About Me:
Henry AKA Masta Hanksta was born and raised in Northern California. A true pioneer in the Dj game with over 27 years of music experience. He was one of the youngest DJs to hit the streets in 1982.
Heny began his record collection in 1977 when he was 8 years old. He would walk to a near by Record Factory outlet with his older brothers and spend his weekly allowances on 45" records.
His first gigs where garage parties for local gangs in his neighborhood. He would use a wooden Sanyo turntable and a dual cassettes deck player attached to a radio shack mixer.
At the age of 15 Hanksta would become one of the youngest DJs in Northern California to perform in some of the bay area's premiere bars and nightclubs. Hanksta once dominated the DJ Scene in Northern California with as much as three bookings per day. He refused to join the battle scene but remained on top for most of his career. Hanksta fell a victim to drugs and alcohol and was forced to step away from the Club scene for over ten years.
Hanksta released his 3rd Album titled "The American DJ".
Now being distributed digitally under his own independent record label Hanksta Records©

Influences:
If I had to Narrow it down I would have to say the biggest influences in my music are: Mozart, Bach and MC Eshser. I know MC Esher was a artist but his drawings are visual music in my mind. Hip hop Influence was the Sugar Hill Gang 1975 I first heard them when I was six years old. true story..

The response has been phenomenal.
The money I made will go into new video equipment for better youtube videos for my subscribers.
Some of the music on itunes is on for a limited time so if you haven't purchased songs, now is the time before they get deleted.
And remember Independent minds buy Independent music.
Thank you for your support.
PEACE!
