BEATROCK MUSIC COLLABORATES WITH BAY AREA ARTIST LEO DOCUYANAN TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY OF INDIE HIP HOP LABEL.
For the 2 year celebration, the love for art & will extend to the visual realm; as the event will premiere a special Beatrock Music art exhibit courtesy of photographer Leo Docuyanan. Docuyanan’s name is already on the radar of many; especially known for his portraits of Bay Area Hip Hop icons. “I was already familiar with his portraits” says Strand, “When Leo first brought up the idea of the collaboration, I was honored that he saw a natural connection between his work and our artists. We are very excited to team up with him.”
Each Beatrock Music artist sat with Docuyanan to shoot their portrait for the exhibit. “Everyone in the Beatrock family has their own individual identity and musical aesthetic” says Docuyanan. Guests will be able to see the visual personalities of each artist, and also see what connects them as musical collective. Docuyanan notes “The sound of the label aims celebrate that golden era of Hip Hop, combined with each artist’s independent and quality driven styles. The music is organic and free-flowing. I’m glad it has been embraced by all walks of life.”
Music fans will be treated to performances from label artists, including: Rocky Rivera, Power Struggle, Otayo Dubb, Bwan, and Kiwi. The excitement is also building around a special performance from Bambu with Seattle based artist, Prometheus Brown (of Blue Scholars). The two just completed a national tour, and have previously collaborated on WALK INTO A BAR, released earlier this year on Beatrock Music. Bambu hopes this will be a night that fans will not soon forget. “They can expect Pro Brown and I to wild-the-F-out! Ha!”
