Outtasite was fundamentally a Hip-Hop kid, seduced by the rhythms of Rock “n” Roll, and a student of both genres…..Outtasite also spent a lot of time listening to crates fill of records from the 60’s and 70’s and became influenced by mostly every type of popular music known to mankind….the goal of carving some kind of niche as an artist became priority one…sort of a “Fitting in, because we don’t fit in” mentality.

Outtasite discovered early on that daring to be different was much more important than trying to be involved in musical trends of a particular moment.

After several years of struggling to stand out in the talent heavy local scene, Outtasite made his national debut in 1996 on the Sir Mix-A-Lot track “Fonk4da B.L.V.D.” alongside fellow members of his group “The Elite”.

Several years later in 99-2000 Outtasite gained local attention for being the only unknown member of an otherwise supergroup of famous seattlelites “SubSet”.

After that short-lived yet door opening experience, Outtasite began working on solo material teaming with guitarist Joel Davila (Fury in the Temple ) for his debut CD “Right Side Down” …..a full length CD that featured…..Chris Ballew of PUSA, Sir Mixalot, Sev Johnson of the indy rockband “Peratus”, and 3 tracks with drummer Jeff Kathan, and bassist Lynn Sorensen (Paul Rogers, Sex & Violins)

In 2004 a sample of this self-described hybrid noise landed on “Project Gotham 2” (x-box) via the track titled “High Powered”

…..Samples of Outtasite’s debut CD have also been heard on MTV’s hit show “Pimp My Ride”, and Saffire Film’s indy movie “Forbidden”, among other random places.

Also early in the decade, Outtasite made several guest appearances on DJ Funk Daddy’s third full length CD “I Want All That”, and also produced the Sir Mix-A-Lot track “Resonate” which appeared both on “Project Gotham 1”, and the 2003 Sir Mix-A-Lot CD “Daddy’s Home”

In 2004, Outtasite joined “The Presidents of the United States of America ” front man Chris Balew to form a new duo called “The Feelings Hijackers” or T.F.H. for short.

After releasing their self titled debut in 2005, the abstract duo began work on T.F.H. vol.2 “Skeletal Remains”, released in September2007.

In 2008, Outtasite served as assistant producer on the debut CD from Alternative/Experimental act “Fairchild” titled “Chivalry has Died”…...and also went into production with Alternative/Hip Hop Group “The Rush Project”.

In March of 2008, Outtasite and guitarist Joel Davila released their second full length CD titled “Careful What You Wish For” on Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Rhyme Cartel Records.

In 2009 Outtasite was featured on the Sony Legacy release “Playlist the very best of Sir Mixalot” on the track “Posin like a player”.

Also in 2009 the hybrid mainstay began filming footage for a vide show called “OuttasiteTV”.  The show gives you an inside look at the people/artist that shape both pop, and indy culture.

In a producers role, Outtasite currently runs a music licensing business “Going Going Gone Publishing”, supplying music for many popular television shows, including Parental Control, Pimp My Ride, The Bad Girls Club, & The Real World.

And the beat goes on…..

OUTTASITE featuring Sir Mix-A-Lot will rock at a rescheduled date due to wet weather concerns.
