Hometown: Willingboro, NJ Genres: Hip Hop / Verbal Kinetics / Spoken Word Label: Hardy Grimes Entertainment Members: chrisCrisis Peace and respect to all those peaceable and respectable. I am chrisCrisis. My earliest musical influences were my Dad playing funk and jazz in his office and bike riding through Twin Hills listening to Boogie Down Productions with Giscard Xavier. My favorite artist growing up was KRSONE. Other artists who have had an effect on me are Talib Qweli, Nas, and Black Thought of the Roots. Their style and colorful words have had a direct influence on my musical sound today. I first started living hip hop/songwriting etc. when I was about 8 years old. Pounding on the desk for a beat or GIZ was always there with the beat box. I have been involved with many musical productions over the years such as DJing parties during my Howard University days, opening for the Roots at Howard homecoming as a member of the Drop Wylahs w/ Romeo & Rime Child , and performing with KRSONE at Wiggins Park on the Camden Waterfront. I have performed at family reunions for friends, and headlined at the 4th of July festival in my home town of Willingboro, New Jersey. Today I am currently working with singer /songwriter Ron "Syncere" Harris. We perform together on a regular basis and recently completed an art gallery tour of minority owned galleries in Philadelphia. We are now working with legendary band SideBySol , performing at weekly venues and upcoming outdoor festivals. As of late I have been honing my skills remaining a mainstay on the Delaware Valley open mic and live show scene. I am also a part of Hardy Grimes the supergroup. Within Hardy Grimes I am a lead vocalist for the group Van Skyver . I currently have a mixtape I released online in April called the “Crisis Intervention Project”.
