CAV3
(pronounced “CAVE”)
CAV3 is a multi-instrumentalist producer currently residing in the City of Angels, California. First inspired by such artists as DJ Krush, Ken Ishii, Autechre, and The Fugees, CAV3 began composing around the age of 14, roughly 11 years ago, in his home town of Dallas, Texas. After moving to Berkeley, California in 2003 for college, he launched himself into the local scene with his debut instrumental album entitled "Sticks and Stones" (released under his former alias "Caveman"), and eventually linked with many other talented artists in the steady-bubbling San Francisco Bay Area music swamp. He has since grown into his own sound, an exotic and unforgettable blend of bedrock hip-hop, UFO space-juice, samurai slicing, roots rhythm, Ghost-funk, and primal blappistry. While CAV3 continues to blaze new musical trails, he finds it important to stay true to the original sounds that first inspired him, thus the undeniable thump, slap, crunch, and sparkle are the common denominators throughout all of his diverse body of work. 2008 saw the release of his self-produced lyrical debut album entitled “A.R.T. / Advanced Research & Technology,” which is still rippling throughout the ethosphere as an underground classic and a blazing vector of Spirit-fire. Earlier this year he released his second all-instrumental album entitled "Ghost Phunk," a potent dose of gourmet, Ghost-inspired funk delicacies. Since relocating to LA in 2008, CAV3 has continued to collaborate regularly with international hip-hop activist and mentor Shing02; the two are currently working together on Shing02's forthcoming all-English album. On other fronts, CAV3 is fine-tuning his second lyrical project entitled "Arkatype," exploring new sounds and local collaborations, and generally living life to the fullest.
