As featured in the visionary films, “Breath Control” and “Freestyle, The Art Of Rhyme,” Radio Active has made a worldwide impact in this genre of beatboxing; the art of vocal percussion. This skill has translated into a industry as a voice talent and you could hear Radio Active as announcer on two very popular video games, “Dance, Dance Revolution” and “Dance, Dance Revolution 2” as well as game announcer for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors on Fox Sports some years ago.

Radio Active’s “Sleep or Sell,” mixtape release mixed by D Sharp was a showcase of Radio Active’s diverse configurations and projects at the time. He revealed himself in his first mixtape as a powerful emcee, topflight beatboxer and prolific poet. Alongside his solo tracks like the opener, “Wake Up”, Radio Active brought some of his favorite collaborations to the mixtape including “We Don’t Stop” with Michael Franti and Spearhead and the Gift of Gab, “Yes Mi Friends” with Nigerian Reggae Star Victor Essiet, “Discharge” and “Neva” with early Boston partners, Shuman and Delwin G. as well as cuts with Jahi, Subverse and Dave Shul.

Independent release, “BMMNM Vol 1, Breakbox,” was Radio Active’s self-produced first full-length almost fully beatbox record. Creating the beat vocally (with the aid of a pan flute or digeredoo on a few tracks) he uses a DL4 Line 6 sampling box, and layers and loops his beatbox rhythms and finishes with his vocals. The entire project, including lyrics, beats, production and artwork are by Radio Active. This is the first volume of a set, with slated future releases to include already recorded yet to be released vol 2. Voixbox and Vol3. Spitbox , Vol 4. Boxcutter, Vol 5. Slambox, vol 6. musicbox, vol.7. Horn Box, Vol. 8 KeyBox and so on and so forth...

Still on the Drawing board, you can catch a couple ruff drafts of parts of it. this as well as health has brought him back and forth with lifestyle change. Deciding he was not going go under the same name in the Kid-Hop world, so he started to envision an animated Kid-Hop show......

, Visual art is another division of Radio Active’s creativity. As a multi-media artist, you can find his paintings and graph art hanging in galleries and sprayed on streets around the world. Radio Active employs live art into some of his performances, where he’ll paint a piece during his musical set. His mixed-media sets are another testament to his credit as a true crossover artist.

Radio Active’s musical journey has brought him across the globe from large stages, performing with internationally touring musical artists to the backstage alleys, free-styling with the locals. His influences are simplistic, “Both hip hop and the street were crucial in my music development, the street provided a large impact on my music and all outlets of my creative expression. The raw emotion and honesty of the street reveals itself without regret. Seeing other kids rapping, seeing what they feel, inspires me.”

Radio Active continues to expand his global musical journey and states, “I am looking forward to a continued pursuit of music experience, now grounded with an international perspective. I will stay active, learn and teach Hip Hop.”
