Bio:
Residing in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Markfader grew interest in the turntable world a few years before entering high school. Never owning a set of turntables and a mixer, Markfader always looked forward going to his buddy's house and house parties, since that was the only time he was able to mix and scratch. Before mixing hip-hop, he first started with house and old school booty bass. Being very open to many genres of music, Markfader is heavily influenced by jazz & soul, which is highlighted in many of his tracks. Mainly a heavy software-based producer, experimentation began in his early years of high school. He first started writing and recording verses over loops of Madlib, Pete Rock, Sound Providers. But once graduated and upgrading to higher quality softwares, he then turned all his focus to recording and production. Late 2004, Markfader assembled a group, Antidotes ov Hip-Hop, with longtime friends who share the same idea of making music for the love and to give people's ears more than what they're accustomed to. Recorded many tracks in his in-house studio, his and the group's current focus is making a buzz in the scene. Whether passing out cds of beats and recorded tracks, or performing in venues all over California.

Q&A:
1. How would u say hip hop and basketball compare?
We all work hard to develop our skills and hopefully showcase those skills on the big stage.

2. Who's your favorite team?
Borat says Lakers and Antidotes is NiCcEeE so obviously I gotta concur with my boy Bo-to-th-Rat. I'll beat anyone in 2k7 with the Lakers. Get at me.
