Bio
CHRIS BANDJO
"Country wit a Hip Hop Appeal"
My name is “Chris Bandjo” One side of me is from
the true origin of the West African instrument the banjo in Country music
(African American) and the other side of me is (Caucasian) which is commonly
seen in Country Music".
"I think Country Music is about
storytelling and so is Hip Hop, so I thought it was only be-fitting for me to
express myself musically through Country - Hip Hop music to invite you, the
listener on a musical journey created and produced from the Colorblind lens of
a multi-cultural view and sound as we come to understand that is on how America
is steadily growing culturally and socially. No matter Black or White we
continually band together to share this country and even to share this world,
just as we share an instrument in music the banjo that I like to call the
Bandjo. So my music and name represents this quite interesting and eye opening
concept reality of life".
I am a teen from the small town of Conyers GA; I
have been entertaining since the age of 6. I am a former West Georgia Boys and
Girls Club Teen Spokesman and Winner of the President’s Award for my services
as an artist and community activist. I have written and produced my soon to be released
country album entitled "F.U.N.K.Y Country",
Being a prolific songwriter; I have a sound that
is also held together by the dynamics of one; being a rapper that have
diligently worked to transform myself into a musician and singer. I use a
strong, unique and sensual vocal style to deliver songs with a lyrical imagery
style of rapping and singing that cleverly blends an identifiable stamp of my
raw, rock style of banjo playing. With my versatility I deliver an
unpredictable spin on the country music’s up-tempos, mid-tempos and ballads,
giving them a sexy, erotic feel suggesting love and intimacy as the
destination.
My style of producing music with a variety of
distinctive sounds and vocal emotions, colorfully fuses together to take you on
a Country- Hip Hop Ride that drops you off right in the heart of a new Country
sound in a town called Smashville!!!!
Being a person of few words I make it a point to
say, ''I possess the ability and gift to produced myself and would like to
remain in that category of artist which is only shared by a few. My goals as an
entertainer, are to write and produce music for other artist and present The
Kingdom of my music to the world on stage with the kind of live energetic
excitement and intensity that creates the same atmosphere that you would see
and feel at a Rock Concert".
Chris Bandjo seems to do this as he musically
summons up and channels many of our legends and greats from yesterday such as:
(Elvis Presley , Jimmy Hendrix, Charlie Pride, Jonny Cash, Prince and Michael
Jackson) using all of his tools in his arsenal of performance such as;
his shockingly long hair, his Singing, Rapping and Country Hip Hop style, with
such depth that screams at you to recognize the coming of one of the most
electrifying artist and young Country stars of our time: " Chris Bandjo
and his band the tha Medics, will take you on a true cosmic experience.
As quoted in an interview by Chris Bandjo, I
am Chris, I and tha Medics have Come to unite cultures and to bring a
musical orgasm that will impregnate the world to give birth and create
"Country-Versey",
