Bio:
"Once a man is taught to fish, he can eat for a lifetime. This quote,
with its insight on learning how to prosper, was principle in the roots
of Sinitus Tempo, who at an early age saw the intellectual fruit of
underground hip-hop in his older brother. Now with 8 years of crafted
production in his strongbox, the professed “King of Inflected Pitch” is
taking antique sounds and sculpting them into jewels for future hits.
Announced as Nathan Peters on March 1st, 1989, the youth of this
producer was cultivated by the sounds of Madlib, Oh No, MF Doom, DJ
Premier, Barry White Just Blaze and Pete Rock. The adoration of his
older brother’s skill of writing music pushed the much-younger Sinitus
Tempo to match the words with a touch of sound. Under the technique of
“looping and adding” which allowed him to sample a record and use it
repetitiously with added drum effects, was the manner in which Tempo
enhanced his style---until he heard production by 9th Wonder and Khrysis
of the Justus League squad. Another gem was added to his toolbox of
knowledge and from there, he set forth on a journey of mastering the art
of reinventing classics. Through this understanding of manipulating the
pitch of old tunes, an intrigued Sinitus Tempo developed a style of his
own, building a more pronounced sound that have many awaiting his
signet of ability to stamp their music.
Loyal, but tight-nit is
the persona of Sinitus Tempo. Working alongside childhood friend and
producer Doc Battle, Tempo also manages a green, yet dynamic artist
named Obii Say, making him both dually active in the business and
artistic side of his production. His confidence is encouraged by a
strong history of collaborations with artists such as Markyland
(SRC/Universal), Mugsy Malone (Fantana/Universal) and A.B. the Producer
(Studio 43) as well as a long list of production work for hip-hop acts
from all over the world, ranging from names like RatheMC (who resides in
DC) to Twixx (who resides in the Netherlands).
The seeker of
vintage vinyl keeps his future motives in front of him, making plans to
collaborate with the likes of Lady Gaga, Ludacris, Common, Little
Brother, and every artist on DuckDown Records. In just a year, Sinitus
has made a serious name in the anime community with the release of four
highly-praised tributes to Claymore, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and
Soul Eater. Just from looking at the determination of Sinitus Tempo’s
aim at being one of the top underground producers of the hip-hop realm
makes the status of his upcoming projects look like an imminent win from
the start."
