DJ Bless

Robert F. Evans (born), better known by his stage name DJ Bless is American rapper/producer/director from South Jamaica, Queens New York. His production goes from traditional east coast based hip-hop to a style he refers to as “Ghetto Metal.”

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Early Life

Born Robert Evans, DJ Bless grew up in Rochdale Village, a housing development in South Jamaica, Queens. With the introduction of crack cocaine into the already gang ridden community, options were very limited for younger members of the area. DJ Bless pursued music and his initial goal was to become a battle DJ. DJ Bless eventually left New York City and moved with his parents to the Carolinas where the multi-platinum producer used this time to refine his skills.

Career

During his senior year of high school, Bless began to record music at a frenetic pace. DJ Bless devised a plan and put it into action to gain a distribution deal. Within a year, DJ Bless landed his first recording/distribution deal with MCA Records.Never So Deep Record’s music venture with MCA was caught in a turbulent era for the major label. In 2003 Jay Boburg resigned from his position as the president of MCA and shortly afterwards MCA Records folded and then was absorbed into Geffen Records. With that, Never So Deep Records was absorbed by Geffen Records. Unfortunately, Geffen Records wasn’t the best fit for Never So Deep Records. DJ Bless parted ways with the label. DJ Bless took immediate control of Never So Deep Records and continued to move forward with his own record company, while the majority of the artists and labels affiliated with MCA floundered.

DJ Bless restructure his business approach, he also replaced his entire team and he took control over all aspects of Never So Deep Records including music/video production, marketing, promotions, and distribution. Realizing that technology could play a major role in positioning his company, Never So Deep Records took advantage of online distribution and social networking.

Style

DJ Bless’s style varies from traditional east coast hip-hop to the more menacing Post-Hardcore influenced styled called “Ghetto Metal.” Ghetto Metal is also the vehicle for DJ Bless's alter ego, Sutter Kain. Sutter Kain is the alter ego of DJ Bless. In contrast to DJ Bless, Sutter Kain's lyrical focus is taboo subjects such as torture, murder and gore. Unlike, the more mainstream production work of DJ Bless, Sutter Kain uses samples from post-hardcore, metalcore and mathcore bands.
