ET aka Ricky Spanish aka the mad scientist

The Vision Music is more than just a passion for me; it is my life’s work. From the streets of Pico Rivera to the studios of Los Angeles, I have dedicated myself to capturing the grit, the soul, and the authentic energy of our environment. For the past several years, my Akai MPC X has been the heartbeat of my production. It has helped me engineer vocals, craft beats, and begin the journey of my latest project, "the Gold3n Stvndrd and All On The Table by RHG" However, to deliver the professional, high-fidelity sound that this music deserves, I have reached the technical limit of my current gear. The Goal: The MPC XL I am raising funds to upgrade to the Akai MPC XL. This isn't just a "new toy"—it is a professional-grade engine that will allow for: • Faster Workflows: Higher RAM and better processing to handle complex vocal arrangements. • Superior Sound Quality: Better conversion and standalone capabilities for a "major label" finish. • Community Growth: A more powerful setup allows me to collaborate more effectively with local artists and friends, bringing a higher standard of production to our community. This Is an Investment, Not a Handout I want this fundraiser to be a two-way street. I am asking for your support to help fuel this transition, and in return, I want to offer you a piece of the art you are helping to create.
