MaNiT'zTeRRoR

Born Derriel O'brien Calhoun from Spring Lake, North Carolina; I started writing and playing instruments when I was about 11 years old.  I started recording a year later with several childhood friends when we decided to start a group.  In the summer of 2007, myself and godbrother Brandon "Rocketman" Willis came up with a melding of what we thought to be a sound ahead of it's time, combing relevant substance with lyricism, coupled with unique instrumentation over dope beats.  ...

Born Derriel O'brien Calhoun from Spring Lake, North Carolina; I started writing and playing instruments when I was about 11 years old.  I started recording a year later with several childhood friends when we decided to start a group.  In the summer of 2007, myself and godbrother Brandon "Rocketman" Willis came up with a melding of what we thought to be a sound ahead of it's time, combing relevant substance with lyricism, coupled with unique instrumentation over dope beats.  We called ourselves OuterSpace Federati-n or O.S.F. going on the play various venues along the east coast.  Federati-n Muzik came years later to expand upon the foundation of what is O.S.F. and to unite childhood friends as respective solo artists under one banner.  I also host an internet radio show on Bronco-iRadio.com called iFLOW, dedicated to independent artists and aspiring entertainers.  "MaNiT'zTeRRoR" derives from my original alias "Man-Terror" given to me by my older brother, who also does music and influenced me to begin and pursue a career in music.  My very first solo project "Deleted Scenes: Armada Waiting" is free for download on www.datpiff.com.  The "Deleted Scenes" project gives listeners a real sense of who I am as a person and artist, as it contains a variety of personal life events coupled with an avant garde musical perspective.  I am currently working on my second LP entitled "Planet-Terror".  This album focuses on a metaphorical duality between the world ending by cosmic catastrophe in search of a new planet to inhabit, and an end of conventional music in search of something new.  All the music plays off a continuous theme and concept of OuterSpace Federation and Federati-n Muzik.  I hope to share the gift of music and entertainment on a global level; I thank you all in advance for your love of music and support of the craft.
