E.G. was born in Harlem, New York just 22 years prior to the now tragically memorable day of the World Trade Center disaster. Although September 11th 2001 marks a day of great loss, September 11th 1979 was a great day for the future of hip-hop.
Why this name?
E.G. are the initials to my government name.
Do you play live?
I perform mostly in NC's triangle area as well as a few spots downtown Manhattan, NY. I love live shows! I love the crowds energy.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It changes it several ways. It brings it to a different audience and it also allows people to get exclusive records from unsigned artists like myself. But with all of the internets positives there are also negatives like theft!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but I am currently trying to solidify my own company's future as a record label/ production company. That company is Big Player Ent.
Band History:
Well Big Player Ent. right now consists of two artists. One is myself and two is my producer Chi.
Between the two of us we have done a few things. I have been on an album by Jay Black, performed at the local 506(Chapel Hill, NC), Performed on the Larry Pickett Show(LP17), and done numeours other perfomances in NYC.
Chi, as a producer has worked with many local artist in NYC and Durham NC. He did The tribute to BIG PUN record by Cuban Link, called Flowers For The Dead, for Atlantic records and a few other projects here and there.
