About Me

Meet Can't Get Riite (CGR)

 ...

Bio: Music producer from Philadelphia, PA. I call myself a multi-genre producer because I make diverse music ranging from Hip Hop and R&B to House and Club music. Check out my beats here.

History: I was introduced to beat-making at the age of 12 when I found FL Studio on my parent's desktop. I played with FL's software just for fun but it wasn't until I was 18 that I started making beats again and taking it serious.

I started off making beats on my iPod Touch, using an app called iMashcine, since I didn't have my own laptop yet. After getting my first laptop in 2012, I then bought Native Instruments' Mikro beat pad and Maschine software; since then, I've been locked in. I taught myself how to produce through watching YouTube tutorials and playing around with my software. After years of constant producing and learning, I progressed to be the humble producer I am to-date.
