Brief Biography:I’m a ASCAP registered hip hop recording artist, producer, promoter, publicist, published author, poet, freelance writer, songwriter, blogger, graphic artist and artist. I grew up Oceanside, CA and now reside in Dallas, TX. I picked up the nickname AddLibbz for my ability to flow on any topic and ad-lib of any comment and freestyle. I have made mixtapes and have put out mixtapes that have been listened to over 75,000 people under the Dj alias Dj XDC (X-DarqChyld). I started making mix tapes (when they where still actually tapes). I’ve had a few brushes with my 15 minutes of fame, starring in episode of Beach MTV in 1993, along with receiving some local news coverage.
My Experience in Music: my first live performance doing rap that I had written over a beat I produced was at a Mars Music store open mic a friend invited me to. He failed to mention it was put on by CMT, I placed well & got recognition for my writing abilities, placing better than a friend of mine who did an original rock song and another friend who did an original acoustic song. I started rapping as full time as am emcee in 2003 with a group we formed called SoulFIRE. I supervised the independent release of our album Fired Up on my XDC Record label. I also promoted us statewide and nationally, getting us on a cable battle of the bands on the Damascus Road Show in which we received second place performing a song I wrote and produced. After moving on due to members getting married and moving I started the Dallas/Fort Worth Hip Hop Alliance to bring artist together we did some really successful shows Faze1 Final Fridays & Faze1 First Fridays, along with others shows in conjunction with other local promoters. We also had local meetings for artist to network, build and grow. For a season I worked for Dj Maj’s Virtual Frequency as their Dallas representative, helped get the show back on the air, as well helped plan and promote a Virtual Frequency Christmas show at The Neotropolis in Carrollton, TX. After that I started working for Tre-9 and Much Luvv Records as their marketing and promotion manager, getting “The Next… Now!” album reviewed by the like of OkayPlayer & into such store as Under Ground Hip Hop as well as putting out mixtapes to promote Much Luvv Records releases. I promoted to magazines and radio CY’s The Ringleader as his publicist for a while.

Using transparency and an ability to put myself in the shoes of the listeners I am able to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
