Bionik Brown
Bionik Brown is the ultimate DIY artist. Not many others have been able to tour nationally and internationally and move thousands of cd’s without major label push. Bionik is the artist, the CEO and the street team (all in one incredibly handsome, talented…and humble package).
Bionik’s just back off the road from a European tour where he opened for legendary hip hop pioneers the Beastie Boys. He also toured Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and throughout the States in 2006/2007. Those travels are just the tip of the iceberg; there’s much more to come for this Road Warrior.
After surviving Hurricane Katrina he’s still reppin’ New Orleans in a major way. Bionik’s unique lyrical abilities and charisma translate perfectly to any venue and audience. Some say the show is a mixture of music and comedy. Even when the music pauses the jokes are still flowing!
Bionik’s show is profanity-free and refreshingly devoid of misogynistic, negative themes. The positive approach is not a gimmick however. It doesn’t take away from the impact or edge of the music but enhances it. This English writing major knows words and wields them well.
Bionik Brown’s music has been compared to many of the musical greats he’s worked with including Common, The Roots, SOULIVE and Talib Kweli just to name a few. About his development, Bionik says, “I am influenced by life and good music regardless of genre. My City, and the South as a whole, have an amazing musical legacy and I feel privileged to be carrying the torch.”
Now residing in Denver, Colorado (as a result of the Hurricane), Bionik is keeping the spirit of New Orleans music alive and well. He’s a consistent critical darling and his presence on the landscape of contemporary music will undoubtedly be felt sooner rather than later.
If you are ready for real live genre-defying music devoid of filler…look no further than the People’s favorite underground lyrical Champ, BIONIK BROWN.
