SkitzofreniK
A North East based UK Hip Hop artist.
I've been at this for around about 4 years now in terms of writing and about 3 in terms of recording.
I like to think of myself as a perfect mix of a psycho from a horror film, that geezer from a beautiful mind and a cocktail of drugs and alcohol...that pretty much sums up the musical stylings of me.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
pretty much said it all already...
- writing for 4 years
- recording for 3
- performed live once
- not signed to a label
- working on a CD with Tweedy
- working on a solo CD
- bla bla bla
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
not as much as I would have liked. I actually only ever did one show which was the hip hopera at the sage with the other member of XPLOSIVMINDZ (X-Mindz) Tweedy. The rest has been random shitty spits whilst walkin home from a night out in Sunderland.
The aim is definately to start doing more live stuff right after me and Tweed sort out X-Mindz CD.
Your musical influences
Could go on forever with this list....
DMX, 50 cent (pre-shootings, everything after was shite), Eminem (old stuff), ludacris, nas, Aesop Rock, Immortal technique, eyedea, jedi mind tricks, the streets, kano, skinnyman, klashnekoff, N-Dubz (just coz their english though, I swear).
I also like rock music and dance/trance/whatever the fuck else its called..
more influences are:
Greenday, sum41, Linkin Park are a major influence on my music, papa roach, marilyn manson, turbonegro, killswitch engage, hard-fi, arctic monkeys, gallows
dance is here mainly because its what the kids in my area grew up listenin to...

What equipment do you use?
a microphone, headphones...if you want codenames for them like an XJ-20-K-4000 condenser microphone then you care way too much! its just a fucking mic!
Anything else?
Leave me comments, collab requests, threats, sexual offers, donate money, send me naughty photos of yourself....anything you want but don't be shy, let me know what you think of the Northern stylings of me...cheers peeps!
