BLOWOUT

The brooklyn barber -Blowout, raised on music in a single parent home, started expressing himself lyrically at the age of 14. Shortly followed by the art of turntablism and beatmaking. Now as an experienced performer, developed emcee, turntablist/DJ and producer, Blowouts music can be found in the heads, headphones and homes of thousands across the country and overseas. Rocking at NYCs legendary Blue Note to LAs House of Blues along with various magazine writeups/cd reviews and fm radio staion interviews, Blowout alongside crewmates, Turntable Anihilsts, created a well respected name and buzz that continues to grow rapidly. Blowout, being a professional barber since a teen, helped mold Blowout the artist to keen common sense, logic and realism for topics, issues and concepts touched on innovative production from a DJs ear. As a turntablist/ DJ, he toured with the first official dj school, founded by Jam Master Jay - the scratch dj academy, showcasing and teaching. Also on the road with platinum selling group/artists such as Rusted Root and Ronny Jordan. Blowouts lyrics also blessed broadway in a sold out, three week run in NYCs New Victory theater on 42nd street alongside the hip hop collective, Full Circle.

He has shared the stage and/or opened as an emcee/dj or both, for artists such as Common, Jlive, Meshell Ndegeocello, Reggie Gaines, Buckshot, Beatnuts and many more well known respected artists. Aside from workin on his debut solo lp, Blowout is also involved in other music projects as well. Playing out in lounges and clubs for the mainstream nightlife to holding down the turntables for the Pete Miser band and guest appearing in hip hop, jazz, alternative live collectives, shows versitility in his craft. Blowout is an independent solo artist that also can play with the team. Each one of the Turntable Anihilists (Blowout, DP ONE, GI JOE & Xplor) have a massive amount of energy, talent and skill, and all together, touch every angle of hip hop expression by actually living it. Blowout, along with the Turntable Anihilists are without a doubt on their way to be amongst the elite forces in hip hop.-RenmanInterview w/ Chrue @ Elite barber shop.. width="425" height="350" .. .. width="425" height="350" ..DJ Blowout providing the music for designer Jenni Kayne's runway show during fashion week 2006
