Treasure Fingers had a lot to be thankful for in ‘08, with the icing on the cake being his recent signing to A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold label:
‘I had quite a few mutual friends but what actually brought it all together was A-Trak sending me a MySpace message saying something like ‘hey! I like your music and run a label, are you interested (in) releasing some records with us?’. Since then, I’ ve become good friends with A-Trak, Nick Catchdubs and the rest of the Fool’ s Gold family; they’ re all really good people.’
Fingers also explains, in his interview with Killahbeez.com, how he got the weird name, what eras and genres of music influence him most, what gear he uses to sculpt his beats, and what upcoming projects we can expect from him now that he’s got a record deal.
The most intriguing tidbit of info to come out of the Q&A had to do with how TF first got into dance music:
‘I started with hip hop and experimental stuff when I was really young, 14 or so, on my dad’ s drum machine and 4track. Around 16, I lost interest and started playing in punk/hardcore bands. I didn’ t really get serious with dance music production & DJing until I was 17 or 18 and my band had broken up. I liked that I could fill the creative musical void by writing, producing, & DJing solo.’
