Kristopher Calhoun (born October 23, 1990), known simply as Menize Beats, is a hip hop recording artist from Moreno Valley, California. Kris started out playing music he heard by ear on a small keyboard his parents had got him as a gift at the age of 10. Catching on really quick on what he heard on radio stations, soon Kris started producing his own music. At the age of 14 his parents noticed his talent and invested in a more advanced keyboard for him. Kris quickly went to work on the beats he had in his head. Soon after, he also started learning how to mix and master his music on mixing boards and high end recording software.
