About Me


Deggs aka Tyekiz
Born in New Caledonia then raised in the Solomon Islands for 10 years before moving to Australia Noosa. I'm part Thai/Lao, part German and all me. Was introduced to a broad range of music at a young age including Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Boys II Men, Tupac Shakur etc.
In my first year of High School I started my first emmersion into the Hip Hop culture by breakdancing and from there I went to MCing and haven't stopped since.
Joined up with two child hood friends, 02 and Shaddow, to make a Multicultural Hip Hop trio called Dreds. However with the new addition of DJ Oh-James ( of the rock group The Gallant ) we have now expanded our crew.

and
I don't believe that everything happens for a reason. We make our own choices and should be responsible for them.
I Love Hip Hop, and I love the culture. I don't wanna really distinguish the kind of music I do coz thats for the listeners to decide, I mean yeah it's Hip Hop, but hey, what's Hip Hop to you? If you see some similarities in other artists then fair enough, I'm doing it for your ears. It's straight up real.
Hip Hop in Australia is steady growing and we seeing some real talented MC's these day so the competition is getting stronger and I'm all for it. To build a good foundation of the culture is what I'm steady aiming for.

My big sister for looking out for me and always being there.

Brooke Morgan for her support over three years.

My best two bro's 02 and Shaddow, not only as friends but as artists.

Musical wise a bit of everything...Growing up with my mum being a aerobic instructor I was around a lot of dance haha, SNAP and C+C Music Factory baby! But Hip Hop for me has always been solid as a genre and importantly as a culture.

A lot of reggae seeing as Honiara was very much a reggae nation. Lucky Dube stand up!!!

I Love a lot of RnB artists too, but I wouldn't say they influence what I write. A 90s child so I heard a lot of Lionel Richie, Boys II Men and Whitney Houston (minus the drugs somewhat) around. Soul like Carl Thomas, been getting into him lately! TQ, Usher, Wheesung and damn Wang Lee Hom, that kid has got a voice!

ALL my friends and peers that supported me through High School. Truly some of the best people I could ever hope to meet in life, I Love you guys and girls. GSLC Pride!

The Island I grew up in and all the people that affected my life there one way or another. Solo pride, may your hard times come to a close soon.

Last but not least, life.
