BIOGRAPHY
ENGLISH
Sick of Rappers talking nonsense - spitting silly lyrics at the speed of a machinegun? Tired of the bling bling boom boom? Annoyed by MCs that are so concerned with showing off that they ruin a DJs set and the real reason you came to the club: THE MUSIC?!
Live, Kemo fully adapts to the music, the atmosphere and the crowd. The music always plays the main role. He sees his job as adding a cherry on top. He flows over just about anything and keeps it real. Whether he is freestyling with the Digable Planets to live Jazz grooves, kicking rhymes to Drum & Bass or flowing on House and Broken Beats with Matt Flores – from the Nature One Festival to the underground club in your hood. It‘s all good.
Kemo’s global upbringing allowed him access to a wide variety of cultures and experiences. This is clearly reflected in his musical work, as he is currently working on Dubstep tracks with Bango Collective from Lithuania, Uptempo and Broken Beat bangers with Matt Flores on Combination Records and Zed Bias from England, as well as on Hip Hop and Trip Hop tracks with J.Buzz from Germany, Museum from England, and many many more. Especially notable is the close collaboration with DJ Lynx from England, with whom he has had several releases on the legendary Soul:R label. 2008 will see a Lynx & Kemo album on Soul:R!
Kemo’s special strength, next to his diversity and extremely powerful, warm voice, is his way of communicating images. Not only does he sound good, his lyrics can be experienced like a short film. Falling for his voice is easy, his style is unique and his world is welcoming and intriguing. Here, his Hawaiian roots become clear. He has the calm, the strength, the depth and the magic of the ocean.
An absolute delight.
DEUTSCH
Schnauze voll von Rappern die sinnlos rummucken? Genug vom Bling Bling & Boom Boom? Genervt von Mcs, die mit ihren Maschinengewehr Geschichten in ihrem Profilierungswahn laut schreien, nichts erzählen und das Set des DJs ruinieren? Und ganz nebenbei damit den Grund vernichten, warum du zum Club gehst: wegen der MUSIK!
Live ist Kemo längst kein unbeschriebenes Blatt mehr, ob er mit Digable Planets auf Jazz Grooves freestylt, Rhymes auf Drum & Bass kickt oder auf House und Broken Beats flowt. Auf der Bühne passte er sich ganz der Musik, der Crowd und der Atmosphäre an, Kemo keeps it real. Seine Stimme ist prägnant, ohne aufdringlich zu sein, vielleicht wird in der Ruhe und Kraft seine Verbindung zu Hawaii und dem Meer besonders deutlich.Kemo's besondere Stärke, neben seiner starken und warmen Stimme, ist seine ausgereifte Bildsprache. Wenn man sich auf seine Texte einlässt, entführt er einen kurzerhand in seine Welt, teils mit straighter politischer Aussage, aber auch cineastisch, fanatsievoll, bildgewaltig.
Der auf Hawaii geborene Amerikaner Jimmy Blitz aka Kemo feilt schon seit Jahren an seinen Lyrics und Skillz. Sein aktuelles Schaffen zieht ihn mehr und mehr ins Rampenlicht der Öffentlichkeit. Kemo ist Kosmopolit, geprägt durch eine Vielfalt kultureller Einflüsse und Erfahrungen, die sich vor allem in seiner musikalischen Arbeit widerspiegeln. Sein Repertoire könnte umfassender nicht sein, so tüftelt er momentan an Dubstep Tracks mit dem Bango Collective aus Litauen, an Uptempo und Broken Beat Stücken mit Matt Flores auf Combination Records und Zed Bias aus England, sowie an Hip Hop Tracks mit J. Buzz aus Düsseldorf, Museum aus England u.v.a. Die meisten Props bekommt er allerdings aus der Drum & Bass Szene, denn der von DJ Lynx produzierte Track ‘Global Enemies’, dem Kemo seine Stimme lieh, schlägt schon lange vor seinem Release einige Wellen in England. 2008 wird ein Lynx & Kemo Album auf Soul:R erscheinen!
Ein wahrer Genuß.
