capital Of The World, ERRatiK was able to experience every type of music genre, Hip-Hop, R&B, Blues, Country, Jazz and Rock just to name a few. ERRatiK, however to the surprise of many, did not get involved in making music until he was nine years old when he got some of his first Hip-Hop album?s, ?The World?s Greatest Entertainer? by Doug E. Fresh, ?It?s A Big Daddy Thing? by Big Daddy Kane and ?Walking With A Panther? by L.L. Cool J, just to pull some from the list! ERRatiK got caught up in music regardless of the genre. Starting with Country and Rock, then moving to Old School Funk and Motown, and of course Hip-Hop and RnB. He began to work with friends by the age of thirteen trying to get a rap group together, free styling in the mirror and mimicking other artist raps when he heard them on the radio, MTV, or BET. ERRatiK was known for battling artist at the drop of a dime, and did not waste any time on showing them where they belonged in the game and where he stood. He has entered into many sideshow freestyle competitions and took first in most cases. But lyrics and free styling were not all that interested ERRatiK, he also liked the production side of things, but he was looking for his spot in the industry, a place to call home.

Wanting more out of life than what the city of Manchester and Nashville had to offer he moved to Texas in August of 1999 with full intentions on traveling the world. Over the next five years he would live in San Antonio, Texas working, any job he could get his hands on, so that he could make ends meet until he could see his path in the music industry.

In June of 2004 that path was reveled with a move to Europe. Once in Europe things started changing rapidly. He was bored with his environment so he had to find a way to entertain himself... Why not something involving music? He purchased a Roland JX305 Keyboard Workstation and began building his first recording studio. Over the next Four years he was able to meet and, in some cases, work with many people involved in the music industry while he traveled, including but not limited to, Sincere TPS, Casino, Talisman, Two3, Jacoby Williams, Dave Shultz, Chad Vaden, Lara Anderson, Clarence Shuford, Malcolm "Gritz" Wells, Bernice "Lil Princess" Cox, UnOrThaDox, Keith Murray, Busta Rhymes, Joe Budden, 8ball and MJG, and Triple Six Mafia are just a few to name. The game was changing on a daily, learning how to use programs like protools, Logic, Reason, Abelton Live and Sony Acid Pro. Constantly comparing the industries music playing in the states with the music he was producing daily. Bettering his skill and craft with every second that passed. Slowly building a network of artist and producers that will soon to be recognized as the strongest network worldwide.

In 2006 ERRatiK released his first Mix-tape "Demo Of Tha Decade". Not knowing, at the time, how the industry worked, he sent off for a few thousand copies and pushed them to the streets without ever registering his music with a publisher or sound scan. Not realizing his own potential he was shocked to see that a few thousand copies were gone in a matter of just a few weeks.

He soon started getting local artist to come visit the studio and get on featured tracks and noticed that his production was starting to get requested more and more. So his focus and priorities changed with the needs of his surroundings. With a new sound that he created all to his own things were starting to finally take off. With Production now starting to top the charts, ERRatiK started making his way up to the top of recognition.

In June of 2008 ERRatiK packed up and move to California in hopes of connecting with artist that would help him progress farther. After just one year in Northern Bay Area California, ERRatiK has begun to crate a buzz. Going for a House Hold name is no easy task but with Motivation Determination and persistence ERRatik has kept moving and has no intentions on stopping any time soon. ERRatiK has worked with or in association with Levitti (formally from E-40 and The Click), Keyshia Cole, Star Child of Parliament, Dewayne Wiggins, Dame Muzik, Asha, Chyna Black, AGEEZ, Laze, and is now working on a Movie Soundtracks as well as working with and artist for Walt Disney Studios and continues to keep pushing his way into production deals across the nation. With connections across the United States and now world wide ERRatiK is a person (More like a Movement!!!) to be reckoned with. His network now reaches deep into the Music Industry and continues to grow, yet he keeps a solid foot on the same pavement he has used over the years to pave his own way as an Indie Label in the underground.

While meeting Major Label artist as well as Indie artist from around the world... ERRatiK knew one thing for sure... The industry was missing something different something.......
