Str8face aka Str8 H. Lecter born August 1976, Kilburn West London is a UK Hip Hop artist and Producer whose influences span all genres of music. He was first a devoted student of the Hip Hop movement and Philosophy before embarking on creating his own music in 1998 and having dreamt of emulating greats such as Dj Premier, Marley Marl and Pete Rock to mention a few he would invest in a Yamaha DJX Keyboard and try his hand at sequencing and sampling. The tracks came one after the other as he honed his composing skills with the most basic of tools and before long with support from fellow aspiring musician and friend Young Menace (Anthony David) he began writing and rapping over tracks, they formed a group called 2F. Str8face grew musically and with Idols such as Stevie Wonder he would try out incorporating vocals into his delivery to achieve a more unique style of expression through his music. In 2003 He released an EP as a solo artist titled "I'm Here" which was followed by his first official album released in July 2005 entitled "Stimuli" which was produced solely by himself with a few guest features from artist friends.
