    Artist History
    Ashif had been creating sound effects and producing music for a few years, both as a hobby and as a freelancer for various companies. During this time he was also part of the video game industry in various positions ranging from R&D to Press and even Quality Assurance. Finally, after a bit of time building up equipment, he decided to make the plunge into forming a production house and creating music for a living. In doing so The DBO has been lucky enough to work with some of the bigger names in the entertainment industry, including Sony Computer Entertainment of America, Hasbro, and Disney.
