(le) poisson rouge

Ge-ology’s work as a painter and illustrator has gone hand-in-hand with his music production, collaborations and remixes. He has worked with renowned recording artists such as Mos Def & Talib Kweli (Blackstar), Jill Scott, De La Soul, Yukimi Nagano (from Little Dragon / Koop), Sadat X (Brand Nubian), Pharoahe Monch (Organized Konfusion), Vinia Mojica, Bahamadia, Res, Consequence (Kanye West /A Tribe Called Quest), Dabo (JAPAN / Nitro Microphone Underground) and DJ Spinna’s hip-hop group, The Jigmastas.

Ge-ology’s sound is also evident in the 3 chart-toping songs he produced for Welsh songstress Jem. Her debut album, “Finally Woken” went platinum in the UK, including the Ge-ology produced top 10 hit “They,” which reached #6 on the Billboard Music Chart. And most recently, his music appeared in the Oscar nominated film, “The Kids Are All Right”, directed by Lisa Cholodenko (of “Wendy & Lisa” fame, key members of Prince’s infamous band; The Revolution).

His early music production began in high school at the Baltimore School for the Arts, in which he was the DJ and beat-maker in a four-member group, “Born Busy”, including fellow student and good friend, the legendary Tupac Shakur (known then as MC New York). Ge-ology (under the moniker, DJ Plain Terror) is credited for producing the very first demo/song Tupac had ever recorded his vocals on.

Ge-Ology’s gigs have also taken him around the world and across the US numerous times. He has played everywhere from boat parties in Lyon, France on the Rhône river; the Styrbord Babord docked in Gothenburg, Sweden; Tromso in the deep freeze of Norway’s Arctic; and the Q-Bar in Bangkok, Thailand. His DJ sets have rocked dance floors in London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Oslo, Barcelona, Vienna, Reykjavík, Stockholm, Helsinki, Madrid, Montreal, and many other cities.

He is known for taking crowds on musical journeys that can encompass a range of genres from Funk-Jazz, Soul, Disco Classics, Break Beats, Latin, Afro-Beat, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian Samba & Bossa Nova, Deep & Classic House, Detroit Techno, Classic Hip Hop, and any timeless underground music for the dance floor.
