IOM
"Bob" or Bobby Fonteyne is a beat producer from Canberra Australia. Bobby has played the bass geetarr in a whole heap of Canberra bands over the last 8yrs and started makin hip hop beats a few years ago in his home studio.
Bobby Fonteyne needed rhymes over his beats so he had to start writtin his own and teamed up with lyrical mastermind "Codez" to form The Isle of Man (IOM).
Bobby records live instruments as well as phat samples and has a shit-load of guest musicians and mc's on his tracks.
Bobby Fonteyne is currently touring with Canberra uber-band, Dan Banks Bandand enjoys getting his bass out and having a slap with funksters Blue Zoo. Bobby's has now moved to Melbourne where he is live out his dream of becoming a rock super star.
CODEZ or Tim to his friends, has been an emcee since moving from the South Coast NSW to Canberra in 2001. Codez has been a big lover of hip hop all of his life and once he moved to Canberra was exposed to the Aussie Hip hop scene.
In 03 Codez made this one beat which was alright. He showed Bob who had come round to hang out and play a bit of video games and shit. They both kicked their rhymes and were both blown away with each others efforts and the sound of the track.( Silence Violence )
IOM was formed!
Then Codez heard Bobs Beats..... From that day on Bobs been in charge of production for IOM. Everything we rhyme on has the FONTEYNE SIGNATURE . Bob's has a huge amount of talent, both as a producer and a rhymer. Not to mention his experience in making music.
Thanks for checking out the IOM myspace.
ENJOY
CODEZ
