P-Zo - The Phire Boi
The Phire Boi, P-Zo! A Lyricist with a unique vocal ability! His untrained singing sits between a lead singer and a backing vocalist. His rapping style naturally has a laid back stature (Grimey and Confident) Known in the News Weekly August '06 as a Rapper with a Twist from his run through achieving a top 40 position in Australian Idol, current followers have already accepted the brilliance in that look and the talent.
Writing all of his own music, wordplay is said to be his main focus as a singing lyricist. "To me, music is about how it sounds, so when I write, that's my focus, how to make it sound hot!"
Freestyling isn't the strongest point in this scenario, but there is a hunger to learn this aspect and master it, which adds another promising weapon to the future artillery. "No matter how good you may think you are, there is always someone who feels they are better! You can only show them otherwise." Being in the recording game only over 2 years, the 23 year old has made some incredible progress thus far without major help. To name a few highlights, ECKO Jewellery and Clothing accepted P-Zo to be sponsored for his first video clip, Ride or Dance, followed by the Partnership/Promotion of the #1 Urban Website in Australia, StadiumMusic.net Right down to being hand picked by beat extraordinaire Ron Browz (producer of 50 Cent and Jae Millz) to record with. P-Zo has earned respect throughout Perth, Australia and in some sense the World.
Currently maintaining his own movement known as Project Hype and a new style of music, P-Zo's system is to locate THE PLATINUM TRACKS through an EP release process while congruently writing music with other hand picked artists. "I have managed to gather the belief of the TOP people in the hip hop/R&B scene in Perth, and that is amazingly motivating!"
