| Releases: | [Stories] [Get Inside The Headphones] | | Info: | MC Choirboy from New Zealand has been rhyming, since 1994
when he first started in the band Tribal Groovers. He was
inspired to start when he heard the group SFC and realised
that he wanted to rap about reality and issues affecting the
youth.
Crew
He is member of the hip hop collective Project Zion.
Touring
In 1994 Tribal Groovers entered the Smokefree Rock Quest and
made the Wellington finals.
In 1996 MC Choirboy aged 17 toured New Zealand with the
group Certain Sounds, they were the hardest working band at
the time playing three high schools a day 5 days a week
(plus big concerts on the weekend) for 11 months. That's how
he performed in cities & countries like Singapore, Malaysia,
Brisbane, Sydney and New Zealand.
Debut Album
After the tour had finished he started writing for his first
album, which was finally released in 2004 entitled "Get
Inside The Headphones".
Compilations
Submitting a track produced by Doughboy to a New Zealand
compilation “Gifted and Maori volume 2”
Musical Expression
Music was not a way of life for him but a way of survival &
well being as a at risk young person. Like many young people
struggling with the system Choirboy also found music
performance as a way to express. Using song writing as a way
of telling Choirboy’s own stories. His musical journey took
him through an experience only artists would be blessed
with.
Producers
Teaming up with Southgate producers & now super reggae
artists Te Omeka & Carl Perkins of House Of Shem. Writing &
recording with them in the late 90’s was to be the beginning
of a recording career Choirboy now had the hunger for.
Music Experience
Fully entrenched in Wellington’s vibrant music scene
Choirboy met, played & recorded with various artists there.
Getting him self in the studio to record a demo, "Get inside
the Headphones EP" (2004) album made sense to Choirboy as it
would later be his launch pad to working with producer Aaron
Davey (Doughboy). Later introduced to Urban Pacifika Records
hit maker & New Zealand music award winning producer, the
late Phillip Fuemana.
Latest project
In 2010 the rapper released the album "Stories". |
