TUCKER PROFILE
TUCKER started his career as Electone player in 1990s. In 1998, he
joined
NATURAL CALAMITY's US tour for a month. The same year he released his
first
7" EP "MAN FROM ELECTONE". In 1999, He participated in JACKIE & THE
CEDRICS's US tour for a month, composed songs and recorded Electone on
the
10" EP called "JACKIE & THE CEDRICS", released on the New York based
label
NORTON. Next year, after opening their Las vegas show, TUCKER joined
their
West Coast tour. In January 2003, TUCKER released his first album
"TUCKER IS
COMING" from ODDJOB RECORDS. He was also featured on on a song from
MONEY
MARK's "FATHER DEMO SQUARE" in 2005. In November 2005, TUCKER released
his
highly anticipated second album called "ELECTOON WIZARD" on UNIVERSAL
MUSIC.
At SONAR 2006 in Barcelona, TUCKER was nominated "The Best of SONAR"
by both
audience and international press.
TUCKER joined Money Mark's Europe Tour as a bass player in 2006. After
releasing "QUIET RIOT" DVD,he performed in England and Germany last
year,
then appeared at BIG DAY OUT in Australia.
The explosive mix of Hip Hop and Punk influence together with his
improvisational Jazz style are what make TUCKER a truly unique soulful
virtuoso. In addition to keyboard, he also plays guitar, turntables,
and
other instruments. All of TUCKER's shows have become legendary.

There's a new Electone artist in town. And he's pulling out the stops to make Electone hot! Tucker combines Electone, synth, scratching and literally BLAZING theatrics to create crowd pleasing performances that dispell any belief that Electone isn't cool.
Emerging in 1998 with the hot single "The Man From Electone", the music industry took notice of Tucker's releases. It quickly becomes obvious that this artist blew out of the studio and onto the stage. Since then he has never looked-back.
When Tucker first appears on stage you don't quite know what's in store for you. A cheap rhythm machine starts cranking out reckless beats, setting the scene for what's about to happen. All of a sudden the artist slaps out some biting Electone notes, cutting through the air, dispelling your fear that he's not going to use the Electone for much. You know something is going to happen... something big. The tension starts building as Tucker adds more to the mix.
Watching a Tucker performance you feel as though you are getting caught up in something spicy, bold and reckless. Combining turntable, Electone, base, drum, sampling, the flame (he literally sets his instruments on fire!), standing upside down on the Electone, and even scratching the turntable with his nose, the energy builds, causing audience outbursts and spontaneous gasps of awe. This is dangerous, and you're a part of it! But like a deer in headlights, you can't do anything but just let your jaw drop open, listen and watch.
