Downpat’s constant activity on the stage, in the studio, or on the street has made him known as the all-out hard-slog emcee that he is. Rocking his hip-hop around the traps of the BNE since around 2000, DP is not new to this.
A Chef by trade, D-Pizzle incorporates his zest for cooking food and burning emcees into almost every aspect of his work. His track with the Master Chefs, entitled 'Pass The Salt' is a perfect example of this.
Downpat a.k.a. The Chef X can play a wide variety of instruments ranging from percussion (was taught to play drums by Kerry Jacobson of Dragon, N.Z. rock band of 70’s and 80’s well known in Australia), Strings to Brass. This may have something to do with his hard-hitting, funky, rhythmic style of Hip-Hop.
Downpat possesses natural emceeing talent. His ability to incorporate his style of rhythm with others’ around him, in freestyle or rehearsed performance makes him one of the future Oz MC’s to look out for.
The Chef X also appeared on a limited local release 'Beyond 4000' in which his track 'My Way' was one of the standout submisisons. Beyond 4000 was for sale only at Rockinghorse Records, Brisbane City.
Downpat is currently working on production and writing towards his debut release, and can be found chopping up ingredients anywhere between Darwin and Brisbane. Additional projects include Duck Hunters - A battle-style duo consisting of Downpat and MCRotheee.
