Beat Tape Co-Op - Presents The Foundation Producer Series 37 Introducing JOE90z
Joe90z
Was first introduced to hip hop at an early age when a relative gave him a cassette tape of Crucial Electro on the Street Sounds record label back in the 1980s. Since then, he has been hooked and would stay up late to record radio shows on his boom box.
As a child, he had to wear glasses and his peers would make fun of his looks, calling him "JOE 90." When he was younger, he hated this, but as time went on, he got used to it and turned what he considered a slur regarding his looks into his name for his musical endeavors.
In the early 90s, his main influences were A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and the Beastie Boys, just to name a few. Despite being a massive fan, he didn't start making beats until 2014. That year, he was very ill and after coming out of the hospital, he needed something to focus on. He had the mindset that a distraction from his poor health might lead to attaining a skill and his health might improve.
Joe90z use's Ableton Live and he has an MPK mini, and he recently purchased an MPC Studio. However, he must say that Ableton is his comfort zone when making music.
