Kevin Reilly a.k.a. "Offset Beats" (formerly "Larry Byrd") began composing music in the late 90s to provide a soundtrack to skate videos he was producing. The videos he was releasing were edited on primitive gear like two VCRs, and his beats were made with whatever he could get his hands on. This included some of the earliest music software, vintage synths, and classic samplers like the MPC 3000. As the St. Louis hip hop scene began to explode in the early 2000s, so did the demand for his beats. Kevin continued to add to his resume all the way through 2022 by working with artists like Nelly, Murphy Lee, Ruka Puff, COMIC, Fresco Kane, Eric Tha Red, Story if the Year, Phoinix Keys, and K!NG QUE. He also released his first instrumental album in 2022, which garnered rave reviews and earned spots on some of the biggest lofi playlists. For 2023 and beyond, OB is on the lookout for new artists and opportunities. If you would like to explore working together, please reach out! info@offsetbeats.com
