King Britt is a pioneer of all things soulful, rhythmically textured and melodically provocative. The Philly native has found a way to escape the constraints of a single category of music by expressing his creations through deep house, hip-hop, broken beat, nu-jazz, funk and afro-tech. In 1992, King became DJ for the Grammy award winning Digable Planets. As the wax poet for Ishmael “Butterfly” Butler, Doodlebug and Ladybug, the band changed the face of modern hip-hop by fusing skat-style jazz with lyrical, deep and soulful vocal flow. And to this day he continues to deliver performances as a house, hip-hop, funk and even 80s DJ to adoring fans the world otver.
