Bio
Flamenco guitarist, DJ, synth keyboard player, photographer, script writer, and filmmaker Hardboiled was created in Chicago. Listening to DJs and then seeing videos of DJ Qbert and DJ Craze win DMC DJ battles got me into the rhythmic mixing of djing and scratching. I began b-boying after that and took a liking to breaking to the most aggressive rhythm filled breaks of a song. It was on the journey of break dancing and DJing that I began sampling via an MPC 2000xl. Kanye West's mentor No I.D. had taught several Chicago hip hop producers techniques, which I learned from. I would find all types of music searching in libraries and digging through dusty Chicago record stores, I'd become influenced by artists who make their own unique music like the scorching solos of Zakk Wylde to the creativeness of Tom Waits and Bjork to the destructiveness of Rammstein and Lamb of God to the 808 rhythm of Lex Luger to the chordal melodie of Avicii. I was learning and devouring music and came across the only flamenco guitar instructional at a library and knew instantly I wanted to play it. So I learned flamenco guitar gradually on my own and from great flamenco guitarists of the world like Chicago's Mehran, Pedro Cortez, and Jacco Muller. This brings us to today. Hardboiled has brought together all his musical influences to create his own new unique style of music to discover.
