   DJ TOOMP


Grammy-winning, multi-platinum selling producer and songwriter, Toomp (formerly DJ Toomp) has been an urban music trump card for two decades. As one of a handful of artists and producers, Toomp has helped create, develop and later expand Atlanta's Southern hip hop sound onto the national stage. From as early as high school, when he cut his first recording, Toomp's musical creativity and instincts have been a force to be reckoned with. Among the impressive list of artists who have benefited from Toomp's talents – Lil Jon, 8 Ball & MJG, Stat Quo, Boyz in Da Hood, Busta Rhymes, Kayne West, Ludacris, TI, Young Jeezy, among dozens of others.

Toomp's father, a professional singer himself, taught his son how to harmonize at six. Four years later, Toomp heard a looped version of "Rapper's Delight" and it made an unforgettable impression on him. "Up until that point, I thought I'd be a singer, like my father, or musician.

   Dj Honda

Hip Hop is global. Evidence of this phenomenon is Japan's full embrace of hip hop's every facet: breakdancing, graffiti, DJing, and even rhyming. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese hip hop scene produced an artist keen enough in understanding the culture to achieve similar international appeal: dj honda. dj honda was born in Hokkaido, Japan and moved to Tokyo at age 17 to pursue his dream of playing in an American influenced rock band. He started a band called, "Clique" as the vocalist & guitarist. However, the band struggled and honda was forced to seek additional employment. He began DJing in a small nearby city, Shizuoka where he was first introduced to hip hop music and various turntable techniques, including scratching. For honda, the turntables offered a new creative outlet. While toiling at perfecting his scratching technique, he created a popular name for himself as a DJ, leading to premiere gigs in Tokyo's largest clubs. He also appeared on Tokyo radio stations and remixed popular tracks for local record companies. Tokyo was also important because it was the place where dj honda would cultivate many valuable relationships with people like Afrika Bambaata and the Universal Zulu Nation, as well as some of the emcees who would later appear on his self-titled debut LP.
