styles ranging from praise and worship to jazz.
Rock music
He started his interest for hip hop at the age of ten. But
thinking that the skills of a MC were out of reach for him
he started studying 60's-70's rock and folk music of which
his favourite bands were The Doors, The Who, The Jimi
Hendrix Experience and Led Zeppelin. He learned to play the
electric guitar as well as getting accustomed to all the
vintage equipment involved.
Interest
His new found interest for hip hop started in the summer of
1997 when he bought an album titled "Experience" from a new
crew called the Tunnel Rats.
Albums
Soon after, he entered Judson College and began writing
rhymes and started MCing. It is then that he adapted the
name Gilead7, an alias he used while serving as a DJ for the
campus radio station WJUD. In 1999, he recorded his first
EP, entitled "Explosions". After two independant releases
Gilead7 was already added to the ReServed Records roster in
August of 2003.
Distribution
The MC secured a distribution deal in Japan
through Ultra Vybe in March 2006. For the United States his
music will be distributed by Independent Distribution
Collective.
New project
After the EP "Death Penalty Shots" (2007) Gilead7 focuses on
his next project "2 track wonders". From this record comes
the upcoming vinyl single "Movers and Shakas" (2008).
