About G. Lopez aka Genycis, Hip Hop Producer - Genycis Beats

In  1999, German Lopez began to delve into the art of making hip hop beats.  Very novice in his work at the time, German began learning the  technique of breaks, melody, form, and content. Only armed with a minor  sequencer program called Presto Arranger, he began to create beats and  started to generate a small buzz over time with some of his complex  melodies and beats.  He would devote time to music by studying various  techniques and compositions by ear.

In January 2003, German was introduced to a popular but hated  temptress named Fruity Loops. It was at the start of 2003 that he became  more familiar with even deeper techniques of making beats. With his  adept ability to learn things quickly, and a few people online to help  him, he began to make even tighter beats, and started to create an even  bigger buzz. Learning and using things such as compression, reverb,  chorus, flangers, and other effects, VST's, and other plugins, the beats  German started creating became mad vicious. Though another temptress  known as Reason tried to sway her hips his way, he stayed devoted to his  first shawty, Fruity.

It was also at the start of 2003 that he gave himself the name  Genycis, as genesis meaning "the coming into being of something", or in  his case, the coming into being of a new era in hip hop, spelled as   Genycis with the inflection of NYC in the middle of the name, to  represent his hometown of NYC. At that point, armed with a variety of  sounds, soundfonts, drum sounds, VST's, and the ever so hated Fruity  Loops 4, Genycis strived harder and harder to bring in the masses with  his beats.  At midpoint  of 2003, Genycis had created a major buzz with  over 100,000 streams of his beats on soundclick, has made #1 on  Soundclick with his hit beat "Mad Vicious" for 9 straight days, has also  made top 10 with 3 other beats, and has managed to draw in more than a  big crowd of people who likes the beats he brought to the crowd. He  featured a beat with up and coming artist SK1, along with other project  collaborations.

In 2004, Genycis worked on more projects. One of these projects was  with an up and coming artist known as "Greg E". Together, these two  planned on the release an underground album, though plans were  unfortunately changed due to personal family reasons.  Discouraged,  Genycis continued to push forward.  He then worked with a few other  underground artists on the side, some of which go by "Rezewar Dawgz",  "MC Total Chaos", and "LyrikzRP" out in NYC.  Genycis has also continued  to try to perfect his beats with even greater techniques, though  learning that the form is an art, and that the potential to perfect  music is more than likely non-existent.

In late 2004, Genycis ventured into the audio sound creation aspect  of the scene.  He created an assortment of instrument sounds in the  soundfont format.  Though different in quality in comparison to the raw  WAV format, the soundfont format proved to work wonders in replicating  an instrument without major PC power, making for easier beat creation  without technical drawbacks.  In the midst of making beats, he had  numerous inquiries on the sounds he used, and began selling his own  soundfonts and sound packages which opened his eyes to different  opportunities and avenues in addition to beats.

Though further personal family setbacks interfered with his progress  throughout parts of 2005 and 2006, he has continued to push forward in  his desires even into current 2009, beginning to once again network with  more artists such as an artist known as L.S. who has pushed forward  with his lyrical skills throughout Virginia and Charlotte, NC, as well  as another artist by the name of G-Syn also in Charlotte, and other up  and coming artists and projects.  He has also revamped his website, www.genycis.com, and plans on adding beats constantly, and has created a website as well to sell sounds to those who make beats as well, at www.SoundsForBeats.com.  As he enjoys creating new beats as an art and passion, he also enjoys creating new sounds to use in his own beats, those of which he has decided to sell on his SoundsForBeats.com website.  

In 2009, Genycis was blessed to work with a talented singer in Amma  Johnson, who released her second album, self titled "Amma Johnson" who  also runs her site at www.ammajohnson.com.   Amma Johnson is a very talented singer who sings inspirational and  gospel songs in both ballad and upbeat tempo styles.  Genycis had  placements on her album on three tracks, one of which included a house  beat which, although in an area though not too familiar to Genycis, did  extremely well including performances that Amma Johnson performed.   Another singer that Genycis had the pleasure of working with, is an  artist who is part of Likwid Stoan  who goes by Frank Santiago.  He, along with Likwid Stoan, are a  talented group of artists who demonstrate their talent on  www.likwidstoan.com.  Genycis has also worked with a promoter for a  famous bar / club promotion website, www.baroptic.com.  This project is still in works currently.  

Throughout time, Genycis has continued networking on Facebook,  Twitter, and other areas, and is also in negotiations with other artists  and singers as well for different projects.  He continues to generate  listens to his beats and website, along with other areas such as  Soundclick, where he first showcased his work, which shows that his  beats have been played over 248,000 times, as well as play hits on beats  he's added to www.mybeatshop.com/genycis which over a three month  timeframe, has generated over 2,000 plays with under 25 beats listed.   He continues to get compliments on his beats, especially with the  melodies he produces.  He has had the opportunity to also work with  talented hip hop artists such as Ezzie B of Prosthetik Intelligentz, an artist who goes by New Clear Poet,  an artist by the name Azon Blaze, a talented singer named Shirelda, and  several other artists and singers as well!  He owes all of his  accomplishments now and forthcoming to God, and is forever thankful just  for the talents of being able to make music, let alone to hear his  beats on great music.
