Influences: Seph Poetic, known by friends and family as Joseph Grayo was born in Philadelphia, PA in 1983. His music career started in 6th grade while starring as Danny Zucco in his grade school rendition of the musical "Grease". During a performance he was scouted by the director of the Philadelphia Boys Choir. In his days with the choir, highlited performances included solo acts at the world famous Sydney Opera House in Australia and at Carnegie Hall in New York City. After leaving the choir Seph continued his musical aspirations by fronting several orignal rock bands up and through high school. These bands included Bad Bam Boo, All-Star Campus, and The Suicide Pact. After a valiant attempt at becoming a college student, he then decided to take on the United States Marine Corps. During his 4 year term in the Corps he encountered musicians of all sorts from all around the world. Not having the time or space to conduct a full band, he then realized he would have to do it on his own. And the Bounce Projekt was born.TOP 10 MUSICAL INFLUENCES AND INSPIRATIONS :1.
