Digital Native (Supa Dave West) is an accomplished record producer and virtuoso drummer with a rugged, melodic and neck breaking sound that has offered a fresh canvas to a number of mainstream and underground artists throughout the years. His musical journey started at a young age in the church. His Pentecostal Holiness upbringing exposed him to music and arrangement. His unique approach and gift took him around the world as a tour drummer and eventually an accomplished music producer.
Digital Native syncopated drum programming and unique sample chopping style quickly caught the attention of some of the hottest artists in the game. He even signed a deal for his group “Hot Sauce” with Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest.

Dilla, Michelle N’Degeocello, Eric Roberson, Jim Jones, Ghostface, Masta Killa and Rza from the Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, and De La Soul.
