Born in 1989 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Persy-Lowis Bulayumi grew up in Vienna, Austria, as the first child of the author Espérance Francois Ngayibata Bulayumi and his wife Godelieve Matondo Bulayumi. He soon descovered his passion for music and by the age of seven he started playining the piano, but what he didn't know at that time was that it should not be classical music which would take a big part in his life. Aside from playing the piano in his childhood he also sang in different churches and at junior high he joined the drama club and the school choir. At the age of thirteen he gets attracted by Hip Hop and R'n'B but he never lost his passions for Michael Jackson and stuff from the 60ties, 70ties and 80ties. He also developed a passion for Drum'n'Bass, Reggae, Dancehall and artists like Ayo but Hip Hop and R'n'B both equally still remained to be his nr. 1 genres. The first time Persy acted as a dj was at a little club in Vienna called Vibrations, thx to his mentor David aka DJ Dave who was the first to encourage him by just leaving him alone with the turntables. It was also David who invented the pseudonym Royal P, with which a new personality appeard. Nowadays he already played in clubs like, Volksgarten Banane, and the legendary U4. Royal P is not only a DJ, he's also an upcoming producer, singer and editor of a soon outcoming youth magazin. By the time there's no recordlabel he's signed to, but he's a new member of the warda.at crew, which brought The Game to the U4 and organizes several parties and events in Vienna. He's also specialized in the Chopped&Screwed-technique which is a variety of Hip Hop. This is accomplished by slowing the tempo and applying techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and effecting portions of the music to make a "chopped-up" version of the original. The word that would describe Royal P the best is renegade.
