Mnolo has been producing electronic music & underground hiphop for ~7 years collaborating with many texas producers, mc's & musicians. Notes and mnolo met in 2004 and began collaborating on various project, most notabley Big Sound & Not a Word.

One day they decided to put their heads together on a dedicated release and chose the name walking sticks to characterize not only positive nature of the project but also to describe the genre they were to create, 'traveling music' , music to aide you on your journey through life, in both this physical reality as well as the spiritual (and don't forget psychedelic happy land). Some of Walking Sticks influences include dj vadim , de la soul, ninja tune, amon tobin, coldcut, prince paul, wu-tang, bob marley, james brown, big daddy kane, kmd, leaders of the new school.
