In the end we’re all about our music’ says John Mallia of 6th Simfoni.
The trio composed of Jon Mallia (a.k.a. Pandemonium) from I.Q., David Leguesse (a.k.a. Dizzy) from ‘Sanatorium’ together with the classical accompaniment of Simon Vella’s violin, are out to change the face of locally spawned hip-hop with an eclectic mix of well, hip-hop, blues and funk , the all sinuously interwoven to produce an all new sound. Add to the mix a whole array of classical overtones from Simon and what you get is an entirely new breed of music.
When questioned upon their strengths it is Simon who offers a reply with a raised brow! ‘Versatility’ Simon says; ‘We all come from different backgrounds and when our experiences are pooled together, what comes out is….’6th Simfoni’.
‘We speak of the street, every day people and every day situations’ adds David, at which John quickly interjects, ‘our pieces deal with human experiences and emotions.’
Behind the three is Niki Gravino who as producer and concept developer has proven invaluable in contributing to 6th Simfoni's musical identity! ‘The 6th revolve around an open-minded approach and a musical sensitivity not often associated with the hip-hop artist’ says Niki when questioned on his views. ‘Two conflicting inclinations, an alacrity to push it to untried limits and a fear of rejection interplay with each-other and once honed and directed, actually serve to create an edgy, no-boundaries style that although retaining an essentially American stylistic form is nonetheless rooted in a wholly unique and utterly intriguing Mediterranean nuance! With the 6th the magic is ever just round the corner, its just a matter of plugging in and letting it rip.’
In the pipeline are a series of local gigs over the coming months though in truth the three have set their sights on loftier peaks with a planned overseas tour come September. Strong contacts with U.S. based labels have opened up new prospects.
Sixth symphony will also be releasing their debut Album sixth symfoni that will be hitting the shelves come August 06.
Fresh, original and simply unique…this is 6th Simfani, three homegrown boys with a bagful of dreams, a heart-full of song and an attitude to booth! Step on board and enjoy the ride!!!
