About Stomp
Stomp is one of two music producers for the JUNO Award nominated Team Rezofficial. A member of the Samson Cree Nation in Hobbema, Alberta, the industry veteran has been making music and handling the business side of hip hop projects since 1997.

Beginning his career with the group War Party in 1998, Stomp’s hard-edged production built the sound that carried them up until his departure in 2003. He partnered with then- up-and-coming producer Jay Mak and formed a new production company entitled Rezofficial Music. In seeking out new talent to produce, they found MC’s Hellnback, Drezus and Tomislav and formed the group Team Rezofficial. With Stomp and Jay Mak’s production and manager duties behind the scenes, the group went on to release two nationally distributed full length albums (The Foundation and The World [And Everything In It]), five music videos, four promotional mixtapes, and booked hundreds of shows for Team Rezofficial across Canada.

With a solid production catalogue behind him, Stomp has evolved from being a beat-maker to a true producer – helping guide the careers of new artists such as Winnipeg’s Most.
