I am a rapper, songwriter, producer, designer and videographer based in London, UK. Inspired by classic hip hop/R&B/Indie Rock, anime, and cinema, I am currently building my own corner of the universe where creativity is king.

As a college student, I first fell in love with music production in 2005. Disappearing into the studio for days at a time, I had been working like a mad scientist trying to bring my musical vision to life. I’ve always been interesting in the core of how a hit song was made and what makes people tick.

I’ve spent two years in the United States, brushing shoulders with some incredible music industry hotshots , but always seemed to be a square peg in a round hole. Industry politics and money issues prevented me from having any major success, but still achieved a lot of things whilst being out there, especially landing an independent deal. Despite tough times sleeping on airport floors and the occasional prison stay, I continued to grow as an artist. 

Returning to the UK on my own terms, i  developing a strong interest for design and videography. Taking quickly took to photoshop and other applications to assist my work, My strong faith in music and all things creative always kept me driven, focused and hungry.

Now free to pursue my  passion, I am in charge of every part of my music, and have a strong mission to be placed in the hearts of hip hop/Media fans everywhere. 

‘ I’d say that Music is kind of like divine intervention, like a butterfly effect, unraveling the layers of our hearts and minds, showing us who we are and what we feel’

"The VeeVees are the most vibrant, creative new rock I have seen in a long time, loads of energy and great songs! These guys ROCK!" - Roy Hendrickson (Engineer/Producer - Paul McCartney, Cheap Trick, Empire Of The Sun, Mika) 

"Soulful, persistent, raw. Do pay attention to this excellent, creative duo!" - Mick Rossi (Pianist/Drummer/Composer - Paul Simon, Philip Glass) 

"Everyone should check out THE next big thing in rock music: The VeeVees are the real deal!!!" - Tone Def (Producer/Engineer - Green Day, Santana, Outkast) 


The VeeVees are Detroit bombshell Sophia Urista with the wails, roaming poet Garrett Cillo strumming strings and Italian powerhouse Andrea Belfiore on the skins.

There was a time when rock and roll wasn't just another musical genre, it was an attitude. A way to give voice to the voiceless in times of despair, passion, heartbreak, and rage. It was the limbo that guttural sex and violent drug abuse danced in through a reckless journey to a loud decay. It was a beautiful bomb. As Dylan would say, "the times they are a-changin'". And although it's not likely the world will ever see another Hendrix or Zeppelin, there are still those who believe in the dark glory days of rock.

Yearning for those dog-days is The VeeVees. This rock band from Brooklyn has little concern for anything other than creating raw, truthful, visceral music.

Frontman Garrett Cillo first met powerhouse drummer, Andrea Belfiore, at an underground masquerade on Halloween night in New York City's Chinatown, circa 2011. Cillo, being an avid songwriter, was immediately drawn to Andrea's incredible adaptability with any composition thrown his way. 

The duo hammered on, quickly garnering an exciting ten song set. From that set, the band pushed for their debut EP, hooking up with versatile Producer/Engineer Ben Rice of Degraw Studios. The VeeVees along with Mr. Rice arose from the studio with a strong debut aptly titled, "Tell Me It's Electric". The sound of the EP emulates a grooving, infectious and heavy nature, setting an exhilarated mood. It's one you can turn on late at night in the confines of your own bed to visualize and replay your own personal fantasies. This original soundtrack seems to be the mere kickoff to a long, prosperous journey among The VeeVees' rocking vessel. If "Tell Me It's Electric" is any indication of what's to come for these vicious Brooklynites, then hold on to your sanity and keep your arms and legs inside the coaster at all times. "Tell Me It's Electric" was released August 10, 2012. 

The EP was followed by the release of the duos first single DOG DAY REVEL. The songs music video was entirely written and directed by Garrett Cillo.

On April 11th 2013, after hearing the song BRUNETTE BABE from an iPhone video, producer Roy Hendrickson (which credits include Paul McCartney, James McCartney, Mary J Blige, POD, Cheap Trick) asked the band to record the song the following day. The VeeVees recorded Brunette Babe in legendary Studio A at AVATAR STUDIOS, NYC on April 12th 2013 in a 4 hours session. 
"Brunette Babe" was released October 25th 2013 followed by its music video premier directed by Cillo.

On July 13th 2013, the band made their first overseas trip to play at the AREZZO WAVE FESTIVAL, one of the biggest rock festivals in Italy. The VeeVees were one of the only two bands selected out of over 200 submissions (through Sonicbids) from Canada, United States, Brazil, Japan, France, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Hungry and others. 

The VeeVees released single"MAIN SQUEEZE", on December 23rd 2013 and single "GROOVIN' SWOON" on March 6th 2014. 

The Rock n' Roll trio...

Nearly two years after headlined over 100 shows across the US and internationally as a duo, Cillo and Belfiore asked their good friend and incredible vocalist Sophia Urista to have a simple jam together one day. It was so electrifying that not asking Sophia to join the band would have been a wasted opportunity, Cillo adds.

Her collaborations alone include legends such as Ashford and Simpson, and Quincy Jones.

Now that the three rockers have joined forces, they truly know no limits. The trio now resides in an infinite upward spiral of rock and roll creation preparing to wow every person they cross.

   Born James Walter Taylor, Jr. to proud parents, James and Sheila Taylor on January 18, 1988, JJ was destined for greatness. JJ’s father, James, had his first on-stage experience when he was only twelve years old. He shared the stage with country star, Tommy Cash, the brother of the late, Johnny Cash. Over the years JJ’s father played both solo, and with bands like, Hot Ice Unlimited. He played dozens of local cable shows; after joining the Navy, he played solo acoustic sets all over the globe! JJ’s mother comes from a talented family as well. She had relatives tracing back to the early 1900s in bluegrass bands and jazz bands. Although Sheila never played music professionally, she does sing incredibly well, and even played clarinet during her school years. With talented parents and relatives, it is safe to assume that JJ comes by his talent naturally.
   JJ Taylor has been playing music professionally since he was twelve years old. He has played with many bands off and on over the years including: Opposites Attract, un-Known Chaos, Captain Bartholomew and the Water Pistol Bandits, The Captain and the Kid, Infinite Sound Supply, and, currently, he is playing in the studio as well as touring with  Bourbon Highway. JJ fronts the band as lead vocalist and guitarist. During his time with Opposites Attract, the band took second place at Musicians Against Meth: Battle of the Bands, earned a blue ribbon at 4-H Share the Fun All County Talent Show, and JJ also set in as a studio musician on a Fred Taylor Furniture (no relation) commercial that was played at the world famous, Country Fever Music Festival in Pryor, OK. Just after his final show with un-Known Chaos, JJ had a guest spot on Okmulgee, Oklahoma’s country radio station KOKL where he performed his hit, “Phone Call Goodnight.” During his time with Infinite Sound Supply, JJ experienced such feats as opening for red-dirt greats: No Justice and Brandon Clark Band, as well as playing at world famous: Cain's Ballroom! Infinite Sound Supply placed second in a National Battle of the Bands held at Flytrap Music Hall in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma! JJ has also set in with other great musicians such as Rich McCready and Austin Allsup!
   JJ has been writing poetry and music since age 10. At 11 years of age JJ had his first poem published in the Teachers Anthology of Poetry. He runs a small recording studio and talent booking agency, and he shares his passion for music both with fans, as well as with fellow musicians in their quest to expand their musical and performing talents to a greater audience.
   JJ has come to find his true passion for music with his latest project, the amazing red dirt band known only as Bourbon Highway! Much of JJ’s inspiration comes from his uncle, Clay Taylor, who passed away due to an aneurism at only 43 years of age. JJ is quoted saying: “I was turned on to red-dirt music with the likes of Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jason Boland and the Stragglers, The Great Divide, and Badwater CDs being played at Uncle Clay’s house. He loaned Dad a cassette that had The Great Divide and Cross Canadian Ragweed songs on it. I listened to it over and over. When the opportunity came to put together a red-dirt band, I dove in head-first. I love Uncle Clay and I feel I am making him proud playing the music I am playing, and there’s not a doubt in my mind that I am making him proud.” JJ became a registered songwriter with BMI (Broadcast Music Inc.) in October 2012 after playing a solo show at Independent Music Fest in Nashville, TN.

Rarely the union of two different people can give birth to such a fortunate artistic collaboration. Antonio Maugeri, aka Larsen, dark-haired, left-handed, cheerful, extrovert, Luca Marano, blond, private and meticulous person.
Two very different personalities, but behind the deck their hands alternate as if they belong to a single DJ.
They are like brothers, they have been friends, artists, musicians and producers for nearly 10 years now, burning the dancefloor of Italian nightlife. A perfect union, born almost as a game in 2004, after a b2b improvised at the Taitù, cult and underground club of the Sicilian house scene in those years, during an AFC party, the historic Italian organization of events that thanks to their talent has made them the protagonists of amazing events with international djs like Fatboy Slim, Tony Humpries, Sven Vath, Lil Loius, Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia, Ricardo Villalobos, David Morales, Timo Maas, Ellen Allien and many more.
Twenty years of experience in the house scene and the Italian club culture emerges from their dj sets in the form of a mixture between modern and classic sounds, those related to the roots of techno and house old school.Resident djs of AFC, Larsen and Luca behind the turntables can do magic, not only being able to entertain the people but also overly surprising them! “In each one of our dj set we tell a story” – they say. Listen to them is like taking a long trip into the history of house music.
Their sound ranges from house to techno, from funky to deep. The search and selection are detailed and strict, and move in the underground. This make them special!
In their always improvised dj sets there’s everything: with timeless classics, current projects and unexpected out of program beyond the border of the "danceable", Larsen and Luca are able to pull out of their cases great Music for hours!
People say: "They are great! At the end of the night, when the lights turn off and the music stops, the crowd claim the fateful "last one" and never want to go away, hungry for their music!"
Their incredible success and extraordinary feeling has led them to create a partnership, a collaboration that has been going on for years and that gave rise to extraordinary djset in both Italian and European clubs: Weekend (Berlin), Zoo Project (Ibiza), Echoes (Riccione), Tenax (Florence), Magazzini Generali (Milan), Kudos (Mamaia-RO), Culture Box (Copenaghen), Flex (Wien), The End (London). In 2008 Bini &amp; Martini's Ocean Dark produce the first release "The Dark Side of the Rhum" and "Dirty Thingz" in 2009, much appreciated in the European scene.
Over the years the duo have received a lot of contributions and support from many djs of the electronic scene and not, just think about to the feedbacks that are released for their productions on Off Recordings, Tenax Recordings e Zoo:Technique and others. Their tracks are played for long time by Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Jamie Jones, Dj Sneak, Josh Wink, Karotte, Reboot and chosen also for radio mix like Pete Tong’s "Essential Selection" on BBC1.
But however attractive, no description of the duo can be turned into words as their dj sets are unexpected and magic ... Keep in touch!


► JCO, also known as BeatsByJ, is an American record producer, rapper, singer, songwriter, and engineer. At only 23-years-old, the Kansas City artist is hungry to dominate the game in every aspect. JCO has become known for his unique, unexpected style - formed through his own production, incredible work ethic, and lyrical ability as an emcee.

In 1986 in the hip hop documentary “Big Fun In A Big Town” Russell Simmons made his opinion on European hip hop known to the world by calling it garbage. In all honesty, we couldn't blame him for making that statement at that point in time; Europe was young and still learning the culture and formula for true hip hop. It was in that very same year that a child was born, who the world would soon come to know as P.Moody. 

Destined to, at some point get his first taste of the incredible music art form known to the world as hip hop.

P.Moody since then, has had many single and project releases like the hit song “Just Like
Me”, plus blessed countless mixtapes with his talents as a MC alongside some of the biggest
artists in hip hop. From 2007 until 2010 P.Moody has been touring/performing worldwide, building his brand and connecting with his fans all over the globe.

In 2011 Moody started to broaden his musical pallet by listening to electronic/dance music and dj's such as Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5, David Guetta and many others. Which resulted in several EDM releases, like "King & White feat. Cimo & P.Moody-­‐ Rock This Club (Radio edit)", "Feelding & Sir-­‐G feat. P.Moody -­‐ Denver 2 ibiza","R3hab & Zroq vs. P.Moody & LDM -­‐ Skydrop (We will be allright)","D-­‐Rashid feat. P.Moody -­‐ Bunda (Hivernage)", "Picco feat. P.Moody -­‐ Venga2k13" and "Robert Abigail & Brahim feat. P.Moody -­‐ Fly", “Tale & Dutch feat. Aziza & P.Moody – Ballerina”(currently top 10 in the Polish DJ Chart) just to name a few and the latest in collaboration with Italobrothers and Floorfilla called “One Heart”, which reached over 3 million youtube views until now and still counting.

Even though P.Moody has his sights set on becoming one of the biggest musicians in the
world, he will always be hip hop and that can be heard on his latest mixtape offering “World Wide”. This song is taken from his 2012 mixtape Revenge of the fallen. A piece of work on which Moody delivers a fantastic glimpse into his world, that takes the listener through a
whirlwind of emotion.

At the moment Moody is in the process of recording his first solo album “Get Familiar”. But
to keep the hungry fans, that are feening for that P.Moody pure and straight-­‐up rapmusic
fed, he delivers the incredible and free for download single “Bitches and Bottles”. 

Whether it’s hiphop or electro P.Moody has a great future in front of him and fans will agree that this is just the beginning of a great musical journey.
