Metaform (born Justice Aaron) is an American music producer, musician, and songwriter. He is considered a prominent figure in the development of instrumental Hip-Hop and first gained notice with the release of his highly acclaimed debut album Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, which was constructed entirely from samples.

Metaform grew up in Los Angeles in a musical household. His Dad played Leonard Cohen, Simon and Garfunkel, and Ravi Shankar records, while Mom listened to Whitney Houston and Curtis Mayfield. His parents divorced in 1988 and soon after he moved to San Francisco with his mother and three sisters. He spent the year of 1998 as an intern at Spark Studios in Oakland, California, in which time he had experience working with E-40, Tone Capone, and Scarface. He spent the year of 1999 shipping records for TRC distribution at which time he delved deeper into the already buzzing Bay-Area Hip-Hop scene. From 2000-2005, he worked as a free-lance sound engineer and worked with many high-profile acts including: DJ Jazzy Jeff, Afrika Bambaataa, Pharcyde, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, Goapele, Zion-I, and many others. He graduated from San Francisco State University in 2005 before moving back to Los Angeles and then to Tokyo.

    I started off with Electric Mist and it's grown on me. Gonna give the first album a try. Maybe I haven't heard it first, but I really like Electric Mist. Very relaxing to listen to.
