Not content to wallow in mainstream mediocrity, Frequency 7 rises above the unexceptional, hell-bent on creating a new sound. Since 2005, Frequency 7 has captivated audiences from coast to coast by creating explosive music reeling of energy, passion and focused creativity. They seamlessly blend their take on hip-hop, rock, funk and reggae, spinning it into a style unmistakably theirs with universal appeal. The ensuing sound is much too dimensional and complex to be shelved alongside the monotony associated with most of today’s music.
Seven intensely dedicated musicians/performers compose the heart and soul of Frequency 7. Collectively, these individuals eradicate present-day boilerplate expectations of music with hard-hitting lyrics, addictive melodies and genuine talent. Frontman Michael “Skinny” Cavallo is a master of seduction with both his clever lyrics and larger-than-life stage presence. MC Amadeus creates beautifully complicated layers that complement Skinny’s vocals with deliverance so powerful, yet resonating with raw emotion. When you hear this immensely talented band wax their version of poetic on the sometimes gritty existence of life, you believe that they have been there; the stories embedded in the lyrics come from an authentic place.
Throughout the past few years, Frequency 7 has rocked devoted audiences in the Boston area as well as played to sold-out crowds across the country. Two of their more significant performances to-date includes playing at New York City’s legendary lounge CBGB, which has fathered genre-defining acts such as The Ramones and Blondie, as well as Cane’s in beachfront San Diego. The show in San Diego was especially monumental because Frequency 7 played to a sold-out show primarily there to see them, as they opened for hip-hop greats De La Soul and KRS- ONE.
Frequency 7 has successfully spawned a sound that will long outlast the typical; expect to see them performing to crowds of thousands in years to come.
