sonstiges	Back in the late 80's under the name "DJ Plainterror", GE-OLOGY was once the DJ/producer of a four member group "Born Busy" including high school friend, the legendary Tupac Shakur "MC New York"... uniquely cementing him historically as the only producer privileged to record Pac's very first and earliest recordings. And in the early 90's he co-founded the infamous "Dooable Arts" with Matt Reid aka "Matt Doo", through which he first made his mark. Since then he's become synonymously known for album cover art, T-shirt graphics, magazine illustrations and collaborative mural paintings with his fellow Barnstormers crew (a famed artist collective created by Davd Ellis aka SKWERM), as much as he's known for producing tracks with the likes of Mos Def, Vinia Mojica, Talib Kweli, Sadat X, Pharoahe Monch, Jem, Mystic or his remixes for Pete Rock & Grand Agent. Boasting international acclaim, one of his most recognized paintings is the Rawkus classic "Body Rock" cover featuring Mos Def, Q-Tip and Tash from Tha Alkaholiks (featured in Andrew Emery's "The Book of Hip Hop Cover Art" and listed at #3 in "EgoTrip's Book of Rap List" 25 Great EP, 12" & CD Single Covers section). But to truly understand GE-OLOGY, one must not underestimate his influence, depth and versatility. Embracing the sacred principles and wisdom of great masters yet challenging convention with youthful rebellion, GE-OLOGY's instinctual balance is somewhat of an anomaly in today's clone driven mass-produced digitized society. His recognizable identity through sound, vision and consistency hasn't gone unnoticed, thus resulting in a steady stream of exposure in numerous magazines such as XLR8R, The Fader, Frank 151, Style and Urb; cable network staple MTV News "You Hear It First"; and creative involvement in projects with international corporate giants such as Sweden's Hennes & Mauritz (H&M stores) and the prestigious French cognac maker Hennessy. Though creatively venturing from the street level to infiltrating the creative commercial world, GE-OLOGY has never wavered from keeping his craft responsibly honest to the delight of longtime supporters... always maintaining his creative integrity. As evident in the barrage of fan mail from his international core audience, GE-OLOGY continues to open eyes... and this is only the beginning. More exclusively, the GE-OLOGY name is somewhat of a boutique brand equally respected in music and visual art. He was chosen from a handful of artist/celebrities to individually hand paint sneakers for a private New York exhibition launching the widely displayed K-Swiss campaign. He's one of seven artists chosen to collectively paint outdoor murals and model for the Barnstormers featured H&M advertising blitz. Painting duties for the collective included: a house in the Pasadena hills, a floating midsize boat, a car, canvases, skateboards, a performance stage, etc. Further recognition of his talent lead to expand the campaign's concept to include a 6-song GE-OLOGY music sampler (H&M presents GE-OLOGY, "Nomadic Disorientation") in conjunction with the H&M/Barnstormer print ads. All of which were launched by a media-frenzied SoHo gallery opening and month long exhibition, "Billboards", in which he and many other recognized artists collaboratively resurfaced two 50 ft. life-size billboard reproductions from earlier Barnstormer painted barns and a full-size 18 wheeler truck. The exhibition served as a fundraiser for the non-profit youth organization "Art Start" and gave the artists a unique opportunity to interact and paint with the kids, who collaborated on some of the gallery paintings as well. In addition, H&M's website featured 3 looped GE-OLOGY instrumentals, 2 video trailers scored with his music and a page featuring him and each of the six other Barnstormer artists from the campaign. Currently, he's on the verge of setting up his first international solo art show, releasing his first full-length LP, a coffee table art book, a mix CD and working with a collage of artists and sound palettes that span the spectrum beyond categorized limitations. Redefining sound and space, contrast, hue and texture... that is GE-OLOGY... complex, simplistic, versatile, intricate. We expect to unveil his musical production with artists such as Jill Scott and De La Soul as well as an eclectic array of new material ranging from Brooklyn bred Hip-Hop artist/actor Mos Def to G?org Sweden's own bright new talent Yukimi Nagano (Koop), Germany's Max Herre (Freundeskreis) featuring Philly native Vikter Duplaix (Axis Music Group) and totally from the left... Dave Matthew's ATO Records' shining star Jem, the Welsh singer/ songwriter who co-wrote Madonna's "Nothing Fails" single, and whose debut LP "Finally Woken" has virtually infiltrated TV networks' hottest shows such as Desperate Housewives, The OC, Crossing Jordon, CSI Miami, Las Vegas, just to name a few (and the album hasn't even been out a year yet). Not to mention, Hollywood film trailers (e.g. "Closer," starring Julia Roberts), TV ads, talk show performances, a Dave Matthews tour, radio airplay and the debut music video that all features GE-OLOGY's music (who co-wrote & produced three standout songs on her album, including the first single "They"). As quoted by writer Hua Hsu in Urb Magazine's 9th annual Next 100 issue, GE-OLOGY's "on the cusp of something seismic". Brace yourself!
