I'm not sure that this isn't a hoax. If it isn't, I can't find any reliable sources sufficient to establish notability, so he doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. It can be argued that it can be merged/redirected to Beastie Boys but he isn't even mentioned there, which is part of the reason I think this may be a hoax.

• Delete. I have not been able to find any sources to verify notability, so the article fails the verifiability principle of Wikipedia. Even if there were sources to verify the contents of the article as it stands, it is doubtful whether it would meet the notability requirements of the encyclopedia. Performing a turkey call on national television, a robin call on a film and being rumoured to have been involved in a failed film project are not great claims to notability. If he "mixed and scratched" alongside notable people, it just goes to show that notability isn't necessarily contagious! See WP:NOTINHERITED. Wikipeterproject (talk) 21:30, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I also cannot find any sources. Non-notable at best, probable hoax. Edward321 (talk) 20:37, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
