CaLoge & Tonya Ni': Bio

CALOGE - CEO / Artist / Writer / Producer / Arranger / Mixer / Composer

CaLoge was born and raised on the south side of Chicago in the Englewood area. Coming up at an early age he always had a love for music. He took a few piano lessons and played in some of the school talent shows along with playing in the band. CaLoge is a pretty good drummer and guitarist as well. He was then introduced to deejaying by neighborhood friends and was inspired by DJ Jazzy Jeff. CaLoge started spinning records throughout various neighborhoods from backyard parties, to school & house parties, to block parties and then on to doing shows.

Hip-Hop then stormed the scene and he had to have a piece of it. He then started looking into making music and not just spinning music. He bought his first equipment and went fast to work. CaLoge started making beats for local hip-hop artist and even instrumental break-dance music for break-dance battles. All the crews loved him and his name vastly started to spread throughout the neighborhoods.

After spending some time working with other artist, he decided to break off and do his own thing. The pen and pad came into effect and he became a triple threat in hip-hop music; writing, producing, and spitting his own material.

CaLoge entered a Pepsi contest with his local hometown radio station. CaLoge's flow was so deadly, they shut the contest down after his flow. They knew that night that no one would come close to defeating him. Needless to say, "HE WON" and was awarded the prize hands down!!!

CaLoge took the world over and broke through Hip-Hop in "2006", with his Debut Album "Brace Ya'Self" which includes Hypnotic Trax blended with smooth mellow vocals. A different rap mixture from the norm.

CaLoge went on to release his sophomore album "The Jazz, Funk & Soul of MaCosa" in 2008. This album is a dash of Ol’ Skool by the ounce with a New Skool bounce. This recipe of music is a Jazz Fusion of Funk that Thumps & Bumps!!!

He released a third album in 2010, entitled "Full Tilt". This is a 17-Song Album which includes various Genres of music that he calls the "The Combo Pack".

CaLoge also produced 9 Trax on Reckless "Queen Of Da Streets" Album.

CaLoge enjoys writing, producing, jb skating, stepping, drawing hip hop pieces, airbrushing, auto customizing, photography, the designing of his "Calogee" shoe line, and the list goes on and on... He's what you call a jack of all trades.

CaLoge is definitely needed on the scene to bring hip hop the link that it's been missing...
