:: ARABESQUE BIO ::
Grief is only the memory of widowed affection’s, Arabesque calms his grief by recounting it. The Toronto born artist has turned the untimely death of his girlfriend and it’s mourning into an unbeaten career. His heart grieves over what he has lost, his spirit rejoices over what it has left, music. Since the passing of his companion, Arabesque’s remedy for grief has landed him a dozen heavily rotated singles on commercial radio and a hand full of videos on Much Music and MTV.

One of hip hop’s most talked about artists, Besque continues to intrigue Music’s biggest names. Signing with UK based label Sin Nombre with distro via Universal, “The Frenzy Of Renown” was released with glowing reviews. He was nominated Rap Recording of the Year at the 2007 Juno Awards, hosted by Nelly Furtado. International press in various publications, also landing him in a meet and greet with The Source Magazine staff in New York. Fall of 2007 Arabesque graced his first cover of an international magazine with NOX, the leading and most admired English speaking Mid East publication. A slew of global 12 inch singles with a wide-reach across campus radio charts. As well earning himself sponsorship’s from L-R-G and Scifen Clothing. Arabesque has opened up for artists such as Wu-tang's Raekwon, Little Brother, Zion I, Dilated Peoples and Sean Paul.
Arabesque has connected with Flipmode’s first lady, Rah Digga, to record the “Hang Your Heroes” EP. The combination of synth’s, vinyl static pops and clever cadence are sure to make this project a memorable one. Prepare for the official lynching this December as Skin I’m In Records/URBNET suspend Besque by the neck.
