Influenced by Timbaland and Quincy Jones because of their diversity and knowledge in music, he was determined to become a great producer.  Wanting to have a unique name that people would remember and how the music would sound, he chose Skitzo because he performed voice overs.  He has shown his talent in every track he makes, diverse and intense.  At the age of 15-years-old he produced his first beat for 2 way Alerts in 1997.  In 2001, he was featured on the mixtape “We Bare Armz” by Loose Cannon and Bazaar Royale.

While working for Def Jam street team for six months and stopping by the office, he knew of another Bronx native, rapper, J. R. Writer who was an influential person to his success. J. R. Writer was with the Diplomats and allowed Cam'Ron to hear his beat, which resulted in a gold album for “Get ‘Em Girls”.
