Fattjointz Recordings was originally formed by producer DJ Sure Shot in early 1994. He's the original member and still producer of the popular Hip Hop group the Blak Prophetz. He has managed to have worked with what he would call the ones who inspired him the most which includes Afrika Bambaataa, Joyce Sims and Ced Gee of Ultramagnetic MC's and many more. Sure Shot's techniques has been compared to the likes of DJ Premier, Paul C in some instances when compiling Hip Hop productions and has always been heavily involved in the Jazz scene having worked with the likes of Us3 and Urban Species. It was Giles Peterson of Radio One who persuaded Sure Shot to work with Mintos of The Urban Species back in the mid 90's.
Sure Shot works with all genres may it be Rock, R&B, Hip Hop or Jazz and it is this diversity that keeps him at the forefront of creating sounds for music artists who requires their music to stand out amongst the rest.
As part of my graduate school endeavors, I worked as teaching assistants for Conrad Herwig and Todd Coolman, at Rutgers and SUNY Purchase respectively. I have taught and currently teach music to individuals of all ages and skill levels, both in group settings and privately. I also teach beginner to intermediate piano as well as music composition and arranging.
Like composing, arranging is a great way to diverge from the limitations of ones own instrument, and to express oneself through the means of other instruments and people. Whether I am dictating exactly what will be played, down to the most finite degree, or whether I am creating a more open, interpretive piece, arranging and composing go hand in hand in the that they are both used in creating a template for others to follow throughout a piece. I have studied jazz arranging extensively over the years, and have had many opportunities to arrange music for ensembles of many different sizes and instrumentation. As an arranger, I have been asked to take mere ideas and craft whole arrangements with them, as well as orchestrating my own works for various ensembles.
If you are a hip-hop, R&B, electronic music artist, or in a band then you would benefit from our production process as well as our mixing. A remix with added instrumentation is a great way to revisit a song and give it a new feel or give it that little something extra to make it sizzle. If you are looking for an original, produced instrumental, Adam will speak with you and listen to some of your previous recordings or musical influences and custom tailor a song for you.
