Courtney Orlando is a Urban/Soul artist, songwriter and Grammy award-winning producer.

Illphonics has been recording and performing around the St. Louis area since 2006.  Morphing out of a recording project originally called Fallout and Friends, Illphonics has gained respect and admiration throughout the St. Louis music scene due to their dynamic live show, progressive recordings, and group etiquette.  Their debut album, “Illphonics Presents Sound”, placed #36 on Vintage Vinyl’s (well-known STL record store) Top Selling CDs of 2009, making it the highest-grossing CD by an unsigned band that year.

1SK Multimedia presents Ooh Klayfaze, an artist/producer/ghostwriter from St. Louis, Mo via Inglewood, Ca. 

Lyrically Klayfaze could be described as a conversationalist. His content can be raw, witty and clever, or introspective just depending on how he feels at the time. But whether he's telling a story or doing lyrical gymnastics over a track, it feels and sounds as if he's talking directly to you rather than rapping. When asked how he describes his style, he said "I do what the beat say do and bring it from the heart" It's this approach that makes his style unique and relatable. Some of his influences are (Gil Scott-Heron, Rakim, Tupac, Ice Cube, Scarface, NAS, Black Thought, U.G.K., Red Man, Talib Kweli, Tribe Called Quest, D.O.C., Dub V, S.C.C, Mc Eiht, Too Short, Ghost Face Killa, Rakwon, Eminem, Devin the Dude, Z-ro, Cujo The Malicai, MJG & EightBall)

In (2004) he released his first project, Time Creepin' Future Passing (available on CdBaby.com & amazon.com). He later released a series of mixtapes, Klayfaze On Vacation (2007) available on amazon.com, 1SK FAMILIA- Loud Pac Vol.1 & 2 (2010 & 2011) available on DatPiff.com, followed by Durban Poizen released in (2012) available on Itunes .

In (2010) Klayfaze founded 1SK FAMILIA; an explosive group representing St. Louis, Mo. including himself, and two other emcees; 1oo and Sirtax. Together, their different styles blend together like fire jambalaya; serving a delicious dish of midwest rap tunes

Ooh Klayfaze is currently working on his upcoming cd "life is luv war is life" . He continues to release a free digital download on Reverbnation every two weeks.
