The story of most hip hop producers used to begin with spinning turntables and years of being a DJ. This is no longer the precedent. The tale of producer Jazdout begins with years of sitting behind a music stand practicing the trumpet. Performing, studying and taking lessons with numerous private instructors in a time span of more then ten years gave him a musical foundation that is absent in most producers since the era of industry legend Quincy Jones. On this foundation producer Jazdout has begun to build a tower of burning hip hop beats and instrumentals each laced with memorable melodies and drum kits that are feared by the even the largest of speaker systems.

Producing and developing the sound of up and coming hip-hop artists gave Jazdout the opportunity to learn his craft, and perfect his technique. " Even something as simple as a beat is made up of musical elements. It's my job to make those elements stand out and work together for the artists and songwriters I work with. ", remarks producer Jazdout.The results of his efforts have been rewarding and essential to the artists he produces. MTV chose to close out its 2001 season of "Undressed" with a 45-second clip of the Latin flavored hip-hop track "Let Me Hit That" performed by Long Island artist Seldom Seen. The broad musical knowledge that has become the cornerstone to the Jazdout sound has also allowed him to chart into many other areas unknown to hip-hop producers. His latest musical ventures have led him to the production of an alternative rock artist and songwriter from Indiana and also into the danceable sounds of trance and electronica.

In the past 2 years producer Jazdout has become a contributing writer to one of Europe’s best selling music production magazines. The magazine, Computer Music, has featured his articles and tutorials about topics including hip hop drum programming, Digidesign Protools, and MIDI. During this time he also began an internship at New York’s popular Soundtrack Studios. A year and half of hard work led him to a position on staff as a manager, a position that he still holds.
Its is with out a doubt that street corners and record stores alike will soon be crawling with fans that have become addicted to the memorable motifs and impacting drum sounds of producer Jazdout's raging tracks.
