Sometimes we are unaware that our surroundings have a great influence in our lives. It can be the people around us such as friends or the music that we listen to, or simply the things that we browse on our computer. As things happen in front of our eyes, we judge those things and have certain feelings towards them. We choose what to accept and reject. It creates taste. For example, we often see a group of friends dress alike. It's simply because they influence one another and have similar taste. That is why similarity is often seen.

Although artists, illustrators and designers have different jobs, they all create visual works. And when searching for ideas and inspiration, it all comes to their taste. The selected visual artists that will be showing their works at Taste Market are also based on my personal taste.

*The art exhibition will be an exhibition of art prints.

I've always had this thought that my method in creating my visual works are just the same as how I create my music. So here is my attempt in trying to explain that basic thought.

A hip-hop producer makes their beats usually by cutting short parts of a song. Those cuts are called samples. Then the samples are then combined with other samples such as drum loops, bass lines, piano melodies or just about any sound that they think sounds good to them, creating a loop of a couple of bars then looping it into a whole song. Modern hip-hop producers also compose their own beats, rhythms and melodies. But basically have the same methods in producing a song. Which is creating that loop of a four to eight bars that sounds just right to the ears and not getting bored of it after it loops over and over.

This artwork interprets the the technical process of how a I make my music. Composing shapes into loops then combining them into one whole artwork.

I found an acapella version of Southern Girl by my favorite singer of all time Erykah Badu a couple of days ago. So I couldn't resist making music for her smooth vocal. I also did a portrait drawing for the album art which I must say isn't my drawing style. But sometimes I like to do these kind of drawings for exercise. Which I think is necessary for an artist to do. Enjoy the track.

'don't know about the television, all I know is 'bout my flow"
