” I am Very, very dedicated. I am willing to work with anyone, at any time, on anything musical”Where can we hear your stuff?: All of my music is available for purchase/lease/listen at www.grassobeats.com All of my contact info and links to other sites are located there as well

How did you get that name?: My name is Joe Grasso, and I make hip hop beats. It took a lot of brain power, but I managed to come up with the name Grasso Beats.

What has been your biggest accomplishment?: My biggest  accomplishment has been having my music played over the store speakers of Hollis Famous Burgers, the Run DMC tribute restaurant in Queens, NY.
Also, my extensive work with Philly artist Truth has been great for me.

What has been your most difficult challenge?: My most difficult challenge has been distributing my music while located in PA. There aren’t many opportunities there, so I had to make my online presence as visible as possible.

What makes you different?: My drive to succeed, along with my business knowledge make me different. I feel that my music stands alone and tells a story, even before words are incorporated. I let my music speak my mind for me.

What projects are you working on?: I’m always wroking on new beats and collaborations. My big project right now is releasing a mixtape from my artist S. West. It’s an entirely Grasso-produced mixtape. It’ll be available for free download on my youtube channel and website as soon as it’s finished. The first single will be out this month.

Where are you from originally? : I’m originally from Long Island, New York. I then lived in Pennsylvania for 12 years, and now I attend Five Towns College in Long Island.

How Long have you been making music? : I’ve been producing for 3 years now.

What artists inspire you? : Good music inspires me. The more I listen, the more I want to create.

How would you define your style of music? : My style of music imitates my personal style. I try to let my instrumentals describe my moods. I have a mix of Dirty South and East coast beats, and I’d say I can mix well with either.

What teams are you affiliated with? : I am not affiliate with any teams. I handle all business myself for now.

Who are some artists that you have worked with? : I’ve worked extensively with Truth and S. West from Philadelphia, as well as underground artist Ethos and R&B singer Gemayel.

Who would you like to collab with? : My dream is to collaborate with Jay-Z…it’s also every other producer’s dream…Hov, hit me up!

Where do you see the future of music? : I see the future of music coming full circle. I see less downloading as the illegal sites get shut down, and I see more success for those artists who continually tour and connect with their fan base personally.

Where do you see yourself in 1 year? : I see myself in Manhattan working with ‘the big names’.

Describe yourself in one word. : I’m the cadillac of producers!

Any shout outs? : I would like to give the biggest thank you to my sister and my close friends for always giving me honest reviews on my music. I appreciate all of their help.
