Biografie
Music is an expression, music is an art. For many people this rings true, but never more so than for the lyricist MC D.
Cutting across genre's whether it be R&B, Hip Hop, Hard Trance, Hardstyle, Happy Hardcore, Breaks, House, D prides himself on the fact that no matter what the style of music is, he's able to step up and command the microphone like no other. One look at D on stage, it's obvious that it's more than just emceeing, it's a release. What sets D apart from any other emcee is his ethic, "all I want to do is just jump up there and treat the crowd to something special." D does that and more as many will attest to, here and abroad.
Growing up in a predominantly R&B/Soul household, his teen years marked the start of his love affair with electronic dance music through the form of happy hardcore. Starting out when he was 13 rhyming over old happy hardcore mixtapes, it wasn't until he was 18 that emceeing became a reality. Confessing his influences to be Stanton Warriors, Aphrodite, Freq Nasty, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Cosmic Gate, Dumonde, Nick Warren, Darren Styles, Re-con, Showtek, Davide Sonar, MC Storm, MC Whizzkid, MC DV8 it's easy to see that D has a love for various styles of music, something he considers his strength. Locally his influences are Suae, Pulsar, Weaver, Arbee, Nitrouz, SDee, Likquid, Mike Hyper, Nud-e (Madam Events), Normz, Sefu, C-bu, Tom Piper, MC's Destiny, Obi, Phili and also DJ Gadg't (Liberty), many of whom have supported him throughout the various scenes and continue to do so.
His resume is impressive with residencies and past appearances at clubs such as Sublime @ Home Nightclub, Progress @ Gas Nightclub, Gas & Bohem Nightclub, Candy Shop @ Stardust, Dendy Bar, Space Nightclub, Bamboo @ Martin Place Bar, Verandah Bar, Chocolate City @ UN. Honey Roasted @ Greenwood Hotel, XXL @ Greenwood Hotel also touring Vietnam in 2005, at Klub Kandy @ Family Nightclub in Brisbane, Reactor: System Critical feat. Endymion & Ophidian, MASIF: The Event along side Sydney's best and also Steve Hill, Luca Antolini, Dark By Design, and Andy Farley, Fight The Future series feat. The Hitmen, Davide Sonar and most recently Megara vs DJ Lee, MANIC feat. Breeze, Squad-e (aka Hypasonic) and Technikal, PHD launch & Subsonic in Brisbane alongside Pulsar, Soul-T & X Dream as well as Suae & HardForze, Harder Styles United featuring Scope DJ, Fantasia series and last but not least Utopia Unity and Homegrown.
D's achievements are long and fast such as hosting Masif Saturdays with Yoji (formerly known as Yoji Biomehanika, SHOKK, SHOCK:FORCE and Dark By Design, the Black - Hardcore arena at the first Def Qon 1 Festival in Sydney, Australia along side Evil Activities, The Viper, Art Of Fighters, Endymion, DJ Decipher, Noize Surpressor, The Playah, Spellbound & Kasparov and again in 2010 he was back in the Black Arena along side Outblast, Mad Dog, Evil Activities, Korsakoff, Promo and Unexist. Also hosting the main stage at Magic City which featured such artists as Zany, Donkey Rollers, Noisecontrollers, Kamui, Alex Kidd, Kidd Kaos, The Pitcher, Jowan, Dr Willis, Toneshifterz and fulfilling a life long dream emceeing alongside one of his influences MC DV8. 2011 has seen him consistently tearin' roofs off clubs alongside Flarup, Davide Sonar and back again at Magic City with D-Block & S-te-fan, Wildstylez, JDX, Kai Tracid, Dumonde, Stephahie and Zatox and back for the 3rd year running at Def Qon 1 Australia in the Black Arena.
2010 also marked the beginning of what has been a great journey with the start of Masif Saturdays which in 2012, became top 5 clubs as voted at the Hard Dance Awards. Alongside good friends DJ Pulsar, Suae and Steve Hill, as the resident MC D has had the opportunity and honor of hosting and emceeing alongside some of the worlds best including, Showtek, The Prophet, Alpha Twins, Isaac, Kutski, Da Tweekaz, Alex Kidd, Atmozfears, Tranzlinquants, Marlo, Technikal, Dark By Design, Uberdruck, Rebourne, ASYS, Chris One, DERB, A-Lusion, Slim Shore, Scott Attrill, K90, Audio Freq, Tatanka, Activator, Digital Punk, Scope DJ, Toneshifterz, Code Black, Nitrouz, Wasted Penguinz, Marcel Woods, Scot Project, Luca Antolini, Sean Tyas, W&W, Simon Patterson, Jordan Suckley, Roger Shah, Kidd Kaos and more!
It's safe to say 2012 has been D's break out year with the release of his first track alongside good friends The Viper and Evil Activities for the banger 'Highest Ace', and doing the vocals for The Viper and Nosferatu "Who We are" both which are featured on The Viper's album 'Nothing to Lose'. D has also cemented his place in the hardstyle and hardcore scene as the resident for Harder Styles United who were responsible for Knockout 2012 which featured Zatox, B-Front and Tha Playah, and for Powerhouse Events who are behind Bass Control, Prophecy and their flagship event Utopia. With an upcoming release with his good friend Alien T on his next EP and many more scriptures to be written in the lab, things are definitely looking upward and onward.
So what's on D's agenda for the future when he jumps up on the mic? By the looks of his plate at the moment a lot more. ".. When it comes down to it, it's all about the crowd, without them, DJ's, Emcee's, even those behind the scenes wouldn't be given the chance to do what we love..." It's this respect for the crowd and also the fact that he puts 100% when he begins to spit on the mic that will ensure his longevity within the scene.
Even he laughs to himself when he thinks about the past. "Never thought I'd have the opportunity to be able to emcee with the likes of Weaver, Suae, Pulsar, Moto, but the one thing I've realised easy come, easy go..." For the scrawny kid from Sydney, the journey has only just begun.
