TITANIUM MUSIC: MEESE FORBES

Growing up son to a gospel singing mother and a radio disc jockey father Meese Forbes had the best of both worlds at his hands. For him singing was a gift that was noticed by his mother when he was just a young boy, but for some reason Meese always had a passion for making the music. At 12 (when he began teaching himself how to play the piano by ear) he knew that wanted to make music for himself and for anyone else who shared the same vision as he did. Soon after Meese became inspired to touch the turntables and do numbers of mixed tapes for his high school classmates. "I was always the one beat boxing for all the cats that rapped in my high school," says Meese. "It didn't matter where we did it on the bus, in the lunch room, in the gym. They'd yell for me and I would come ready to beat box". Music is a natural gift for Meese. And at the age of 20 when his mother bought him his first workstation keyboard (Yamaha Motif ES7) as a gift he finally realized that it was only a matter of time before he could make his dream come true. Meese has gone on to produce music for the likes of many local artists in the Hartford area. Artist such as P.I.M.P.(and the whole Five Corner Ent.), EastLane, Amazin Grace, Mr. Quimmica (Reggaeton artist), Young J.O. (P.B. Dollar Ent.), DLaw (4Bes Productions R&B singer), JayMal, Hawk and the list goes on.
