Production-wise, SunBiz shines with outer-space sounds that swirl around steady, confident beats. And he's no slouch MC-wise, either.
Take a bit of funk inspiration, mix it in with some soulful Rhodes licks and deep bass-lines, add a pinch of turntablism and finally, mash it up with some synth madness. What?s the result ? The recipe for SunBiz Productions, of course. SunBiz hails from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His love of hiphop and soul began in the early nineties with artists & groups such as Black Moon, A Tribe Called Quest, Hieroglyphics, Main Source, Diamond D, Public Enemy; the list goes on and on?
It was through these influences that jump-started SunBiz?s interest in music production. As an indie producer/artist himself, the struggle to get original music out to the masses is a challenge that SunBiz approaches with confidence and perseverance. Through an online presence with sites such as CNET?s download.com, and sunbizonline.com ; SunBiz has reached tens of thousands of listeners over the past year(s). In addition, his music has been featured in several indie movie soundtracks ( ?Bad City? Vacant Lot Productions ) and T.V. documentaries ( ?A long night out? Projections Films - airing on CBC ).
SunBiz is an active force in the Vanouver music community. Interested in collaboration as a method of community building he has numerous ongoing collaborations with artists such as Tameem B. from Threat From Outer Space, No Luck Club, Stylust, ShayOne, Panakronic, Mikro Tunes, ExtraMedium Sound. In addition SunBiz productions music holds down regular spins on several local indie and college radio stations such as, 102.7 FM CFRO Radio - ?No Apologies Necessary ?, 101.9 FM CITR Radio ?Rhymes and Reason?, and 90.1 FM CJSF Radio ?Straight No Chaser show? (hosted by the No Luck Club). Dedication and persistence to his craft are the hallmarks of SunBiz?s work ethic, but this is just the beginning...so don?t sleep! The ultimate goal is to reach the millions of people who share the same love for hiphop music and beyond on a global scale!
