Young Iz The Geek is an underground hip-hop sensation from Geeksville,USA. The Geek kind of put you in the mind of: Nas,Nappy Roots,Outkast,Kanye West, and Dilated Peoples.Band/artist history
Young Iz's passion for music started back in the late 80's . After witnessing artists like KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, and Biz Markie strike stardom, Iz knew deep in his heart he wanted to Emcee for a living. Every Saturday night he made it his duty to watch Yo MTV Raps. He emulated the styles of all the popular artist of that time, until he eventually developed a style of his own. His first recording was in 1993 in a small home based studio called D-Squad owned and engineered by David Andre Mott. After working with D-Squad for several years, David, lead Iz to what would be his first ever record contract with F.L.A Records owned by Holly Rob and Dr. Ray. The year was '96 when Iz signed with F.L.A Records. '96 was also the year the label had a hit record that appeared on the movie Booty Call's soundtrack " Let me see you Squirrel" by Squirrel. After two years with no progress ,Iz left the label to pursue other goals. Even though the deal went sour it allowed for development of music writing skills, production, and all around studio knowledge.Have you performed in front of an audience?IN The REGion of GeeksVille,USA
