Hailing from White Plains, a suburb of New York City, Beans (aka Mr Ballbeam) was one of the founder members of New York's legendary Antipop Consortium, which disbanded in 2002. With his distinctive fast-flowing poetic style, Beans manages to amalgamate witty, thoughtful lyrics with his own productions of "Chunky psychedelic electro-hop".

Signed to former Antipop label, Warp Records, Beans has had two LP and two EP releases since starting his solo career in 2003: Tomorrow Right Now (2003), Now Soon Someday (2003 EP), Down By Law (2004 EP), and latest release Shock City Maverick (2004).
