Scott LukomskiScott "Smooth as Silk" Lukomski was first drawn to the sound of bass frequencies as a youngster growing up in the inner city of Milwaukee. As an impressionable and very stylishly clad youth he would sit on the stoop of his parents home, his keen ears poised for the rumblings of cars with their stereos pumping as they sped down the busy street and parked at the house on the corner. Most of the neighbors called the police but Scott loved the low, booming sounds and one day his curiosity got the better of him and he decided to take a walk down to that house and knock on one of those car windows. The occupant turned out to be none other than the renowned Bassmaster and hustler, Loskivious Charles who agreed to take young Scott under his wing. Scott learned much from Master Loskivious and it was he who christened his young disciple with the name ?Smooth as Silk.? Scott continues to utilize the Master?s teachings in his day to day dealings and if you are ever at a traffic light and hear a car stereo rattling and straining with the pounding of a bass turned up too high, it just may be your very own Scott ?Smooth as Silk? Lukomski. |
