E-dubble – Drinking With My Headphones On
———————————————–

Growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia e-dubble gained his first appreciation for music from his singing, guitar playing father. Weaving vivid narratives with sing-along choruses, classic melodies and driving rhythms, his father’s songs were influential in e-dubble’s future artistic endeavors. Being the youngest in a household full of music, e-dubble had exposure to a variety of genres from memorizing Paul Simon’s “Graceland” with his father, to stealing his sister’s Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle tape, e-dubble quickly gained a flavor for the eclectic.

Recording songs straight from the radio onto his fisher price boombox’s tape deck- his mixtapes sampled hits spanning artists from Tribe Called Quest, to Bruce Springsteen, to Nirvana, to Dr. Dre. It was around this time that e-dubble’s penchant for rap music, a genre still in its formative years, began to grow. Courtesy of his substantial stature and creativity he was able to work around the freshly adopted parental advisory sticker program, and take advantage of loop-holes within the cd-a-month mailer system; allowing him to build an impressive collection of his favorite rap music. Artists such as Warren G, Wu-Tang Clan and Notorious B.I.G. funneled through his headphones each night, providing an escape from the mundane world of homework. The array of musical influences from his childhood molded him as a truthful, independent artist; with a cognitive, lyrical style of awareness and a progressive instrumental sound.
