About Dirk Deafner

Biography:

"EmCDL (Emaster Of Ceremonies, Dustin Lewis) is an up and coming music producer/songwriter/indie artist who has been into producing for years. His musical influences range from traditional hip hop and R&B, to off beat genres such as electro-funk, nu-jazz, trip-hop, deep house and chillout/lounge electronica...." blah blah blah...that's actually a part of my official bio, you can read the rest on my website.

In a nutshell, I'm just a guy who has recently delved into the world that is deep house and chillout-lounge, and producing music that portrays that influence. I was really into hip hop, as well as trying to dip my hands in almost all genres of music, but lately since I've been listening to deep house (specifically Naked Music 'transformed' me), my whole sound has change and I'm now into that type of music, but still adding a bit of hip hop (but positive/uplifting and/or conscious lyrics). Something different that I hope both deep house and traditional hip hop fans will enjoy.

I'm originally from Virginia, but after getting out the Army back in '07, decided to move to Cali to start fresh and to get my music going. Anything else you want to know about me, don't be afraid to ask! I'm a cool down to earth type of guy! I'll also be posting some of my music here on the forums, so your feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I live in LA (well really San Fernando Valley), so I would like to know of any events that involves deep house/chillout-lounge/nu-jazz, and possibly meet some of you guys as well.
