Arik Newton Duncan (Born on December 5, 1972), locally known as Bas Klef, (Columbus, Ohio) began writing songs at age 9. Beginning with a Casio sampler, a homemade drum set made of Crisco cans, and the occasional opportunity to play on the Piano at his Grandmas, the discovery of the electronic revolution in music that was just around the corner and was the fuel Arik needed to keep dreaming. He saved every recording on tapes in hopes to one day be able to use the recordings later. These compositions can be found under the name Man Wit Cassettes. In the era of L.L. Cool J., Run DMC, Mantronix, and so many other Hip Hop artists, the internal fire needed to write lyrics and beats was not just a wish, but a true vision.In 1989, Arik befriended a local Jazz Bass player, Hosea Hooks from the band State of Mind. Helping set up stage, watching shows, and monthly trips to The Recording Workshop, where he later attended and gained certification in Audio Production.After 3 short months of intensive study at the Workshop, he decided to take it one step further into the music industry, whether it was recording his own demos, another band or a job in radio or television. That's when the opportunity was open to intern at two local radio stations, WCKX, and WVKO. After two jobs in one year as morning show Producer, he realized he wanted to continue writing songs with his own music. Using a compact Macintosh SE, an Ensoniq Mirage keyboard, a Microphone and a 4 Track Recorder, I needed to find a way to make this happen Arik explains. He soon met some guys through a mutual friend: I remember those days well! None of us had any money for studio time or recording equipment. These guys were young gang bangers. I would always tell them to write some songs and have them ready for when I get the equipment to record them. Unfortunately, two members of the crew past away and the group faded.Arik continued to write music, but really wanted another group of rappers to record. So he got a job at a music store and met another group and recorded South 4th Street, a compilation about life in Columbus, Ohio.Arik just published his first compilation of timeless music from the past ten years titled 1.9.2.0. Solitude, and currently working on the completion of his next CD projects; " A Moment Of Silence" Arik Duncan/ Man Wit Cassettes. and "4 tha Record" Bas Klef.
