Born a child of hip hop, Hollis P. Monroe explored every facet of the then developing culture. Starting out as a casual observer, he quickly became a contributor through break-dancing, djing, rhyming and tagging. Always searching for other artistic outlets, he found what would eventually lead to his true and final calling----beat making. During his high school years, Hollis was formally introduced to Prince via a friend's copy of Sign O' The Times and it changed his musical perspective forever.
