[About SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON] SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON is a Seattle-based hiphop duo formed by Jonnie Storm (MC/Vocal) and Nitro Fresh (Beats/Talkbox). Seattle-native (born & raised) Jonnie Storm, then known as JonDoe, started rapping in high school. He formed a group called Lyrical Influence with his brother LRC the Man, D-Frost and Bloddy Passion. After a couple years of exposure and a brief experience with a local music label, SeaSick Records, JonDoe stared performing with Sir Kado and Maanumental (of Giant Panda). They later launched a label called Ukenjam Records which JonDoe and LRC the Man released several albums as Blak Swan with. JonDoe decided to reinvent himself as not only a rapper but a musician and changed his name to Jonnie Storm shortly before his EP release. Born in Seoul, Korea, Nitro Fresh’s musical career began in his high school years. He was a rapper/producer formerly known as M.A.XX. (Musically Appealing Xtraordinary Xpert) in a Korean-American community as well as in the University of Washington. As a founding member of Rapsori Project, a hiphop group consisted of first generation Korean-American immigrants, he released two albums on MP3.com. Starting in the late 90s he concentrated more on electronic music such as techno, trance and house genres. Under his solo project named Creamy Revolution, he co-produced “E.F.O.”(Electronic Flying Object), one of the first electronic music compilation releases in South Korea, and Cosmic Ally. While he kept himself busy producing and remixing many international artists, he decided to work closely with local artists mainly in the genre of hiphop. Jonnie Storm and Nitro Fresh had first met in 2008 at the local album release party by the rapper Soul the Interrogator. It was when Jonnie Storm put out his EP, “Rain Proof”, and consistently performed at various venues. It was also when Nitro Fresh had just returned to the hip hop production after spending 7-8 years as an electronic musician and DJ. After greeting, Jonnie Storm and Nitro Fresh exchanged their CDs and were immediately impressed by each other’s skills and potentials. Jonnie Storm and Nitro Fresh realized they both had similar passion and tastes in music. The two decided to combine their forces and formed a duo, Saturday Morning Cartoon. As a group, Jonnie Storm writes majority of rhymes while Nitro Fresh does 90% of production and engineering as well as a talkbox. They are known for their unique performance on the stage where Nitro Fresh plays his MPC drum machine and a talkbox while Jonnie Storm raps and hypes the crowds. “We try not to do the typical rap show where MCs rap with their instrumental CDs played by DJ in the background,” say Jonnie Storm and Nitro Fresh. One often sees Saturday Morning Cartoon as a “Seattle version of Blu & Exile with a hint of Roger Troutman” who are some of Saturday Morning Cartoon’s heavy influences.
