STVDB, bürgerlicher Name Stefan van de Bovenkamp, wurde 1981 in LA USA geboren. Nach der Trennung seiner Eltern kam Er im Alter von 4 Jahren nach Österreich. In Wien angekommen lernte Er auch sofort in seiner Volksschule ein paar der späteren Crewmitglieder rund um FFC (FLISH FLASH) kennen. Aber zuerst experimentierte man im Alter von 13 - 14 Jahren mit Harten Riffs gemischt mit anderen Einflüßen wie z.B. Jazz oder Blues. HEPATITHIS B war geboren, bestehend aus Daniel und Fabian Schreiber ( Twin Towers / Super City Soundsystem ), Daniel Zipin ( Dj Mezuian / Family Bizz ) und Dieter Mayer ( LaDida ). Nach einigen Auftritten der 14 jährigen mit ihrer Cross-Over Band verläuft sich die ganze Geschichte wieder und man verliert ein bischen den Kontakt zueinander.

STVDB ist zu dieser Zeit schon durch seinen um 6 Jahre älteren Bruder auf die ersten Hip Hoptracks gestoßen ( Ice T, Snoop Doggy Dog...) und entscheidet mit dem Freestylen und Texte schreiben zu beginnen. Ein Schulwechsel 1995 führt zum ersten Kontakt mit Mitgliedern der damals schon bestehenden HERBE MISCHUNG. Nach dem man die gemeinsamen Interessen bemerkt entschliesst GNH (Geronimo Hirschal) Ihn auf eine Bandprobe mitzunehmen und sofort wurde er ein Teil der Crew. 

Zeitgleich begannen die TWIN TOWERs mit ihrem ersten geschenktem Sampler Beats zu produzieren. Immer wieder wird auch MEZUIAN eingeladen, um Beats zu produzieren. STVDB und LADIDA beschliessen über die Beats Texte zu schreiben und aufzunehmen. Diese Tracks kursierten im Internet und ereichten dort Kultstatus. FLISH FLASH erfreute sich nach kürzester Zeit einer treuen Fangemeinde. Als dann noch MC JACK oder JACKY dazukam war die Gruppe komplett. Hauptsächlich wurden damals Promo Cd´s in Umlauf gebracht, die bis heute als Rarität gehandelt werden. 

HERBE MISCHUNG und FLISH FLASH traten natürlich durch das gemeinsame Crewmitglied STVDB immer wieder zusammen auf. Es ist also nicht verwunderlich das die Crews sehr simultan ihre ersten Releases hatten (Subotage Rec - Fried Kutz, Boombap 4) leider trennten sich Flish Flash 2002 und jedes Mitglied der Crew ging wieder seinen eigenen Weg. Mit HERBE MSICHUNG releaste STVDB nachher noch die Debut EP "AUCH EURE STADT WIRD BRENNEN" (2002) auf High Hat Records und kurz darauf die LP "EINGEMISCHT & AUFGEMISCHT" (2003) auf dem hauseigenm Label Pentagon Records!

Seitdem hat STVDB auf allen Bühnen Wiens und auch Österreichweit gespielt und auch schon einige auslands Auftritte wie z.B Sofia, Bruno, Prag, usw.. absolviert. Mittlerweile kann Er auf eine stolze 10 - 14 jährige Bühnenefahrung, Mit Live-Auftritten, Moderationen und sogar am Theater (RAP ATTACK) zurückblicken und das merkt man wenn STVDB die Stage betritt. Zur Zeit arbeitet Er an seinem Solo mit dem Titel "Einfach Machen".

Damian Robert Nesta Marley, also known around the world as “Junior Gong” and more recently as “Gongzilla” was born in 1978 to parents Bob Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976.  As a young adult, he developed a passion and a gift to speak for those who cannot always speak for themselves. A self-proclaimed ‘Spiritual Revolutionary’, Damian has worked assiduously to carve his own niche in music history and to add a new perspective to the Marley legacy for the 21st century. 

At the age of 13, Damian began performing in a group called “The Shepherds” which comprised of Shiah Coore (son of Third World guitarist Cat Coore) and currently a member of his band, and Yashema Beth McGreggor, daughter of reggae singers Freddie Mcgreggor and Judy Mowatt and then began touring with his brothers, Stephen, Ky-mani, Julian and Ziggy. 

By 1996, Damian had already made his stamp as a different kind of Marley when he released his first solo album “Mr. Marley”, a heavily dancehall-influenced album produced by his brother Stephen Marley.  His second album “Halfway Tree” was released in 2001 by a major record label and showcased Damian’s unique gift for blending dancehall, reggae and hip-hop styles.  This album won Damian much recognition and remained on the Billboard Top Reggae Album Charts for 158 weeks and earned him his first Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2002. 
While honored by this recognition by the global music fraternity, Damian continued to work in the studio, laying the groundwork for the tracks that would become his highly anticipated album, “Welcome To Jamrock”. The lyrics in this album presented Marley as a true spiritual revolutionary, as he used his talent to evoke a spiritual change while trying to enforce a better way of thinking.  He is described as “rhyming with the conviction of a street preacher with the intellect of a university economist”.  

Damian’s hit single “Welcome to Jamrock” was listed as one of the Top 100 Songs of the Decade by Rolling Stone, and at the 2006 Grammy Awards, he won Best Reggae Album and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for Welcome to Jamrock. Damian is the only Jamaican reggae artist in history to win two Grammy Awards on the same night. He is also the only reggae artist to win in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category at the Grammy Awards. The New York Times called Welcome to Jamrock the “best reggae song of the decade.” 
Welcome to Jamrock led the pathway to Damian’s critically acclaimed collaboration with Nas for 2010’s much lauded album “Distant Relatives” – a project which explored the relationships between reggae, hip-hop and Africa. The album title refers not only to the bond between the artists, but the connection to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically. USA Today referred to the album as a “potent and often provocative collaboration” and by Rolling Stone as “an Afrocentric winner.” The album debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and Number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Rap Albums and Reggae Albums charts, with Billboard heralding the album as “a dynamic hybrid.”    

The Distant Relatives Tour kicked off in 2011 and saw Damian traveling and performing for thousands of fans all over the world, including South America, Europe, The United Kingdom, The Caribbean and North America.  

Damian continued to cross musical boundaries in 2012, as he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem”, which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall” and has led to several remixes of the original version.  Damian recently released two other singles; “Set Up Shop” and  “Affairs of the Heart” which both received widespread airplay. 

Damian continues to tour with his band all over the world as a way of entertaining and healing as he continues to spread the message for those whose voices cannot be heard. He is working with his brothers Stephen and Julian under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and sign gifted artistes by applying their musical talent and vast experience to create new and different styles of music.  

Damian is currently in the studio working on his upcoming solo album.
