ARTIST BIOS
Ever since he was a child, Pocho liked to dance, act and sing and believes that he inherited the music in his blood. In 1998 he started working with a group called Onda Expansiva and this was when the name Pochoman became his artistic name. Onda expansiva won an audition out of 500 other hip hop groups to perform at the International Hip Hop Festival of Cuba. Pochoman was offered the chance to sing in America, Brazil and Europe however due to his country's system of government he was unable to go. He has sung on radio and shared the stage with various other famous cuban artists such as Haila, Polo Montanez, Los Van Van, Carlos Manuel among others. He claims to be the only hip hop artist that has had the honour of singing in front of Fidel Castro.
D.Lenis (Colombia) "Born in Cali ("Salsa Capital" of Colombia) where the Massive Latin Musical Scene happens (starting in the early 70's )Bands-Festivals,Music Everywhere had a big impact in my musical growing.By early 90's electronic music shocked me and started collecting all sorts of styles i could get from Techno-House to Hip Hop-Breakbeat-Jungle wich ended up in me Djing in the most recognized underground club at the time. Later on my Musical taste evolve into a mix of many different genres that now can be defined as World Beat, a definition for the new directions in Urban Contemporary Music around the world which includes Funk, Soul, Afrobeat,Reggae, Latin and many other different styles.This particular blend of music and influences let me manage a radioshow "Radiofunk!" for two years. The aim was engaging audience into a sound trip around the world, a journey into musical global geography. Re-creating musical landscapes around the planet with the most recent genres. These Radio and clubbing experience also let me begin a Club with mates,almost at the same time of the Radioshow.When was time to take another step in the musical industry (not sure where) decided to travel ... Best thing ever !!!

Hezekiah (ex-London) Born in the holy land, Hezekiah made his way to Melbourne via
South Africa and Sydney in the early 80's. After many drunken nights spent
pissing off ra-ra crowds in the western NSW town of Bathurst for refusing
to play Cold Chisel and the Eagles, Hezekiah was headhunted by talent scouts
from Moby Disk. Here he earned his stripes by skilfully drooping obscure
hip-hop/electronic tracks in-between Nut bush City Limits and Love Shack
at important events such as weddings and bar-mitzvahs. Hezikiah plays an
vast array of dub, hip-hop and electronic Hebrew tracks from across the
world as well as multi-lingual tracks from the Middle East, France and
South East Asia.
