my biography
In the summer 1985, I...GIANTmonk, got my eye put out from throwing rocks. That was the turning point in my life when things seems to change as if looking through a telescope. "They say when you lose a member of your body, something else gains strength to compensate for the lost." That Christmas...gosh did I get spoiled!! I got my 1st computer and the ALL-TIME greatest gift:
2 Technics 1200's
1 Numark Mixer
12' Cerwin Vega's
Inherited my Grandmothers LP (Wax for those that don't know) collection.
And a list full of LP/Cassettes (before they had CD's and iPods...way before, lol)reppin Hip-Hop to the fullest. I was already an advocate of House Music (why wouldn't I be, I'm from Chicago!!)
Dreams of being in the music industry and composing has just began. I was already playing the guitar. It was just a matter of time before I put it all together.
Between that time and now, I've produced for two different crews (stealthPlanet, WI and MKDE, IL).
Now, I'm all about any and every type of music. I especially love European and Brazilian Music these days, I guess its my old age...(I'm only 35!!)
I just want to connect with people who still have the drive in them to keep it creative.

- Your music does your name full credit. You`re the giantmonk and your music has a pure and minimalistic structure that mimics the dayly loop in a monks life. Is all your music instrumental?
