XYZ Biography:

Having seen his MC career flourish post 2002, MC XYZ
has not stopped slowing down his efforts to bring
quality MCn' to the microphone over drum n bass as
well as prosper in various drum n bass business
ventures. His love for music goes back to his youth
where he inherited hundreds and hundreds of old soul,
jazz,, funk, rock and more vinyl from his grandfather
(who himself has a master of ceremonies back in the
1940s and 1950s) and father.

Born into the realm of music MC XYZ was destined to do
something with the art form. Being classically trained
in piano for over 10 years, having a B.S. in Music
from The University of Southern California and working
presently for Universal Music Publishing Group as the
Manager of Music Licensing, MC XYZ's influence in drum
n bass touches all angles of the music. He has been
privileged enough to be booked to play with a who's
who of drum n bass DJs from around the world on many
occasions from the likes of Dillinja, Bailey,
L-Double, Dom & Roland, Tech Itch, Black Sun Empire,
Mampi Swift, Lemon D, Dieselboy, Empress, JJ Frost,
Wickaman, J.Majik, Pendulum, Concord Dawn, DJ Swamp,

and the list goes on and on. His talents have taken
him from coast to coast in terms of performing from
Miami to San Francisco to Hawaii to New York to
Indiana to Texas to Portland to Hawaii and so much
more. A true fan favorite some of his signature flows
always seem to get the crowd hype as well as his
personality which is one of supreme confidence,
humbleness and also the willingness to accept and
converse with fans and people alike.

His style transcends one or even two certain styles of
drum n bass MCn' as he can easily switch from a hip
hop flow, to a double time rhyme, to singing, to
harmonizing, to knowing when to let the mix ride and
just being silent. Just proof of his range of multiple
styles can be also seen in his discography of
accomplished drum n bass DJs he has been booked to
perform with. Believing that each DJ, set and tune is
in of itself something unique, XYZ, like an instrument
in an orchestra, always tries to be one with the song
and DJ that he is performing with. MC XYZ has been
interviewed/appeared in numerous publications from URB
Magazine to DIG Magazine and has been featured in the
prestigious "On The Mic" section of Rinse Magazine in
2005 and numerous internet e-zines. XYZ has over 20

decks spinning.

Angeles and the "stateside" ( USA ) scene, MC XYZ has

Sessions Series where he takes two forefront USA DJs
and puts them on one CD for people to stream and/or
