Fabian Bates (Founder/CEO, Beats and Lyrics Productions)- Music has been in me since my birth on August 9th, 1976. I was born in Galveston, and raised in Port Arthur T.X., a small town southest of Houston. In my early childhood, my family had the chance to help cultivate and influence my talent through Gospel, R&B, Funk, and Jazz. At the age of eight, the year 1984, the music had developed enough to surface and catch my family's attention. That's when my grandmother hooks me up playing the drums at church. I did this for eight years working with youth, young adult and senior choise. At the same time, Hip-Hop began to trickle down through the U.S. making its mark on the world and myself. U.T.F.O., Kraftwork, Africa Bambatta, and Run-DMC were some of the first artists' to open my eyes to a culture and music that changed my life forever. By the age of thirteen, I was writing and producing Hip-Hop, R&B and House music. Through my adolescent and young adult years I preformed at backyeard barbecues, night clubs, neighborhood and underground parties . In August of 2000, I moved to Dallas, T.X. and began working the underground scene. In my time in Dallas, I have established myself as a well known D.J. producer and lyricist. I am a member of the group 1984, and producer of their original tracks. My ambition is to use my company to assist in unifying the music culture and; uplift those that are influenced into better days. "Rhythm is in my blood melody makes my soul."

Ray (Vocals)-"Let
me start first, by telling you what music is to me. Music to me is,
every color in the sky, every color of the earth. Music is every
feeling; good, bad, happy, sad. Music is a garden of blessings, given
to us as a gift to help touch and heal our souls and hearts as well as
minds by God. Given from God, manifested on earth."

Preston (Vocals)- Coming Soon!

Lulio (Guitars)-"As
a young child; my older cousins listen to Blues and Jazz when we would
hang out. That music had a great impact on establishing my musical
foundation. As I got a little older I began to play around on the piano
at a friend's house. Soon after that my mother bought me a keyboard. I
was twelve at the time and had just begin developing my talent as a
musician. As the years rolled by I studied music and during this time I
found my true skills as a guitarist. From then on I knew that music
would be a part of my life forever."
