Fullclip Beats consists of one man by the name "Stephen Joseph Svatina" A.k.a. "Killa" A.k.a. "Steez" A.k.a. "Clip". Born March 20th 1985, Clip became involved in music at an early age, playing instruments and listening to mix cd's. His musical talents and abilities became out of the ordinary and formed into something more then a passion, it became his purpose on this earth. Since highschool Clip has been laying down beats, from the most gutter to the most commercial, coming up with roughly 10 new beats a week for a long period of time. Now Fullclip Beats is taking things to the next level, has lived a long enough lifetime of hard work and detication to the music, and has completed the necessary steps involved in becomming a true musician.
"I don't give a f*ck what people have to say about my music unless you're Dre or Em. When I lay down a concept, it comes from my past experiences blended with some mixed emotions with a touch of either positive or negative energy. So for someone to really know what Fullclip Beats sound like, go dive into the ocean and tell me how many species live in that sh*t. You'll get an idea of how many styles i can lay down."
Clip has gone through a history of musical experiences with almost every genre of music. He began playing piano as a small child, and eventually picked up the guitar which he still plays to this day. Once he moved on to playing the drums, Clip decided he wanted to be in a rock & heavy metal band, so he went from acoustic guitar to buying and electric guitar with a decent sized amplifier and a couple of pedals. Clip rocked the sh*t for 6 years in 2 different bands, but confused many because of his passion for rap & hip-hop music. He then began learning how to put together hip-hop beats on his friends Ensoniq keyboard with the help of his previous musical knowledge. From then on, it was like an endless shower of instrumentals.
"Yeah i've been in a rock band, yeah I have the entire collection of Metallica, so what? Most people see that as something strange, or they think i'm just someone who couldnt make up their mind, but the reality is that I have TRUE knowledge of how music is put together. Having played piano and guitar my whole life helped me develop the skill to create a melody from scratch in a matter of seconds. It gets hummed inside my brain, works its way to my fingers, and gets layed down. Simple. Having played the drums in my basement for a few years gave me the skill to work proper drumkits with their matching melodies. Having played the piano, I can jump onto a Triton or an ASR and make love to the machine and hatch some of the illest combos or instrument loops your mind can think of. This is what you call a "Musical Mastermind", and it is only achieved with years and years of experience working with melodies and rythms. You do mathematics, I do sequencing. Same sh*t. For you 2+2=4, for me, strings + Violin = Melody Complete. Music is like a never ending math formula, you can count forever, just like you can combine different sounds together forever. Another thing is that not just anyone can become a "Musical Mastermind". Sure you can practice and become good, but the masterminds come from birth. You're born with the sh*t inside you, it's like there's something else living inside you besides "you". This is God's gift to me and I will use it to it's full potential, by laying down beat after beat after beat, giving you "the world" pleasure to the ears, pleasure to the heart, and pleasure to the soul. Money aint' sh*t to me and neither is fame. The music is what keeps me going and what keeps my soul alive, along with God's blessings. My life is a constant soundtrack and i'm loving every minute of it..."
