About Me


Please support me by attaching this banner to your myspace; simply copy the coding below into any section of your page details.
I began writing rhymes and making music in the early years of highschool, and in 2004 after establishing a name as a battle MC formed a band called Natural Causes (www.myspace.com/naturalcausescrew) with two close friends that shared the same interests.
In the following years we hooked up with Sydney Dj, Dj Illa & toured extensively both locally and interstate, gaining recognition for our thought provoking, energetic and rowdy live show. During this period we supported prominent Australian hip-hop artists such as Hyjak and Torcha, Milk Bar Stars (Pegz, Muph n Plutonic, DJ Bonez), Andy Strushka, Maya Jupiter, The Winnie Coopers, Hospice Crew, Def Wish Cast, Fame & 13th Son, Swarmy G, Binge Thinkers, The Funkoars and many more. Natural Causes also became the flagship crew for Sydney independent record label Nurcha Records (www.nurcharecords.com) and commenced work on our debut release. In 2006 we featured on a number of releases, the most notable of which is Dave V's album "V" (Nurcha Records, circa Obese Records 2006), on which our track 'When Gravity Calls" recieved considerable praise and airplay.
In 2006 we realised that internal obligations and commitments were going to force a temporary hiatus from recording and performance duties, and thus I decided to start work on my solo EP "The Stigmata", a criticism of commercialisation within the music industry, using religion and mythology as a focal metaphor. I began to tour locally and interstate supporting artists such as Bliss n Eso, Phrase & DJ Flagrant, The Winnie Coopers, Hyjak, 3to2, DJ Master, DJ Bacon, Infallible, Litigate (Fizard), Bukkcity, Tornts & Bigfoot, K Rino & Anecdote inorder to promote and develop the album, and in July finished pre production of the EP.
Keep an ear out for snippets and promotionals from the EP, and for news and updates in terms of shows, appearances and developments.
