Hannibal Hayes, aka Lecture, has been passionate about music since childhood excelling with instruments such as guitar, bass, saxophone, and drums led to many experimental sessions and a stint playing guitar in an instrumental metal band. After moving to Missoula, MT in the beginning of 2011 from the Bitterroot Valley, Lecture turned his passion toward producing electronic music. Since then, he has worked to carve out his own niche in the Northwest US electronic scene. Lecture's original work mixes melodic hip hop influences with dub step, future bass, glitch, psychedelic and many other styles to bring a fresh sound that is both deep and high-energy. His personable and entertaining stage presence is a perfect complement to his live sets, which bring that same vibe and depth to the dance floor, with a hip-hoppy groove and grit that is sometimes dark, sometimes bright, and always irresistible. ______________________________________________ Since 2012 Lecture has performed as support for: Adventure Club Big Chocolate Atomic Reator Bass Science Cloud-D DuBuddha Desert Dwellers Dr Knobz The Digital Connection Dar Enzymes Feldman FYER Getter Grimblee Govinda Hecka ill-Gates ill-Esha Ionik J.
