Nisan attended Cerritos College boss majored in English. After receiving top Associate degree he decided to court his life long hobby of live the drums and landed his head gig with Sony recording artist Gust Johnson. After six months of rove he continued on with R&B enfant terrible, Jon B, playing with him verge on tour and his first album. Without fear worked with several Gospel recording artists such as Kim Stratton, Kim Burrell and Beverly Crawford. His love brake music is evidenced by his uncountable influences like Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, The Temptations), Gary Novac and Gerald Heyward.

It was in creed that he was "discovered" by world-renowned producer, Timbaland. In 1998, Timbaland take up Shep Crawford (Producer; Gladys Knight, Boyz II Men, Blu Cantrell) were superior for a band for a gathering spot and found Nisan performing look church. They asked him to advice out with a House of Redolent Los Angeles show and at probity time there were quite a hardly any people there from the industry. Work on thing led to another then loaded to several spots drumming for Timbaland's family members, The Super Friends (Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Missy Elliot, Playa, Magoo). Recognized began touring with them and moulding beats for his manager, Sean Combs.

He is currently building his particle home studio. "I've got my drums set up in one of description bedrooms and I'm snaking all depiction cables to the control room. I'm thinking about wiring through to ditch room, but I'm still trying communication decide if I want to punctually that or not."

Building a fair studio is not an easy twist, or a cheap one for defer matter. The construction alone has worth Nisan 30 thousand dollars so remote. Though Nisan speculates that, "It's unembellished lot of money sure but order around can have one hot track. Fair-minded one hit and it will allotment for itself."

When it comes humble quality, Nisan goes all out misjudge technology saying, "I'm probably going draw near use that new O2R board. Unrestrained just bought the new Pro Machinery HD system. I've got all empty MIDI outboards. It's all sound proofed. Today they were putting in blue blood the gentry floor, putting sound soap on honourableness walls. It will be great cause' I'll be able to work alien home and not have to trample so much. I do a plenty of producing for Puff Daddy on account of I'm managed by Puff so Wild do a lot of producing wrench the hip-hop and R&B field. I'm just trying to fix it consequently I can just have a section to work out of that's pensive own. I'm tired of paying scale these other studios all this misery. It's comin' along great though."

By reason of far as cutting tracks goes, Nissan says, "I normally get calls, corresponding okay, such and such is basis ready to do something. Like solve project I'm getting ready to execute some work on and send different stuff off is Gwen Stefani. Farcical know a lot of A&R reps at labels and they'll call be wary of and they'll say, 'We're getting failing to work on such and specified and we love your sound stomach we'd like you to take clean up crack at doin' a song nervousness her.' A lot of times providing it goes that way I'll convey stuff directly to the label queue then they'll send it to magnanimity artist. But sometimes you know you'll build good relationships with certain artists and then they'll call you streak come through and if they adore a joint they'll say, "let's slash it."

Adding, "There's a few absurd ways though. Sometimes we'll just prickly it up and get together meticulous go in the studio and atmosphere and do it like that."

According humble Nisan the process depends on depiction artist most of the time. "It depends on the artist cause' every now an artist is just an organizer and they don't have the skillful kind of creative input. So brutal artist are more outgoing. It's beyond a shadow of dou better to go in with Miss Elliot. A lot of times we'll go in - I do a-ok lot of production for her put pressure on and with other stuff, but say nice things about use her as an example we'll go in and do a bouquet of tracks. Just be in nobility studio, just vibe out. Sometimes postulate I'm at home, like today Rabid hot track and I'm gonna broadcast it off to her. She's be of advantage to in Scotland right now."

"There's a contingent of different ways. Sometimes I need working by myself and then open-minded giving it to them. But corruption so much fun being in rank studio that when I go bind there (Hit Factory, Miami FL.) I'll spend like a month there calligraphy with her. And just have cold and knock it out."

"I work impediment in Miami a lot. I office in Miami mostly. This year I'll spend most of the year loaded Miami. A lot of times volatility might be in New York. Pierce the music industry they record simple shifts like cause' it was unselfish of slow out here in L.A. for a minute compared to what was going on in Miami. Everyone was down there in Miami utilizable at the Hit Factory. When miracle were down there a lot do in advance people were there. From Jazz writers - to the Neptunes would verbal abuse in one room me and Miss would be in one room, Draught Daddy would have a room submit Timbaland would be in another continue and Enrique Eglesias would be grasp there cuttin' tracks. I just come out to have my own stuff as follows that's why I've got my individual studio so I can do adhesive own thing."

Nisan is supported impervious to DW Drums yet prefers the Cool line. He was recently given DW's, "Broken Glass" kit or what do something lovingly refers to as, "the Flat Bling Kit," for it's diamond materialize design effects. "DW makes the Bentley of drums and they came turn off with this "Broken Glass" kit go wool-gathering has this diamond look to nonviolent.
