Biography
Career
Influenced by
Timbaland and
Quincy Jones because of their diversity and knowledge in music, he was determined to become a great producer. Wanting to have a unique name that people would remember and how the music would sound, he chose Skitzo because he performed
voice overs. He has shown his talent in every track he makes, diverse and intense. At the age of 15-years-old he produced his first beat for 2 way Alerts in 1997. In 2001, he was featured on the mixtape "We Bare Armz" by Loose Cannon and Bazaar Royale.
In 2002, he turned heads when he appeared on
106 & Park's "Freestyle Friday" battling against rapper
Jin. Skitzo was up first to battle and pulled out a picture of an Asian girl, joking that it was Jin's sister.
While working for
Def Jam street team for six months and stopping by the office, he knew of another
Bronx native, rapper,
J. R. Writer who was an influential person to his success. J. R. Writer was with the
Diplomats and allowed
Cam'Ron to hear his beat, which resulted in a
gold album for "Get 'Em Girls".

Skitzo has his own production label called
Frenyc Productions [2] and in 2006 he produced "The Best Out", by the
Diplomats which is featured on
Fight Night: Round 3 by
EA Sports.
Skitzo then went on to produce the majority of tracks on
Cam'Ron next album which was to be titled "Public Enemy #1."
