Paladio
“We don’t make tracks; we make music.”-Paladio W. Blaze
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This is the sentiment of likely the most diverse and flexible budding hip-hop super producer/recording artist since the arrival of Timbaland. Though he sites Mr. Mosley as a role model and major influence, Paladio Blaze’s style can not be easily be compared to another’s; neither is it easy to put a genre/style specific label on such a uniquely ambiguous sound.
From debut performances of string orchestra compositions [Intercollegiate Music Association (2005)] to whimsical regional hits “What’s Poppin’ Bo’” and “Thundercat” via CKF (also know as the Carolina Kinfolk), he flexes a creative muscle that most other producers could not achieve if the used steroids religiously.
As a classically trained musician who has played cello, upright and electric bass in orchestral and jazz groups, he has a strong feeling of melody and rhythm that are married together in his compositions and instrumentals.
Diamend Werks Productions, of which he is the “Chief Diamend Cutter” and founder, symbolizes his dedication to creating music that is anything but lack-luster and insuring that he provides the most precious “gems” to other recording artist as well as himself.
You can believe that production art and lyrics all down in one will burn long az eternity
