BANGARANG

Bangarang captures the ears of his audience with his vast versatility. Having music in his family before his own conception has been the backbone in this Jersey-native's up-and-coming career. His father (David Laad) began his singing career in the 1960's. Signed to one the biggest music labels in Ecuador, his father ventured on another form of media starting a TV show called "El Clan del Cuatro". Currently, David Laad performs at shows in New York, New Jersey as well as Florida, and is working on a couple new projects.With his father's music knowledge instilled in him since childhood, Bangarang (a.k.a. ST) showed a high level of interest in music as an elementary school student, playing brass instruments such as the trumpet and the tuba. Once in high school, he made that crucial transition from playing popular pieces to creating authentic musical scores.At the dawn of this new beginning, Bangarang decided to shift his focus over to Hip-Hop. Using software like Reason, Fruity Loops and Acid for his production, his beat-making skills weren't exactly top notch. It wasn't until he was introduced to an MPC that his Hip-Hop and R&B beats could easily compete in the industry. The MPC took abstract ideas and through distinct samples, created a fresh new sound to break through today's monotonous Hip-Hop.But Bangarang's abilities are not limited to producing. His skills are as sharp on the MPC as they are on the microphone. 'Freestying' from cipher to cipher is what helped him discover his talent as an MC. Whether he found himself drinking or smoking amongst friends or recording at the studio with 'borderline-strangers', his rhymes were never timid. With consistency as his motto, ST knew he was headed in the right direction. Constantly 'freestyling' and practicing his song-writing techniques, he aimed for perfection at his craft. He gradually became the 'total-package' artist he is today.After all those years of writing rhymes during class rather than paying attention in class, Bangarang has the ability to deliver a stream of lyrics with ease. His lyrics are the fluid that bring his beats to life. All in all, this is Bangarang defined and summarized as an artist. His versatility goes to show that THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.
