“If GEORGE CLINTON went fishing with STING in the Caribbean, while a RABBI was beat boxing JAY-Z at a Gospel concert with FIDEL CASTRO hiding in the back, your soundtrack would be DBP”.

After living in Berlin, Germany for 7 years (performing with artists such as Mousse T, Miss Platnum, and Jazzanova), Chicago-based musician DBP returned to the USA in 2009. He self-released his debut EP “On a Silver Platter” in 2011 that he worked on with producer/engineer Greg Magers (Lupe Fiasco’s “The Cool”, Umphrey’s Mcgee). He is presently also a member of the Chicago Collective “Sidewalk Chalk” (voted “Most Outstanding Band or Group” by the Chicago Music Awards 2012) and a member of Verzatile, with whom he has appeared on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien and taken the stage with Lupe Fiasco, Res, Talib Kweli, J DaVeY, De La Soul, Wu Tang Clan, and more. He has worked with and composed/arranged for producers of Umphrey’s Mcghee, Patrick Stump, Lupe Fiasco, Fall Out Boy, Psy, and Matthew Santos.

The live show will smack you all in the face and leave you with a smile from brow to brow.”

SHE is an all female band developed in 2011 by members Shay (Shalynn Brown) and Loona Dae (Jasmine Parks) whom were previously introduced to the idea of starting a female band by a close friend. After about a year of fumbling through member losses and experimental jam sessions to provoke their musical identity as a band, SHE is now comprised of six members: Shay, Loona Dae, Midori (Schenay Mosley), Page (Page Kallop), Ashley (Ashley Janea Otis) and Margie Renee (Margie Robinson). Heavily inspired by artists including Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae, Duke Ellington, Sun Ra, D’Angelo, George Clinton, Bob Marley, Pharrell, Billie Holiday, Hiatus Kaiyote, Happy Apple, Robert Glasper, The Roots, Talib Kweli and many more, SHE has discovered a sound, image and performance style of their own that ultimately manifested their vision to create music that can be loved and understood universally.
