Well I know you from your music, but tell me a little about you.

Let’s chat a bit about your music. What’s your set up? Was there a musician who used
this gear that made you want to take this route? My current set-up is very simple. I use Fruity Loops and Cool edit
pro. I have a microkorg and also a midi. When I first started making beats,
Fruity Loops was the first tool I wanted to use - I know that many beat makers
start off with Fruity. It’s a great program. I’ve never been able to stop using it. Down the
track I know that others like 9th Wonder & Hudmo also use Fruity.
What was your first experience in music? Both as a listener and as
a musician.
My pops always had a great record collection.
Growing up to Motown and 70's rock. He
would always sing around the house as a kid. My cousin and homie growing up in
high school exposed me to hip hop and r&b, after that the internet aided me
with all other discoveries.
What style would you say that your music is?
That’s a real hard one to answer as I like to make so many different
styles. BUT I’ve always called my music SOUL music.
Do you see your style of music personified in what you wear or how
you act?
Oh most definitely - music and
lifestyle/fashion has always intertwined. I think that is what’s
great about music. It helps form a sort of identity, but I also think I’m generalizing.
Music isn’t about image at all - BUT it’s funny that you can nearly always tell what
kind of music an individual is into when you look at their kit haha.
What can we expect next from Ta-Ku? Any short-term or longer-term
plans for your music?
I have some exciting releases coming up! The
most recent being a FREE EP with Live For The Funk blog. They are great dudes
with an awesome passion for music. I can’t wait to share it with everyone. Down the
track I have some releases with Suff Daddy, Miles Bonny, Chet Faker coming up!
Very cool! We’ll keep an eye out for your new stuff. Thanks
for taking the time to do this with us!
