About

Kody Rain's love for music started at a very young age. Countless stories of him dancing and singing along to songs in the living room as a child.

At age 13 his dad got him a "Dm2" mixer. It came with all these different sound packs to create your own custom songs. This was his first iteration of beat producing.

A few months after, his dad got him a set of turntables for his birthday, having been inspired by Mr. Hahn of Linkin Park and DJ Qbert he began learning how to scratch.

From ages 14 to 15 he started learning popular beat production software like Fruity Loops and Reason, while also still using the Dm2.

One summer he recorded his first song entitled "The Dead", he used the Dm2 to create the beat and Mixcraft to record the vocals into a cheap usb mic. After uploading the song to Myspace his best friend Korey took interest in music making and together they created a group called "Karnage". Korey came to California and stayed with him the entire summer. They worked on music and created and EP. Hand made some hard copies to give to friends and uploaded the music to Myspace.
