[edit] Biography
As a teen, Covelli began to explore the creative possibilities of electronic music production in High School. Big Ty introduced him to the music studio environment and Covelli quickly became comfortable. Treating the studio the same as a classroom, Covelli ambitiously yet patiently studied and dissected the music that he was passionate about. Big Ty took him under his wing and taught him how to use a mixing board and sequencing software.
Covelli slowly started building a home studio starting with an old Yamama DJX keyboard his father gave to him when he was a child. He still uses the keyboard today as a controller for his sound modules. He continued to study, produce, and compose music from his bedroom studio throughout his childhood. After helping to produce a few tracks for various small time Hip-Hop artists at Evanston Township High School, Covelli's resume took its first big step when he collaborated with various artists from www.RapMusic.com[2] and www.FutureProducers.com[3]. Two major artists were Fatal Phenom and Vice Raw, the later of which their collaboration was featured on the national mixtape "Respect The South 6". It wasn't until Covelli linked up with Arrogant, the "Chi-town Prince", that he really began to make moves with recognized artists. Covelli's biggest track record accomplishment is the song he did for Arrogant that featured platinum recording artist Twista.
Covelli is currently seeking out an agent/manager to shop his production around. He left this note on his MySpace blog:
I have been in the game a while and have reached the point where I need to find a manager or get my music to talented artists and artists that are established or signed with a major label. The only way to truly prove myself is to let the music speak for itself. I am interested in sending in a production cd of my instrumentals. If this is possible please contact me either by phone or email. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity or being pointed in the right direction. Thanks for your consideration, Brian COVELLI
