Bio
Mark Savage Jr – AKA - DC1
DC1 has been rapping for more than eleven years now. Starting out at the
age of twelve he began formulating his rhyming scheme with elaborate poems
on his life and societal views. His inspirations early on were Busta
Rhymes, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Tupac, MLK Jr, Malcolm X and many other
influential Americans. DC1 first performed at a talent show in his PFL
summer camp, which gave him the spark to pursue this talent. He soon went
on to performing on a Sneaker Villa tour around Philly, all the while
perfecting his own craft. His style is definitely unique. Some say he has
the potential to be another Jay-Z while others say his style reminds them
of Tupac. Personally DC1 likes to think he has an original flow, that while
may seem similar to other rappers, it is hands down a sound not quiet heard
before.
Recently DC1 has finished creating his first debut mixtape, which boast his
lyrical talents, and has a new single titled “Get Up Outta Dodge”. Also
featured on this CD are some crafty singers, Kasheera, Adrienne and
Ambrose, who helped bring life to this message filled L.P. DC1 also had a
concert put together at West Chester University in the spring of 08’,
called “The Vision Tour”, this show had comedians, singers, models,
designers and a few other acts that made up a spectacular evening! The
reason for this concert was to promote local artist and talents while
giving most of the proceeds to a Hurricane Katrina Fund. The Vision Tour
will be on its way up and down the east coast so be on the look out for it!
Also at his school, West Chester Univ., he was considered the campuses
“Renaissance Man” because of his involvement in football, TV club,
rapping, working and going to class.
From laptop recordings to small studio basements to professional quality
tracks DC1 has nearly perfected his sound. He is definitely ready to be
heard by the world, which is one of his goals in life. Be on the look out
for this young mogul, he not only raps but also he is currently working at
a TV studio and makes music videos for local artist, on the side. Be All
You Can Be Everyday!!!
