About: MC David J now resides in Atlanta Georgia but spent his formative years traveling all over the United States. Due to these travels David would be introduced to many different people, all of whom would have unique stories to tell. It was through these interactions that he found his profound love for music, namely Jazz, which would be the foundation in making MC David J into the artist he is today. At the tender age of 7 his passion was then intensified when he started to learn to play instruments such as the piano, guitar, trumpet and the drum machine making him a multi-talented musician. His first exposure to Hip Hop was when he watched his father break dancing to artists such as Melle Mel, Sugar Hill Gang and Run DMC. This would be the spark for David at only 10 years old to start writing his first rhymes. When he discovered artists such as Dr. Dre, The Roots, The Notorious B.I.G, Eazy-E and Slick Rick this would only add more fuel to the fire burning inside of him. Not only helping his lyrical ability but furthering his progression with producing all of his own music. From the age of 16 David would begin making his very own home studio after receiving his first drum machine from his grandfather, then adding recording software, electric keyboards and a microphone to the collection. All of these experiences are still ever-present in MC David J’s music as he has truly encapsulated the sound of old school Hip Hop. Almost as if you have just discovered unreleased music from that era. In 2015 David released two studio albums ‘The Chill’ and ‘No Chill’ after which he founded his own record label CoCalm Entertainment, who’s roster expands to more than purely Hip Hop. MC David J continues to make original and essential music and will carry on turning his experiences into true Hip Hop.
