Andrew Vilaythong was born in Wichita, Kansas. As a young boy, his parents would call him kadook, the Lao word for 'bone', because he was so skinny. His sister shortened it to dook, and later called him by dookie, and the name stuck.

Andrew first made music around the 3rd grade when he'd call girls just so he could impress them by playing Mary Had A Little Lamb on the telephone's 1, 2, and 3 keys. He then started crafting ill beats in the game Mario Paint on Super Nintendo. In his 6th grade year, he played trumpet and was still one of the cool kids. He got turntables in high school and mixed and scratched and DJ'ed house parties, school functions, and a wedding or two. He started remixing popular radio hits by rubbin' his shit on 'em. Not literally, though. Gross.

Today, he wears many hats: composer, arranger, producer, recording/mixing engineer, songwriter, drummer, and occasionally, a recording artist and performer. These days, he makes a living as a tenf degree black belt ninja-for-hire in Chicago, making bad-ass beats and bad-ass motherfuckin' beats merely as a business front.
