About Me

A talented up and coming mc on the burgeoning Sydney hip hop scene, GAGE's real stories andflawless flows are nothing short of infectious.Well thought out and intricate lyrics are GAGE's trademark. His personal style of writingleans toward the story telling style of rap with heavy verses and catchy choruses enablinghim to get his message across to any audience. Whether speaking of heartbreak, inequality orjust having a great time, his music continually reflects his personal life. Carving up hugechunks of his soul and including them in every track, listeners can do nothing but relate.Growing up in Sydneys wild south west on a steady diet of basketball and hip hop, it wasonly natural for a gifted young student to pick up a pen and start writing. After many yearsof practising behind closed doors, an impromptu performance in front of friends saw GAGEenter a competition for a twenty five thousand dollar recording grant. Armed only with ascrapbook and a couple of beats, GAGE went head to head with seasoned performers and bandsposessing many years of experience and recordings. After some amazing performances by allcontestants Gage leapt ahead of many artists to be awarded runner up to the coveted prize.His fresh attitude, raw energy & individuality were immediately recognised by thecompetition organisers. GAGE was invested in as a special project and given the opportunityto team up with some of Sydney..s hottest writers and producers to expand his abilities.After spending the last two years honing a lifetime of skills and putting together acatalogue of work GAGE is ready to jump off this summer with the J.Spy produced undergroundtrack Like "2Get 2Know UWell". This remake of an 80's classic combines GAGE's smooth flowsover a funky, electronic inpsired beat that takes the original reggae flavour and adds a hiphop twist. Topped off with J.Spy's vocals on the chorus this is one track that is sure to dothe rounds!Stay posted for the Mike Silver house remix.With a follow up single and music video ready to drop and some live shows in the pipelinethis promises to be an exciting start to a career long in the [email protected]
