Biography
Lazerbeak
Super Producer
Lazerbeak is a thug. Do not be deceived by the nice-guy introductions backstage. Beak is responsible for some of the hardest lavabangers in hip hop, period. Catchy, rib-crushing, filthy.
In his basement workshop, Beak works mostly with a MPC2000XL. He layers propulsive, hard-hitting drums with driving guitar and keyboard melodies. He paces after the addition of each element, ducking to avoid the overhead pipes, playing air drums, and calculating his next layer.
Beak’s sequencing is a large part of his sound. “After you’ve got the main structure, to make it a real song, you have to take it all part again. It’s like a battle with the beat, every time.” And Beak always wins. When it’s over, the effect is some helicopter-at-the-omnitheater shit. He’ll take a beat down to its most essential elements before letting it off the leash to explode into anthemic proportions.
Lazerbeak got involved with the Doomtree crew through his high school friendship with Stef (P.O.S). But by then he’d already been playing music for years. Since 8th grade he played with The Plastic Constellations, the indie rock group that would go on to tour the country, signed to French Kiss Records. Stef, having heard Lazerbeak’s music with TPC, encouraged him to start making beats. Beak got a loan from his folks to buy his first MPC from Guitar Center. Stef came over in the afternoon to show him the ropes. No looking back.
To date, Lazerbeak has produced over 400 beats. His production appears on almost every Doomtree release, including all three of P.O.S’ solo albums. He's now completing the production for the upcoming Sims solo release and working on a solo endeavor of his own.
Most recently, Doomtree released Lazerbeak’s collaboration with Mike Mictlan. The two schemed for years to write and record the disc. For much of that time Mike was living in L.A. Lazerbeak sent Mike beat CDs in the mail. Mike rapped his verses to Lazerbeak over the phone. Big dreams, big phone bills. Now the fruit of their labor is available in all its glory as Hand Over Fist. Legend Recognize Legend.

Hey everybody. This is just gonna be a quick one because we’ve got a ton of work to do this week getting everything in place for the Blowout, as well as getting the word out on this new Doomtree “False Hopes Fifteen” mini album coming out. Next week it will be back on and popping though with list-o-mania (shout to Phoenix, kinda).

So yeah, first and foremost we are releasing an eight song CD at the Blowout as a way to close out 2009 and bring in the monster Doomtree year that is 2010. We just put a pre-order for the album up on the webstore just in case you aren’t gonna be able to make it to the Blowout. We also leaked a track off it called “Coup For The Kings.” It’s got Sims and P.O.S. on the raps, and myself on the beat (genuine certified Lava Banger, expect nothing less my friend). Check it out:

Really happy with how this one turned out.
In other news I am gearing up to be the honored guest at The Whole Music Club’s “Making Music” series…….

Hello there and welcome back to Tuesdays With Lazerbeak. Man I can’t believe the Vikings are 7-1 going into the bye week! Absolutely incredible. That victory coupled with the fact that, against all odds, I managed to defeat my fantasy football opponent by less than one point in the final seconds of Monday Night Football (take that Tony Gonzalez!), I just couldn’t ask for anything more! Admittedly, …

Happy early Halloween people. Ended up carving pumpkins over the weekend and decided to put my personal mission statement out there for all the neighborhood to ponder. At my bachelor party last year I was given a list of tasks to complete before the end of the evening (hi-five everyone in the bar, etc.) and one of the most challenging and daunting tasks was that for one
