Indiana was the place of his birth. A young kid
with a passion for music who had already acquired skills on the piano before
he’d decided to pick up the Baritone Sax by the time he’d reached middle school,
then later the Trombone before hitting the Tenor Sax and joining the school
band. Much has been said about young people getting schooled in the Art of
Music from a young age and how that sets the scene for a good grounding for a
career in the industry as an artist. Well, DJ_E.S.S. has those credentials.
After locating to Orlando, he was mentored in the
art of the Disc Jockey by a seasoned friend he was introduced to in 1998. This
friend taught him the ropes in the woodshed for six months teaching him the
necessary skills he needed to help him to secure a residency at Club 600 North in
Daytona Beach and the rest as they say, is history...
Let me introduce you to a pulsating piece of up
to date EDM.’ This guy knows what’s hot and current and makes no mistake
letting you know that he does! We imagine ‘Bad Chic’ being pumped through Heavy
Sound Systems across the Globe, driving clubbers into a frenzy with its no-nonsense,
get-on-the-floor attitude. The lush female vocal is tight, with a really infectious
lyric that just sticks in your head and won’t let you loose and as you know,
that’s a good first sign of a track that has hit potential!
See for yourself...

Son of a drug dealing mother CHOP-Z battled to
grow up the hard way and make something of himself. He found solace in Hip hop
which he obsessed about from a young age and later He discovered a talent for
emceeing which he decided to nurture to get away from the hustling and dealing
and killingas he saw around him on a daily basis. His older cousin Vado who is
in the music industry as an artist signed under DJ Khaled, just told him to
stay "humble & hungry" which he took to heart and be decided to
focus 100% on building a successful career in music and never looked back.
Free Formed is a tremendous piece of work.
The pain and emotion of his difficult upbringing can be heard clear as crystal
in his accomplished delivery. His key messages in his lyrics titles such as ‘Free
formers’, ‘Soundbwoy Killing’,
Goosebumps’ , ‘Miss Bedroom Eyes’, ‘Building’ and ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ showcase
the ability of an artist who has a wide range of diverse skills and can sets
moods in his songs accordingly.
The video for ‘Cry for the Youths’ (see
video link below), was filmed in Jamaica and is a Ghetto Lament. A song about
how the hopes, aspirations and innocence in a young child’s eyes can disappear
when then grow in an unproductive
negative environment and how this situation is all unacceptable on our planet
in 2016.
His influence such power house artists as
Nas, DMX, Big L, Tupac, Garnet Silk. As a youth he was schooled in the art
Reggae. His Uncle had a Sound system which blasted nothing but hard music,
night and day. Chop-z used to rap on over some of the songs from when he was as
young as three years old.
