Provoke is an up-and-coming producer/emcee residing in San Diego, California. Born in Los Angeles, and raised in DC, Provoke bridges the gap between coasts with his music. He took an interest in music when he was 10 years old and has been composing ever since; playing piano, bass, drums and percussion. Raw drums and smoothly chopped samples characterize his beats, drawing heavy influence from producers such as Pete Rock and Lord Finesse. Provoke draws his inspiration from jazz legends such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane, to folk artists such as Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. This diversity in musical taste shines through in his productions, providing broad appeal and style to his beats. Provoke’s got next, check out his work and get back to us if you’re interested.
