People who understand the importance of using one's mental faculties to the fullest.

The opposite of item #1.

"So who is Casual-T?" you ask.

"Casual-T is a lotta things," I reply.

"Oh yeah, like what?" you insist probingly.

"Well now, let's see..."

AS A DRUMMER, playing professionally for 20+ years, I've been involved in a vast number of projects, performing in a wide variety of styles such as Live Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, Pop, Rock, Orchestral, Opera, Musical, Jazz, Big-Band, etc. I am currently subbing on two very successful Broadway shows, Spring Awakening, which won 8 Tony Awards, including best musical, at the 2007 Tonys, as well as Chicago, which is Broadway's longest running revival, running for 11 years straight, and still going strong. So in case you need someone to lay down some tight beatz, live or in the studio, HOLLA!!

AS A PRODUCER I've been keeping myself busy for the last 10 years or so. I don't really know what style of music I make, and I usually don't try and sound like anybody in particular. Just listen to the trax at www.flatnosemusic.com or www.myspace.com/casualbeatz and if you like 'em tell a friend, and if you don't like 'em tell an enemy. I'm always on the look-out for unique voices, and artists that have something more to say than "ooh baby yeah yeah," so if you think you fit into that category, and you like my trax, let me know and we'll discuss a possible collabo.

AS A COMPOSER I am fairly new to this game called film scoring, so I am currently mainly interested in building a reel for myself, and by doing so helping you to build your own. This of course means that I am willing to offer my services for next to no monetary compensation, deferred payment, or any other compensatory arrangement we might be able to come up with to suit both of our needs. You can find some samples at my web site, which is located at www.flatnosemusic.com (or go directly to www.flatnosemusic.com/scoring_index.html). Go there, check it out, and let me know what you think. I'm always up for some constructive criticism, but don't be too harsh now, 'coz I'm sensitive about my shit ;)

AS AN ENGINEER I ran my own commercial recording studio here in NYC, Manhattan to be exact, for a few years, but eventually had to relocate since rent in Manhattan is nothing if not outrageous. The studio kept me pretty busy for a while, recording, mixing, and mastering anything from voice-over commercials and audio books, to whole albums with bands and such. It's been a fun ride, but I'm glad that I decided to put my own music first again. So for now it's drumming, producing, and composing, and that's about all it is.

Check out the web site, gimme some feedback, and holla if you got something to say!!

Here's what others say about Casual-T:

"Socially conscious hip-hop artist Casual-T holds down his crew by mixing self-produced bangers with an unlimited arsenal of lyrics gathered from dynamic and dexterous artists and MCs. Fans of the Last Poets will find this immensely listenable."

hey steve,



thanx a mill for your very kind comment. it's always good to hear that someone appreciates one's work. speaking of which... i like your movie, man, good stuff. keep up the good work, and who knows, maybe one fine day we might get to work on something together :)



btw, i see you like spirited away (which is also one of my favorites), so i figured i'd recommend another one of my favorites which is "hotaru no haka" (grave of the fireflies). it's very sad but very beautiful. check it out.



easy,

Hey Buddy!! It's been crazy at my end. My baby boy Liam is doing great. Needless to say, I haven't had time to do much with the music lately. I'm slowly getting the hang of it though. I hope you are well. It sounds like things are going great for you as of late. I hope it only gets better. I'm trying to get myself set up to transition into music full time. Gotta make the jump sometime or I never will. Anywho I'll give you a call when I get the chance.
