Within the barren landscape of generic, cliche Australian urban music, The Drone Tree has grown from a rare patch of creative soil.

A startling unconventional union of two DJ's (Vita, Juicy) along with MC's Knovell Capote and Grannt Burrge; The Drone Tree has its roots firmly planted in hip-hop culture. Casting aside the commercial sensibilities of more traditional hip-hop outfits, the group functions as an eclectic mix of inspired artists, working together to bring colour to a blank musical canvas.

As nationally renowned DJ's, Vita and Juicy understand that the fundamentals of their art is simple; to move the listener, both physically and emotionally. With this in mind, The Drone Tree have dedicated themselves to creating substance based records that connect deeply with their audience, yet are accessible enough to keep the dance floor pumping. With years of experience, Vita and Juicy have toured alongside and learned from the best, including Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Rhianna, Ice Cube and Lil Jon. Individually, their mixtape series have earned them a loyal following, and cemented their reputation as industry trend-setters.

On the other side of the equation, MC's Burrge and Capote have established themselves from within the underground hip-hop circuit. The last few years have seen the boys prove themselves lyrically alongside industry veterans such as Scribe, Talib Kweli, Sway and Bliss N Eso. Passing the mic back and forth, the two MC's have developed a harmonious, complementary style; Capote's authoritative, baritone provides the narrative Burrge's vivid imagery.

Currently putting the finishing touches on their debut mixtape, The Drone Tree are gearing up for a busy summer, with album recording sessions sandwich between a seemingly endless touring schedule. The group takes it all in stride, because once the seeds are sewed, The Drone Tree will grow.
