Born Emmanuel Joseph Christopher Oxley, son of Marva L. Oxley, he was the last of seven children, who had dreams of making it big in the music industry.
Born in Oakland, CA on December 17,1978 and raised in the rough streets of North Richmond, CA. At the age of ten, he and his family moved to Rodeo, CA, which is commonly called today by many of the locals, SmallzVille. It was then where his passion for music and others associated with him began. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, Samuel Oxley, currently incarcerated, that he swore to continue pursuing music and to strive to become better towards his goals of becoming a successful music producer, and more.
A graduate of John Swett High School, he set out to begin he’s career in music. It wasn’t as easy as he had hoped. He started off with a small Yamaha drum machine that his older brother had left behind when he was sentenced. From there he was inspired by producers like Dr. Dre, and many others, and so he tried to copy their sounds with just a simple beat machine and made it exact, just by ear alone. Then he eventually graduated to a newer Yamaha, and tried to perfect his craft, influenced by new and more producers such as the Neptunes, and Timberland, he was determined to find his own sound. From a 4-track to an 8-track, his drive and his craft grew over time. Then from recording music in garages and 1 bedroom apartments, the time presented itself to record in a professional studio. It was then that he felt that his dream was coming a little closer.
After all the ups and downs, disappointments, fights, and arguments over music, doubt began to settle in. So he took a break, even thought about giving up on music. He went to school to take up a trade in accounting, but that didn’t last to long, because music was in his blood, and it kept calling. So he continued making music here and there in between school, till eventually he came across his cousin Malik who said that he has a studio in Oakland.
And from there he made songs such as, Octapussy, Pimping, Carry On, and Escada. Those are some of the recent tracks he has produced with the recording artist, Ponce Deli Lion. He has also worked with artist such as, Lee Majors, Dru Down, B-Legit, Priest, LV, Young Win, HardHittaz Ent., and Super Dudes Ent. With hopes of forming a production team, which houses various producers such as, himself, D, Jay Davis and more. Writing songs and producing hits…….And that is where his story really begins.
