Artist profile of Joker Starr (Flukebeat Music, Jones Brothers & Gawd Status). 

Joker Starr A cursory glance at Joker Starr’s C.V. and a simple fact is made obvious: there isn’t much the talented artist can’t turn his hand to. From performing in New York as part of Jonzi D’s Lyrical Feater, to producing a track on MC Ty’s Mercury nominated album, Joker Starr doesn’t limit himself and certainly isn’t held back by a lack of talent. Creativity, personality, energy and originality: these are terms the young MC bandies about with ease when discussing hip hop music. They are also the only predictable elements that brand a style so varied and eclectic there’s no telling which direction it will take next. Humorous social observations jostle with serious statements, witty-one liners counter-point shout outs and put-downs. There’s no aspect of life the rapper won’t break down into Joker Starr sized pieces before reassembling to create a picture of the world the way he sees it. 

 ‘UK Hip Hop’ is a subject on which the MC has a great deal to say, however, his music speaks volumes unaided. The distinctive British accent, the narratives set in UK locales, the quality production that permeates every track, the collaborations with Terri Walker and Estelle, the tightness and energy that he brings to stage performances. In short the vitality, authenticity and personality he feels UK Hip Hop is lacking at present Joker Starr supplies in abundance every opportunity he gets. ‘MCing is about expression,’ he states in no uncertain terms, ‘it needs to come from you.’ A potent mixture of talent, vision and dynamism, Joker Starr is ready to add a new facet to Hip Hop music, with a distinctly UK flavour.

Singer/songwriter. Born in Jamaica raised in hackney and settled in Birmingham. 

Ricardo Williams was always surrounded by musical influences during his childhood. “I started singing at age 7,” recalls Ricardo. “Since then, I wanted to expand my musical involvement, so I started singing in talent shows, school plays, church and around friends and family.” The next step for Ricardo was to create and share his own music, so at the age of 12, he began writing his own lyrics to various instrumentals.

Influenced by artists such as Boyz II Men, Donnie Hathaway, H-Town, Dru Hill, Jodeci, Tank and Dave Hollister Ricardo already had a set of strong models from which he was able to create his own blueprint. “I think a lot of people try to recreate the songs of the past. I try to recreate the feelings of what I loved about those songs. I try to make my own melodies that bring out those feelings in people. When I write I want you to feel whatever emotion I am going through. I want it to feel personal. I want you to feel like you are in my life.”

Hi people,

I last DJ'ed back in the late 80s and 90s during the iconic rave scene. quit mid 90s and began music production. Released a bunch of garage and drum & bass tracks but nothing really took off so in the end I moved onto other things. SL1200s sold, vinyl sold (yep all those 1st release rare hardcore and jungle tracks). Haven't touched a dj setup in 20 years. But thanks to my friend Josh for pointing me in the right direction I got myself a digital controller and well, this is the result, Mr Benn resurrected. I have fairly eclectic tastes but house and d&b are my main passions, from soulful vocals to seismic beats. Preferably on the deep underground side, but I'll sneak in a cheesy guilty pleasure once in a while. I'm absolutely loving all the toys that come with this digital era. I hope it's reflected in my mixes. Enjoy!

Mr Benn

Steve Anyiwo (aka Rapsody the 6ft3 or Rap6 for short), began his entertainment career as an MC from the London based hip-hop group Paragon. He and his partner Jiff had some success with the rap group, which was founded in the early 90's (originally called Xtra Large). The groups first appearance on record was the album 'Access Denied' recorded by the UK legends Son Of Noise in 1995. A number of releases followed culminating in Paragon's debut critically acclaimed album 'The Long Road' in 2004. With the accompanying national radio, TV & live performances, Rap6 became well respected in the hip-hop scene in the UK. 
In 2004 Rap6 became the host of the now internationally acclaimed hip-hop battle event The Jump Off, where he remained host for over a decade.
