We already know how urban music has expanded and broadened its barrier by mixing various cultures and genres together. Presently, the South Asian Industry is growing tremendously and has already crossed into the mainstream categories. Often, the most popular way of getting the ethnic touch in production, was to rip samples to create the beats and melodies, but what makes us unique, is our given background in such genres.
THE BILZ vision in production is to always create sounds that are one step ahead of the industry to maintain club and commercial record successes. The Duo consists of DJ VICIOUS and MASTER-D (a.k.a Subir Dev). They are two individuals who have gained a vast knowledge of the music industry in two different dimensions. Master Ds aspect comes from his knowledge of over 10 years of training in Indian classical music, ethnic variety and the fusion of urban music that gives an edge in the creation of an original composition without sampling in production. Through his production years, Master Ds creative composition featured in an independent feature film, entitled Passage to Ottawa which was produced and directed by Canadian film maker Gaurav Seth. This movie won 4 international awards since its release in early 2002. Furthermore, this inspired him to compose sound scores with world music influence.
DJ Vicious broad notion of how to handle both, the Mainstream and South Asian music industry with his immense list of industry contacts of both worlds, has given him recognition as DesiClub.com TOP 50 DESI(Indians), who have made a difference in North America. He shares rankings with Raj Bakhtra from NBCs The Apprentice & M. Knight Shamalayan (Director of The 6th Sense). DJ Vicious and Master D put Montreal Canada on the map after releasing their underground south Asian mixtapes series (Insomnia 1, 2 & 3) having unit sales of 800, 1200 & 7000 units respectively across Canada and 1000+ bootlegs across U.S independently!
DJ Vicious aspect comes from his knowledge of the urban music industry for over 8 years, from Deejaying and music promotions. He started off touring across North America promoting his mixtapes in various parts of Canada, U.S.A and recently his emergence in the U.K with THE BILZ imprint. He opened for MTVs Funkmaster Flex in Detroit, Jin the MC from Ruff Ryders, Punjabi MC in Chicago, Apache Indian in Toronto and Sean Paul's after party in Montreal.see less biography
