Much like the fictional character he derives his name from (Keyser Soze), Siah Soze seemingly appeared out of nowhere to take his preverbial piece of the Indiana Hip Hop pie. From his early feature on "A Life less Ordinary" to his recent features on "March of the Martyers", he has kept his name fresh on the minds of a variety of hip hop and rap fans through out the state. Accompanied by his long time partner in rhyme (5 years) Whitehead, he is part of one of the more well known acts in Indiana, The Kutthroatz. Since 2007's critically acclaimed "Aftershock", they have remained a dominate name in local music. In late 2008, Siah Soze officially became a core member of The Iron Workers Guild. Better known as IWG, it is a group of Indiana MC's brought together by producer Woodenchainz and Soze's Touring partner and close friend, Merc Versus. Many critics compare the group, though well acclaimed in its own rights, to an Indiana Wu Tang Clan. For some, a throw back to the Mid to late 90's Hip Hop scene. To whomever they are compared, one thing remains a solid fact, they are quickly gaining notice from many fans and industry players.Domingo DVD Spot
Siah Soze has performed live at many establishments through out his great state. They include the Tip Top Tavern, Spin Night Club and The Marriot in Indianapolis. Doc's Music Hall, the Launching Pad, Mo's Tavern, Village Green Records, The Silver Palace (Now Closed), various campus parties (Ball State University), Stevie Ray's House of Wax (Now Closed), Club Olympus (Now Mo's Tavern) and the Horizon Convention Center in Muncie.

The Eagle Theater in Pontiac, Mi opening up for Wu Tang's Bronze Nazareth and The Wisemen. He has also had the pleasure of opening up for acts like Black Sheep, grammy winners The Digable Planets, international hip hop legend Canibus (twice), Dylon ( MTV's Making the Band), platinum recording artist B.G. (from Cash Money Records) and Wu-Tang recording artists Solomon Childs.
He has had the opportunity to speak with a small variety of industry players like Russell Simmons (founder of Def Jam), Domingo (Producer of Big Pun's "Dream Shatterer"), Kool G Rap (Juice Crew), Doodle Bug (Digable Planets), Canibus (2nd round K.O.), Swan (MTV Battle runner-up), Royce da 5'9 (from Eminem's "Slim Shady Lp"), M-80 (Wu-Tang Clan), Dylon (MTV's Making the band), DJ Top Speed and Norm Ski (Hot 96.3 in Indianapolis) as well as recording in the Dayton Family's studio (Flint, Michigan).
