About Me

Vote for this Video on The Click List and help get it on the top 10http://www.logoonline.com/shows/dyn/the_click_list/video_v oting.jhtmlAlso check out this short video interview with my other band, Ice Cream Socialites.Katastrophe is a seasoned vet on the mic, he's a genre-busting emo-hop MC whose stunning lyrical skills merge with beats that slide from slick to raw to solid to eccentric, creating a sonic otherworld that snags you in a dance-trance while teasing your head with rhymes that snap, pop and educate. With a background of slam poetry, (Katastrophe was a featured youth slam performer in the acclaimed documentary Poetic License), Katastrophe..s MC delivery veers from clever machine gun rat-a-tat to hypnotic emotional rhythm, and on his heavily anticipated second release, Fault, Lies, and Faultlines explores new melody. Recently crowned Producer of the Year by Out Music Awards,(for his debute album Let's Fuck, Then Talk About My Problems), Katastrophe..s beats rev and surprise, inspired by the grime craze and emo scene as well as both traditional and underground hip hop. A hybrid sound that challenges genre, Katastrophe fills his layered beats with lyics that rif on pop culture, slide into personal revelation, call bullshit on contemporary culture, offer a ragged hope for revolution and flirt with a pretty girl on the dance floor, all in the course of a song.Look out for Katas featured in the film Pick Up The Mic, now airing on Logo Mtv Network and in film fests across the world.You can buy my cd's now or check me out on itunes music and buy a single songLET'S FUCK, THEN TALK ABOUT MY PROBLEMS for $12.31 (s&H not included) or FAULT, LIES AND FAULTLINES for $12.31 (s&H not included)
