QD3 (QDIII prior to 2000) grew up in Stockholm Sweden were he got his start in Hip Hop by touring as a break-dancer. At age 13 QD3 got his first drum machine and started producing demo’s for local Hip Hop acts which eventually lead him to his first gold record at 16 years old. At that point QD3 packed up and moved to New York to pursue his dream to be a rap producer in the US. He spent a year and a half in New York working with old school legends such as T La Rock (1st artist signed to Def Jam) and Special K (of the group Treacherous 3 featuring Kool Moe Dee) for Sleeping Bag Records. At that time (1986) Hip Hop had not developed into a profitable business yet and QD3 decided to attend Berklee College of Music to learn more about mixing records and studio technology. After a year at Berklee, QD3 moved to Los Angeles where he immediately hooked up with Dr.Dre/Ruthless records and produced a project there and the rest is history.
