Deezuz-SOULDENERA OUT NOW

About Me

Born in Vancouver, BC, Deezuz moved to Calgary with his family when he was three years old. His older brother introduced him to hip-hop when he was in grade 1 and Deezuz instantly fell in love with the culture as a whole. As the years would pass, Deezuz’s knowledge and appreciation of the art form grew steadily.However, being a fan of the culture wasn’t enough to satisfy Deezuz’s appetite for hip-hop. Deezuz soon began writing his own raps and began impromptu performances at house parties, talent shows and anywhere else that he could get an opportunity to be heard. His raps received so much positive feedback from his peers that he thought about professionally recording his music. This led Deezuz to enroll at Calgary’s prestigious studio, The Beach, where he completed audio engineering classes and spent countless hours recording artists of all genres. Being in this element not only allowed Deezuz to learn about all types of music, it also taught him how to record, arrange, and mix his own music. Deezuz quickly realized that there were very few outlets in Calgary for him to get his music out to the public. This would lead him to form Maintain One Voice Entertainment (MOVE) with Kiran Sthankiya and Asim “Adollaz” Haque. By combining forces with two other partners, Deezuz was able to start releasing local mixtapes and performing at various venues throughout the city. He soon became a fan favourite for his lively performances and constant new material. These shows snowballed into bigger opportunities including touring and opening for larger acts. Deezuz has performed in over 200 shows and has opened for Method Man, Redman, The Clipse, Boot Camp Click, Ill Bill, Slum Village, Moka Only, DL Incognito and DJ Kool Herc as well as toured throughout Western Canada.After releasing over a half-dozen mixtapes the time has finally arrived for Deezuz to release his debut album, Souldenera. Souldenera features 15 soul-infused hiphop tracks with production by Blunt, Engineer, Jeff Spec and MidiMARC and appearances by Sean Price, Kool G Rap, Buckshot, Joe Scudda, Moka Only, Fatty Down and others. The album will be available on March 1, 2008ORDER SOULDENERA NOW AT WWW.MAINTAINONEVOICE.COM/STORE WWW.HMV.CA WWW.AMAZON.CA WWW.INDIGO.CA or JUST GOOGLE DEEZUZ - SOULDENERAFor booking, inquiries and media contact: Kiran Sthankiya, MOVE Inc.
