Mista 808
Many artists struggle to establish their musical identity, laboriously trying on different musical styles like a piece of clothing, looking to find what fits. But there are others that emerge fully formed, in full command of their craft, their identity and their music. Mista 808 fits firmly in the latter category. His collection of over 3,000 different instrumentals include beats from almost every single genre imaginable!
A California boy who grew up in Sacramento, Mista 808 played piano as a child, but didn't take music seriously until he was in his early 20’s. He explains, “I found out about software available where you could record your own music "Pro Tools & Reason.." etc., and it took my interest in music production to another level." He continues, "I also wrote poetry quite a bit as a teenager and that developed into a passion for recording vocals to my own beats that I created.”
Today Mista 808 spends 40 or more hours a week perfecting his craft. He is ranked in the top 100 on ReverbNation.com in the "Hip-Hop" category, and his hit single "So Seductive" has over 2 million views on Youtube.com.
