Anno Domini Nation

Anno Domini Anno Domini (“AD”) grew up in Munich, Germany before moving to England in 1997. A huge Hip Hop fan throughout his youth, he started making his own beats on a laptop in his university dorm room one afternoon in 2004. Thus Anno Domini Beats was born! With a decade of music production behind him he has since honed his skills and developed an ear for instrumentals ranging from epic orchestral arrangements to silky soul tunes. Anno Domini helped pioneer the sale of music licenses online and grew his own brand into a global symbol for high quality production. He has taken his love for music from a teenager’s bedroom to an international platform encompassing a music production team of multi-platinum selling and award-winning producers, a record label and a gradually expanding multimedia empire, with over 100 million website hits and legions of fans. Anno Domini has worked on projects with Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks), Kool G Rap, Wu-Tang Clan, Royce Da 5’9, D12, Ras Kass and many more, as well as receiving the honour of being nominated as a finalist in the Enterprising Young Brit Awards 2010. He also gained a distinction level Master’s degree in Management from the London School of Economics and has a keen interest in business and entrepreneurship. soundclick.com/annodominibeats twitter.com/annodominibeats myspace.com/annodominibeats facebook.com/annodominibeats 2Deep 2Deep made his first steps into the Hip Hop arena as an emcee in 2004, where at 15 he embodied the rebellious teen, skipping class and causing trouble. Back then he would buy beats from Anno Domini, not realising that in a few short years time the two would partner to become one of Hip Hop’s best known beat production team. After his first tentative mixtape and album releases and while pursuing schooling at a metal workshop, he decided to quit his job and left for the US to complete high school. Thrown into a new environment with no friends and nothing to do, he turned to the art of beat-making. Captivated, he would work solidly from the moment he came back from school to the moment he fell asleep. In the process he built a growing friendship with Anno Domini, who, impressed with his rapidly progressing skills as a beat-maker, invited him to join the Anno Domini Beats crew. In the years since, 2Deep has ascended to full production partner and manager at Anno Domini Beats. He has worked on music projects with the likes of Shyheim, Method Man, Rick Ross, Tech 9Ne and Sexion D’Assaut which went platinum in France, and continues to thrill listeners with his gritty melodies and hard-hitting drums. twitter.com/2DeepBeats 2deepbeats.com facebook.com/2DeepBeats Screwaholic Screwaholic’s path to music production began in 1997 when he crafted his first beat. As part of the Hip Hop group Birkenwald he quickly honed his own unique style as DJ and producer and even though he stepped to the mic from time to time, it was clear where his talents and his future lay. Screwaholic is a household name in Germany, where his production can be heard on releases by major rappers such as Azad, Eko Fresh, Donato, Saad and Bushido, whose album went platinum. He has also worked with numerous French and Swedish Hip Hop artists, as well as releasing several chillout lounge collections and writing a music production book. twitter.com/Screwaholic de-de.facebook.com/Scr3waholic youtube.com/user/screwaholic screwaholic.com Vherbal Vherbal is a veteran in the game, having started his music production career in 1996.
