Hi! I'm Blue MC, a vocalist and song writer originally

hailing from Brisbane, in the land of Oz. In my eight

year stint as a professional singer and emcee I have

fronted four different live outfits (Chi-Qi, Brisbane

2000-02; Bionik World, Melbourne 2003-04; Streetbox,

London 2005-06; The Potbelleez, Sydney summers 2005/06/07

to present) and featured for countless producers and

djs on three continents .

Fuzing sweet song vocals with percussive rhymes my style

is quite diverse and I have written lyrics and vocal

melodies for many different genres of modern music,

from hip hop to house, dub, breakbeat, electro and pop,

depending on the requirement of the time. As a result,

some of my collaborative tunes feature my performance

as a singer, some as a rapper, and some as both. Outside

of the recording realm, however, I have earned my stripes

as an emcee the only way one can: by rockin the clubs.

I have supported myself for the last eight years by

appearing consistantly in clubs around Australia, week

in week out, rockin it over any beat you can dance to,

with any dj who'll pass me the mic. Such peers include

dj Mr King, Funktrust (djs Will Styles & Learned Hand),

dj G-San, Agent 86, dj Ransom, Kano & Ennio Styles,

dj Ravi, dj 2D, dj Hound, Brewster B, Keltec, Jono Fernandez,

dj Lazy Boy, dj T-Rek, Luke McDee, dj Mur@t, Emerson

Todd, and of course The Potbelleez (djs Dave Goode &

Jonny Sonic) .

I spent two and a half years based in London (2004-07)

where my main focus was performing with MC Xander as

half of the a'capella beat-box duo Streetbox (see myspace/streetboxmcs),

and while I was there I featured two tracks on the latest

album for the infamous Hexstatic (see myspace/hexstatic)

of UK label Ninja Tunes. Most recently, however, I've

been back in Oz consumed by the Potbellee enigma alongside

Ilan Kidron (aka I-Kid) and Irish dj duo Dave & Jonny

(mentioned above). It all started early '07 with the

group's first original release "Junkyard" featuring

vocals by Moi, and was soon followed by "Don't Hold

Back" featuring vocals by Ilan which basically blew

the roof off the dance music scene in Australia, and

The Potbelleez - now a four piece "band" - have been

insanely busy ever since! (see myspace/thepotbelleez)



With constant touring in Oz and a recent tour of Germany

to promote our first release there, things are headed

skyward for our fledgeling electro-dance-band. Stay

tuned for more singles and The Potbelleez debut album

due for release around September 2008 .

Thanx for checking out my space :)
