GANG$IGN$ was created by 24 year old Portland Oregon local, Nick Sisouphanh. At an early age he acquired a fascination and talent for music. Starting off with playing jazz music on the saxophone, which evolved to learning a wide variety of instruments. Nickʼs influences come from an assortment of different styles, anywhere from Jazz to Punk Rock. But early on he was intrigued by hip hop and later discovered a new found love for electronic music.
With the realization that lyrics were irrelevant to him and his admiration for music he began to focus on making beats and learning the technical aspects of production. At the age of 16, He started making electronic based music in FL Studio and later experimented with other DAWs such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and Reason. In 2006, Nick took a break from electronic music and started multiple hardcore/punk bands. During the years of being in bands, Nick has toured the west coast and played events such as the Vans Warped Tour. As the bands started to break up, he fell back in love with electronic based music and started producing electronic music again.
Today, as GANG$IGN$, Nick self released his first EP ‘GOOD IDEAS // HOOD IDEAS’. The EP features samples from Doris Day, The Postal Service, and French House producer DANGER. As a bonus, the EP included remixes of Timbalandʼs ‘Bounce‘ and Skrillexʼs ʻScary Monsters and Nice Spritesʼ. His remixes have been supported in the sets of Flosstradamus, and Big Chocolate.
