| Info: | David Veira also known as Gauge gives a positive spin on
real-life situations, this has gained him both street
credibility and industry attention.
Roots
Being a native of Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York there is no
doubt that his hip-hop roots run deep. His lyrical and
rhyming skills were seasoned by his Trinidadian heritage as
well as legendary schoolyard battles on his home turf.
Media
Gauge's unique flavor sparked the attention of media such as
but not limited to "On Deck Demo Reviews" and "Rap Pages" in
addition to a feature in The Source’s Unsigned Hype
column.
Open Mic
Noticed at an open mic event by Maestro Fresh Wes, (the
legendary Canadian MC) Gauge later toured with him
throughout the United States and Canada.
Performances
This opportunity led to performances with the Fugees,
GangStarr, Wu-Tang Clan, and Coolio. His work ethic and fan
base enabled him to attain these achievements without being
signed to a major record label.
Single
His stage appearances were preceded by the secular release
of "Cranium" (1996), an underground release through Maestro
Records that sold over 9000 units. The single’s success
included 13 weeks of airplay on Hot 97, in addition to
Gauge’s recognition as one of the highest selling
underground artist.
Tour
Another highlight of his career included a European tour in
countries such as Germany, England and Switzerland. He
enjoyed even more success through the MTV circuit by
performing with Trinidad’s Soca Monarch winner Bunji
Garlin at the International Concert in New Orleans and by
hosting an episode of "Sucker Free Sunday".
Shamellion Rebellion
Gauge, also a member of the renaissance group Shamellion
Rebellion, has performed throughout New York. The Shamellion
Rebellion is critically acclaimed for having one of the
greatest stage shows in the Tri-State area.
Great loss
On February 16th, 2004 Gauge lost his mother Credo Veiro,
who past away due to a fatal car accident. Ten percent of
Mental Link Inc's proceeds will be donated to the Credo
Veiro Memorial Foundation, a non-proit organisation, which
will contribute towards scholarship assistance, medical
supplies for hospitals in desperate need, education and
assistance for autistic children and other good causes.
