Bach2Smooth, or just B2S, hails from Calisonor in that state of dreams. We could say a lot about Bach2Smooth. Bach2Smooth is cool. Bach2Smooth is handsome. Bach2Smooth does not like biographies. Bach2Smooth can breakdance fight. What more do you need to know?
BACH-2-SMOOTH-WILL-MAKE-YOU ROCK IT!!!
But here is a little about B2S’ mindset and goals as a music artist…..
Okay, Bach2Smooth is suppose to be a DJ performer, or performing DJ, or whatever you might want to call him. Soooo, this should mean he actually performs, right??? What makes a performer??? Well, if you get up and do something in front of someone else you are essentially a performer, plain and simple. But one thing is certain, some performers stand out from others.
B2S hopes to bring more to the table than just standing behind, well, a table, and playing other people’s music. That can be awesome too!!! But it’s not what Bach2Smooth wants to define him.
This is why he strives to entertain beyond expectations, beyond what most people think a DJ can be. It actually might help to try to think of this guy as more of just a music performer than a DJ, although this term has come to mean much more, encompass much more, to many people than it use to. Sure, mixing is part of his game, which, at heart, is the essence of a DJ and is a performance in itself…..For those of you who don’t understand the 4 pillars of Hip Hop, and what makes a traditional DJ, please do your reading. 🙂
But Bach2Smooth pushes to exceed what a traditional DJ is. Eh, what’s so extraordinary about that??? Nowadays it seems like every “DJ” is trying to be more than just a DJ. But how many are successful??? How many actually do anything different??? It’s hard to excel at more than one thing!!!
Yep, B2S might yell at the crowd and tell peeps to get their hands up. As is the common practice, video, graphics, lighting and other art are all woven into his shows. But he refuses to rely solely on these repetitive present day DJ practices to make up his performances. There is nothing wrong with this stuff. It’s all freaking great!!! But B2S has a different idea of the kind of performer he wants to be.
He grew up being amazed by artists like MJ, OutKast, Green Day, Tina Turner, Prince and the Rolling Stones, all artists known for their onstage flare as much as their music. To B2S, the performance of artists like these, and so many other greats, like James Brown, can be just as important as the music. If you go watch a show, and the performance sucks, it can really kill great songs. But a good performance can nearly always make a mediocre track waaay better!!!
Many DJs, and musicians in general, would say it’s not about a fancy show. It’s about the music. B2S isn’t arguing against this. It is about the music. And some artists choose to focus on the music alone. Without it there is no performance, after all. And great music stands the test of time. It takes us to another realm.
This is why B2S chooses to create his own music, in addition to mixing that of others. It’s extremely important to him to create something of his own and never to feel inhibited when doing so. He has been influenced by so many artists, why limit himself to a single genre??? Talent is talent. Rhythm is rhythm. Good music is good music, period. And there is so much good stuff out there. Let your style flow. Bruce said it best, “Be water my friend.”
It is obvious many “DJs” out there nowadays, if you want to call them that limiting term, feel the same way. Look at all the strange blends and collaborations gaining popularity. Original guitar tracks and instrumentals are being incorporated with electronic beats. Country and blue grass is being mixed with dance tracks. It’s not just mixing. It’s bringing something totally new to life. It’s composing.
Hence, this can be considered the reason many DJs are now being called simply producers. But then these producers also go out and perform their music, often in a very DJ like fashion. It can all be very confusing!!! But one thing is for sure, none of the title stuff really matters. It’s all an ego booster or a way for people to label.
It really is just about the music. And to each his own. Moments alter our desires and moods. For some, all they want is the music. But for others, they want a total experience. This is what Bach2Smooth aims to bring.
Rest assured, when you see Bach2Smooth perform, he means to perform big. That means breaking the barrier of the turntables, mixers and control interfaces between him and the audience, aka YOU!!! Step into his show.
And…..ROCK IT!!!
