Description

"Unagi was raised in a musical household where playing multiple instruments was the norm. As a kid, he played piano and trumpet around the house and in the school band, progressing to guitar, bass, and drums in junior high. Access to his stepdad's gigantic record collection and vintage recording equipment fueled his interest, and he spent his formative years listening to everything from free jazz to heavy metal. Coming of age alongside hip-hop, he was busting the worm in grade school and listening to Rakim and G Rap by seventh grade.

Playing with various noise-rock bands throughout the nineties, the transition to Unagi came in 1997, while working with freestyle rap maniacs Discs of Tron. Bored by the simpleton "shiny suit" sound that was blowing up at the time, D.O.T. blazed a path of destruction throughout Western Massachusetts, instigating crowds with lyrical assaults centering around terrorism, sexual deviancy, and current events."
