16 year old producer “Karamel Kel“(Markel Lopes) influenced by Underground Hip-Hop grew up being surrounded by music. The Son of early 90′s R&B producer “ThickHouse” was encouraged to listen to all kinds of music and gain an appreciation for it. Later when He was 12, he was introduced to producers such as “J Dilla”,  “Nujabes”, and so many others. It changed his view of music and life itself. When he turned 14 he got his first keyboard from his father and hasn’t stopped making beats since. To him, music is a way to get away from reality and explore through a world inside your mind that can take you to so many places mentally. What he wants Is people to hear what music has to say.
