THEORY's cadences wrap themselves around a listener..s soul very much like an artery around a heart. He connects with a rhythm very much like drummer does a bass line. Born and raised in Oakland, California, THEORY has taken his experiences, and those close to him, and put them in the form of musical excellence. He has been influenced by the likes of Souls of Mischief, 3xKrazy, Tupac Shakur, Outkast, and Nas. THEORY has performed with and opened for Common, Mobb Deep, and KRS-One, with the help and promotion of Sokrates (Sok the Virgo) and Collectiv Records. What has always made THEORY..s music stand out are his use of metaphors, and his ability to reflect the people around him. ..I..m an advocate for my community, my class of people, my race of people, everything,.. he said. ..I try to understand their pain, they..re happiness, because if I can..t understand them, they can..t relate to me and vise versa. The spirit of revolution is within the youth of the community,.. he said. ..These are important people and they need to be guided, they need a friend and they need to be understood... His understanding of the youth comes through in his songs, into which he puts all of his emotions, feelings and perceptions. ..Everybody has a different perception,.. he said. ..Ten people can look at the same thing and have a different idea about what..s going on... Harmon..s awareness of his surroundings helps to explain how he came up with the name Theory. Theory..s goal as a rapper is to be able to share his experiences with the rest of the world. ..Every time I rap about deep, heartfelt depression, people are like, ..oh that..s the best song.., he said.THEORY has put out several albums including ..The 7th Day.., featuring Thundabyrd, ..Life.Theory.. through Collectiv Records, available at www.collectiv.com, and ..Altered Egos.. also featuring Bumbalo, and Bleez.Be on the look out for his upcoming album, scheduled for a 1st quarter release in 2007 on Collectiv Records/ Mixed Monthly, ...The.Rebirth, as well as his second solo album.
