Biography

Muska is a professional skateboarder and musician, known for his part in the 1998 skateboarding video, Shorty's Fulfill The Dream.[1] Afterwards, Muska was given a sponsorship by Circa footwear in 1999, and released many models of shoes with the brand.[2] Muska was let go by Circa in 2005, paving way for him to join the upstart company Supra Footwear. Muska also rode for éS Footwear before joining Circa. The éS Muska model was a top selling shoe of its time. One of his Shorty's pro models was of his album MuskaBeatz which had 12 recordings of artists including Biz Markie.

Muska later left Shorty's Skateboards in early 2006, and in December of that year he picked up a deal with Element Skateboards. Muska also left long time sponsor, Fury, to help Element establish a more noteworthy wheel and truck market.

Muska also rode for now defunct companies TSA Clothing, Diakka Watches, and Ghetto Child Wheels. Other past sponsors include Toy Machine, Maple, Etnies, Shorty's Skateboards and Fury trucks.

As of the summer of 2011, Muska's sponsors are Element Skateboards, KR3W, and Supra Footwear,[3] and is a co-owner of the store Factory413.

On July 14, 2011, Muska was arrested for felony vandalism on Hollywood Blvd.[4]

Video games

Muska is a playable character in the Tony Hawk series of video games.

Music

His music has also been featured in the games under the alias Muskabeatz, where he has produced music for old-school hip hop artists such as Biz Markie, Ice-T, Jeru the Damaja, and Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon and U-God.[5] The project was initially planned to be a drum-and-bass record (since Muska had recently become involved in producing electronic music), but Muska decided midway through recording that the record should have an "old-school feel" to it. The self-titled Muskabeatz record was released on February 13, 2003 on Muska's own 1212 Records[6]
