- Tue, Aug 18, 10:30 am
Christylez delivers a show that combines clever songwriting, interactive choruses, and diverse instrumentation including, the west-african djembe drum, human beat-box, spoons, water bottles, the brazilian berimbeau, and ukulele. All instruments all played up to two at a time while rhyming, creating 45 minutes of multi-tasking madness.
Christon “Christylez” Bacon is a native Washingtonian and a testament to groundbreaking Hip-Hop, self-expression, and pure artistry. As a performer, Christylez multi-tasks between various instruments such as the West-African Djembe drum, Acoustic Guitar, and the syncopated oral percussions of the Human Beat-Box, all while creating imagery with his lyrics. Christylez has been featured at many venues commonly unassociated with the realm of Hip-Hop music including the National Cathedral, the Kennedy Center, and the Music Center at Strathmore. In March 2008, Christylez became the first Hip-Hop artist to receive an Artist In Residence position at the Music Center of Strathmore. Within months, he quickly became the first artist to sell out both public performances during his month of residency. With versatility, clever songwriting, and pure talent, Christylez will continue to paint his dynamic perspective of Hip-Hop music into to minds of many. Visit Christylez online at www.christylez.com.
