Acclaimed producer and beat creator Printz Board was born as Priese Prince LaMont Board on September 11, 1978 in Columbus, Ohio.



As a musician, Printz's ear became open to all and rare forms of music. It is no wonder the San Diego State graduate was also open to the classical and more straight forward forms of music.



While in San Diego, Printz played trumpet as part of the horn section of cover band JammPact. He also lent his vocal talents with his signature raps in a triplet-based, synchopated feel. After Printz graduated from college, he found his way to Los Angeles, Determined, Hungry and Starving for a break in music and Broke! It wasn't long before he stumbled upon a band that needed a new keyboardist. Board had already decided to strike up his own band, but figured, what could it hurt to create music with another?



That band became the Black Eyed Peas. Printz alongside Will.I.AM began shaping the sound and history of BEP long before they became a success. Printz’ commitment and loyalty to his craft and friends have helped to not only establish him as a forefront in the BEP compound, but a known leader in the world of music and even film scoring.



Board, under his own production company, Beets and Produce, Inc., has scored films, commercials, made for TV movies and of course made musical history with and for artists, Macy Gray, John Legend, Shakira, Cassie Davis, Rebekah White, Fergie (as a solo artist), Will.i.am, The Black Eyed Peas, Busta Rhymes, Katy Perry and a host of others.



Printz Board also teamed up with Tim Izo Orindgreff to form the funk-infused musically exhilarated group Airpushers.



The duo originally formed their own band, Horn Dogs, but when that didn’t fly, Printz became involved with the Black Eyed Peas. He incorporated his instrumental and production abilities into all of the BEP albums, eventually becoming the Music Director. Tim later came on to add his DJ, programming, and various acoustic abilities.
