I am in love with music, have been my whole life. And I feel it's impact more and more, every step I take counts out the rhythm of my life... Everything else is irrelevant, just know that my team is strong, don't ever forget it.

Talented song writer, has a sound of his own very lyrical and has a knack for catchey hooks..

PERFORMANCE BIO -Skate attire and blond locks flowing from beneath his hat, an unexpected look takes the stage with no introduction. Curious crowds assemble to see and hear if the "head nodding hype" is true. With an apparent confidence he begins pounding out a riveting live beat production on his MP2000XL. His fingers and hands moving fiercely, completing the most rugged baseline and eerie, urgent samples, he definitely has your attention now. His skillful mastery of the machine is smooth and seemingly effortless. Bouncing to his own beat production before you, he snatches the microphone from its impending stand, and in true artistic hip hop form, begins rhyming over the aforementioned head nodding beat. An extremely enthusiastic delivery with a rapid lyrical flow soon ensues. He's almost cocky but way too likeable, todays' kids would call it swagger. From the Twista-remininscent "impcredible" fast raps, to analogy filled cyborg references, to the grit and honesty in "Game of Life" he seems to leave no stone unturned in his lyrical prowess. Add just the right amount of quirky banter to leave you smiling, Imperfekt's live stage show is becoming something audiences are talking about for weeks after the show.
