Personal life

Born in Bakersfield, CA, Mono/Poly was interested in music composition as a child in the mid 90's. His father owned a small studio setup where he was able to get his hands on some of his first synthesizers. The Roland Juno keyboard was his initial interest. Curious to the production of electronic music, he began producing his earliest compositions using a freeware music sequencer called Tuareg.

Music career

In the fall of 2009, Mono/Poly released his 12" EP, The George Machine on Faces Records. In the following May 2010, he made his debut on Tasteful Licks Records with his first full-length solo album Paramatma. In 2011, he joined the record label Brainfeeder and released his most recent album Manifestations on April 5, 2011. Mono/Poly appears on various mixes and compilations including Flying Lotus release L.A. EP 2 X 3 from Warp Records and Planet Mu release Wild Angels-Mary Anne Hobbs.
