BIO:

Forging an evolution of the "mashup" album format, producer Amerigo Gazaway's "conceptual collaboration" projects imagine studio sessions between like artist of different genres and eras. With a process the LA Times' Randall Roberts described as "drawing a different design within a similar framework," the producer/DJ deconstructs and re-orchestrates samples from his respective subjects, bridging overlapping themes of the two musician's classic catalogues. Equally influenced by his Brazilian roots and southern U.S. upbringing, the 28 year old Nashville native's work was featured in Apple's "What Will Your Verse Be" series of iPad commercials, called "brilliant" by music’s premier aficionado, Questlove, and earned praise from national/global outlets such as The Guardian, Huffington Post, The LA Times, Vulture, NPR, BBC, MTV, BET, REVOLTtv, EBONY,VIBE, XXL, THE SOURCE, OKAYPLAYER, Wax Poetic, Gizmazo and HipHopXL to name a few. 
 
The son of renowned Jazz trumpeter, Gary “El Buho” Gazaway, Amerigo’s thematic documentary-like concept albums uses found interview sound-bites, live performances, and original multi-track stems to help narrate and craft his combined artists' stories. Finding his first success with 2011's Fela Kuti/De La Soul pairing "Fela Soul," the project went on to land on several year-end "best of" lists including NPR, Soul Train, and OKAYPLAYER. Following the release in 2012 with "Bizarre Tribe: A Quest to the Pharcyde", a concept that layered vocals of The Pharcyde over re-imagined productions sourced from the original Soul, Jazz, and Funk records ATCQ utilized to create their productions, Gazaway would later collaborate with The Pharcyde on their single "Still Got Love" and perform with the legendary group at SXSW.
 
Continuing the theme of his previous work in 2014, the producer united Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (FKA Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled "Yasiin Gaye" (side one and side two.) Building the album’s foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Amerigo re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions with the familiar fervor of the original work. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, Gazaway delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm “mashup” album. Drawing nearly 20,000 downloads in its first two days of release, the “Master Modern Soul Match Maker” (Juan Vidal- Vibe Magazine) earned a perfect “5 Star” review from BET, collaborated with New York Magazine cartoonist, Drew Dernavich, for the project's side two cover art, and landed on Billboard's Best Selling Singles Chart with the album's third single, "You Are Undeniable."
 
Honing his DJ skills through tours of Europe, Brazil, and the U.S., Gazaway’s dancefloor driving live set features classic breakbeats, original blends, remixes, edits, and mashups of multiple genres including Funk, Soul, Disco, Hip-Hop, Afrobeat, and everything in-between. With presentations and lectures logged at USC, MTSU and upcoming dates at Google HQ (NYC) and SXSW 2015, the DJ/Producer continues to highlight the possibilities of sample based art and shows no signs of slowing down.

Dancehall and Reggae music producer Notnice - With a signature style that infuses sharp-edged Hip Hop drum kicks with soulful piano rifts and Dancehall bravado, Ainsley Morris has carved a unique niche for himself among Jamaica's young Dancehall producers.
Starting out as a high school student with no musical training, the self-taught rhythm creator is a Billboard producer who was the backbone of one of Dancehall's most powerful forces.
Between 2009 and 2011, he became a household name as an integral part of Dancehall star Vybz Kartel's Portmore Empire, scoring a string of #1 singles for Kartel, including "Last Man Standing," "Cake Soap," "Mama," "Get Wild," and "Benz Punany." In addition, he produced break out hits for the Empire's then up and coming pool of deejays including Jah Vinci's " Watch Yuh Friends," Popcaan's "Gangster City," and "Dream," Shawn Storm's "My Life" which also hit #1 on the local charts, as well as Gaza Slim's "One Man." Joining forces with Corey Todd Records in 2011, he landed another local #1 single with Jah Vinci's "In My Life.
He won international acclaim with "Ramping Shop" a racy and wildly popular duet from Kartel and female Dancehall deejay Spice that became a staple on urban radio in Nort h America. In 2009, "Ramping Shop" peaked at #76 on t he Billboard Top 100. In 2011, Notnice was named 'Producer of the Year' by the Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards.
Ainsley Morris was raised in the Waterford section of Portmore, in St. Catherine. After convincing his mother to buy him a computer in hig h school, he began to experiment with music, eventually teaching himself to create rhythms. He began his professional career at Rokus Records, establishing Notnice Records after branching out on his own in the mid 2000s.
The Notnice Records discography contains a variety of pounding Dancehall 'riddims' compilations including: 
Takeover Riddim (2011), Club Hoppin (2011), S-Class (2011), Eternal (2011), Gangster City (2010), Duss (2010), Conception (2010), Street Vybz (2010), England Town (2009), Unknown Number (2009)
Boxing Day (2009), Birthday (2009), Remand (2008) and Gyal Farm (2008).
In March of 2011, Notnice left the Vybz Kartel's led Portmore Empire and later teamed up with former business partner of Kartel Cory Todd. That partnership was short lived and in January of 2012, decided to take his career on a solo path.
His solo path proved just as successful, having the emerging talents of Dancehall Artiste Alkaline under his tutelage. Together, majority of the Artiste’s early success was at the hand of the prolific producer with songs like “Things mi love in 2013 and Move Mountains in 2014.
Always one to work with a variety of talent Notnice continued to expand his catalogue to include
Dancehall Queen of Stage Spice ‘So Mi like it in 2013, tracks with Popcaan during a spectacular 2016 for the artiste with “Never Sober, “Ova Dweet” and “World Cup”.
Notnice followed that trend in 2017 with the release of the “El Chapo” riddim which included songs from Masicka, Jafrass and Popcaan. The Notnice Records imprint was also extended wih the signing of two Dancehall acts Jah Vinci, whom Notnice had known and had a working relationship with from the former Portmore Empire Crew and new comer Jafrass.
His prowess was also further solidified when he was named International Reggae and World Music Awards –IRAWMA- Producer of the year 2018. These days the producer, while continuing to release unforgettable music for the listening public he is now working on a Production like non other, an album, showcasing his various sounds set for release in August 2019.
