DJ Exodus
Hailing from the Big Island of Hawaii, Kai Saint John aka DJ eXodus began his rise to DJ stardom at the age of 15 when he received his first pair of turntables as a birthday gift from his mother. Turning his bedroom into his own personal studio, DJ eXodus began to hone his craft to perfection. By his senior year of high school, eXodus was not only djing school functions but gaining notoriety as a weekly headliner at various 18 and over venues around town.
Although house music is his foray, eXodus’ talent is not limited to one genre. Having a knack for feeling out what the crowd wants, eXodus takes his listeners on a musical voyage by mixing hits from rock, pop, hip hop and 80’s leaving them wanting more even after the lights come on. In 2000, the Big Island wasn’t enough to contain eXodus’ talent, so he set his sights on another “big island”, Las Vegas. Since his arrival in Sin City, he has held weekly residencies at some of the strip’s top clubs. But even with his success on the Vegas strip, eXodus’ ambition and hard worked garnered him the opportunity to showcase his talents at other venues across the U.S.
The party is always hype and the place to be if eXodus is on the turntables. Dj eXodus feels out the crowd and gives them exactly what they want, mixing hip hop with rock & 80’s with hits from (Jay-Z, AC/DC, Prince, 50 Cent & Jimi Hendrix) the crowd will have a good time and leave wanting more.
Benny Black
Benny Black is a multi-dimensional artist with a serious focus on the creative and business oriented aspects of today's music industry. Not only is he an emcee, a producer, and an accomplished DJ, he is also the C.E.O. and co-owner of an indie label, Conspiracy Theory Entertainment Group (CTEG). In his role as the C.E.O. of a small label, he has had the opportunity to work hands on with his artists and assist them with their individual development as an artist. Years of experience in various facets of the music industry, including college and commercial radio, have given Benny Black a wealth of knowledge to better assist his artists with.
From a very young age, Benny Black had a strong interest in creating music. As hip hop began to spread throughout the tri-state area, he was exposed early to the new culture by hearing songs like "Rapper's Delight" and "Planet Rock" on the radio and on tapes when his half sister would visit from Queens. A new concept in television would cause his interest to peak. When MTV launched and music videos became more and more common, a trio from Queens, NY would not only hold his attention but change his perspective on music. Run DMC's "King of Rock" video influenced him for years to come. He was fascinated by the art of MCing and DJing. The straight forward yet witty lyrics combined with hard, gritty beats and aggressive attitude was adopted and imitated by a young Benny Black.
By the time he was a sophomore in high school, he had already started DJing (with paid gigs, even) making beats and writing rhymes. For Christmas, he got a four track cassette recorder and started recording rudimentary tracks. Eventually he met a keyboard player from a reggae band (Cool Runnings) named Jay Williams (Thang Duece/JasWho). Jay took an interest in Benny's music and offered to record him in his home studio. Benny enlisted the help of his friend Hakim (Ak The Brother Grimm/Ak-Z) and began recording with and learning from Jay and from Hakim's father (accomplished jazz musician Kalem Zarif aka William Gault). In addition to recording his own tracks, he also started what he calls a "side hustle" creating and selling mixtapes. He didn't make a ton of money, but he did gain experience working with stores and selling tapes directly to consumers. Part time jobs and "side hustles" helped him save up enough money to buy a new drum machine, the Boss DR-5. Before long he had mastered the machine and was recording tracks in his own home studio on an almost daily basis, with his friend who went by the name of Dome Piece. The two would explore various topics in their music, including the impending downfall of hip hop as an art.
