MC B
10.04.2010
MC B began Mcing life as a versatile urban music MC. Developing his style in many Drum&Bass, Garage, Hip Hop and R&B raves around the UK. However the lure of the UK Bounce sound proved irresistible.
His big break came when childhood friend Mike Discala formed the Resonance Q group bringing Ben in as one half of the act. This allowed him to sample club life UK wide as they embarked on a successful tour to promote their Someday single. The successes of this allowed him to perform PA’s for Ultrabeat, Klubrockers and more recently Sosumi, AK Project, Outsource and Sound Selectaz.
His performances brought him to the attention of the Pleasure Rooms who recruited him to their already successful team. Their JUICE FM radio show has enabled his lyrical, innovative and rhythmic mcing style to be brought to a wider audience each and every Saturday night. Every summer they can be seen performing @ Boomerang Club in Majorca Spain, as well as major Clubs up and down the UK and Ireland.
Though an established multi-style dance music performer; Ben has not forgotten his urban music roots regularly hosting events that feature such artists as Tim Westwood, Trevor Nelson, DJ Spoony, Heartless Crew and Fire Camp.
He has recently formed a group known as Strictly Vybz which is an innovative dance collective consisting of 2 DJs and 3 MCs. They tour the country bringing their own brand of innovative urban/bounce house style to the dance music clubs of the UK. Their CD releases are amongst the most popular in the North West and bring a unique blend of quality lyrics and bouncy, energetic house lyrics.
Ben’s great performances saw him nominated for The Bounce Heaven Awards MC of the Year.
The last year has seen Ben begin to mix with the dance music mainstream. He was recently part of the platinum selling artist Basshunter’s Bass Generation UK tour, hosting all the events. This coupled with his appearances on various Clubland events has marked Ben out as a star of the future.
Ben has also turned his hand to song writing and can be heard on recent collaborations with Alex K, Head Hunters, Vibeout, Outsource, Sound Selektaz, Northern Allstars, Total Controle, and Bounce Heaven. Most of these tracks can be found on Dance Music compilations. So look out for more song releases coming soon to your record stores.
