"A living tribute to true hip-hop and the original art of 1 DJ/1 EMCEE."Band/artist history
Butterfly Toungz have been critically acclaimed by The Indianapolis Star, NUVO Entertainment Weekly, Distortion Music Magazine and Shotgun Reviews for their third album, Wide. Open. Spaces. Butterfly Toungz have turned heads at various stage shows by beat boxing over break beats and combining elements of classic rock, jazz, funk, soul and old-school hip-hop into their music.
Butterfly Toungz were recently awarded as “Sixth Place Finalist” out of over 140,000 other artists for “Best Experimental Song” at the JPF Music Awards in Los Angeles, CA. In addition to their recent achievement, Butterfly Toungz’ new single “Life Goes By” is currently being featured on the Indy MP3 Project CD which has had over 18,000 copies distributed throughout the Midwest. “Life Goes By” has also been featured on Channel 26 in Cleveland, Ohio as part of its Proartist TV showcase each Tuesday Night.
Butterfly Toungz formed in Indianapolis, IN after DJ Germ was in attendance at Sub-One’s solo performance. The upcoming DJ and gifted graffiti artist from Indiana University’s Herron School of Art hit it off with MC/Producer Sub-One, and formed their current duoButterfly Toungz. DJ Germ has been featured in the Indianapolis Star and News promoting his “artist” lifestyle. Sub-One received his undergraduate degree from Indiana University with an emphasis in English and Music Studies. He is a graduate from the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences where he earned his Masters of Audio Recording and Engineering in Tempe, Arizona. He is certified in ProTools 135 and completed an internship at DARP Studios in Atlanta, GA.
During their years in college, the group has worked on several independent projects for students and businesses around the Midwest. Last year, Butterfly Toungz’ music appeared in a BMX Documentary DVD entitled “Destination: Air,” which premiered before the start of the 2004 Gravity Games.Have you performed in front of an audience?Hell no, because we can't get a dam gig! However when the sweet opportunity comes around we usually get down at the Emerson Theater (INDY). One of our best show though had to be at Tailgator's @ the MMS 2003(INDY) and when we played the Halloween Jam last year.

Butterfly Toungz just received a second nomination for “Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album!” for 2007 from Independent Music Awards (IMA)!!!!!.
With this recent IMA nomination, Butterfly Toungz are now competing in the same category as such seasoned music vets as Speech (from Arrested Development).
The Butterfly Toungz’ nominated album, “Adversity” received its first “Best Rap Album” nomination earlier this year from Just Plain Folks (A Non-Profit Music Organization) and has really generated quite a buzz within the music industry. Recently, when compared to the Butterfly Toungz’ last album (Wide. Open. Spaces.), Adversity was said to be easily their best work yet.
