Scarz was discovered at the young age of 13 by an independent record label ‘Wanted Recordz’ in 2001. Owner and founder Shady Supreme quoted Scarz as “A mature and humble young man with wisdom, which is why I signed him to the label and also because he can spit dat fire!” Starting out Scarz found inspiration in the church, admiring the work of the musicians and their creativity this was where he made the decision to follow a career in music. Performing came naturally from doing shows in school assemblies to Vibrations in Burgess Park, crowd-pleasing was one of his many expertises. At 14 he was battling rappers in the streets and nightclubs, struggling past bouncers showing people he had the credentials to challenge much older MC’s. Scarz reigned Champion for six weeks in Streatham’s Forum (formerly known as Foxy Brown). Now, 10 years on Wanted Recordz have moulded him into a multi-talented artist; Rapper, Songwriter, Producer and Actor. The summer of 2006 saw the UK Hip Hop/Grime scen shook up by the influential song called ‘You got Boy’d’. Upon submitting this video to Channel U within its first week of being aired it went straight to number 1 and stayed in the top 10 for 7 weeks. The song was fully embraced by young people nationwide, stamping its foot for a new era of terminology. The word ‘Boy’d’ had become a commonly used phrase for kids to say. Off the success he went on to perform around the country; Kingston, Cardiff, Rochester, Portsmouth, Crawley, London’s Hackney Ocean plus many more even in France where he got great reception and was invited back. He has done shows alongside Scouting for Girls, Tinie Tempah, Pendulum, Mista Jam, Dj Cameo, Sway (signed to Akon’s record label Konvict music), in Bournemouth Never satisfied with just writing, producing and marketing his own music in April 2008, he starred in Sony’s revolutionary ‘Sofia’s Diary’ playing Mikey, an aspiring DJ/Producer. The series was about a teenage girl uploading videos of her everyday life. It attracted 8 million viewers on Bebo and Channel Fiver (formally known as Five life) alone. The creators of the series also recognised his musical abilities and used several of his songs for the soundtrack, including ‘Call me Scarz’, ‘Don’t watch dat’ ft. Twissman and ‘Link Me’. 2009 was an exciting year. Scarz teamed up with Leo Laker a talented Producer from Reading to bring a fresh new vibe to the ‘Scarz’ sound. Working together they created the infectious song ‘Link me’. The response from his fans and the high demand for the comical but stylish ‘Link me’ T-Shirts was enough evidence that this song would be an instant hit. The release of the song would lead to various University tours and supporting lines alongside Tinie Tempah, Scouting for Girls, Pendulum, Mista Jam, Dj Cameo and Sway. . Scarz was invited to ‘Hip Hop Lives’ tour in winter 2010 as a support act across the south coast with two major independent artists. Zuby and Mr Shaodow both selling 20,000 units between them and a growing fan base. 5 dates in Southampton, Oxford, Wantage, Poole and London. Now on the verge to release his first official album ‘Spread Love Not War’ there is one question that comes to mind. “Where do you see Scarz in the future?” “My music is a depiction of how I see the world and surroundings. Being an only child I feel I've always had a sense of identity and it reflects in my music. I grew up in the hood not knowing my father, seeing violence, drugs, murders and through it all I've come out smiling. I realized life is what I make it, I'm just a guy with a wise mind and I try to express that through music. Songs like 'You Got Boy'd', 'Spirit Hold', and 'Human' all have strong messages but I deliver it in a manner that any person can relate to. All this makes sense as to why I called my album 'Spread Love Not War', a fitting title that shows progression. I can't wait for the world to hear it.”
