BIOGRAPHY

Beginning with breakdancing at age 6, Rapbaum progressed to DJing, poetry, and spoken word even before his teen years. Eventually landing himself a recording studio job, it is there he created his first project, "Color Spectrum" in 2012. This debut project hints at the music and production skills that would flower over the years, and that the New Orleans-based Musician, Producer, and DJ hones today. Ranging from pared-down R&B vocals to assertive lyrics rapped over sometimes funky, other times more soulful instrumentals, he has amassed over 1,000,000 streams across platforms. Influenced by Erykah Badu, J.Dilla, J.Cole, Mac Miller, and The Roots, to name just a few, he blends groovy self-production with melody-powered hooks and free-flowing lyrics. This unique sound has led him to share the stage with SuPreme of the WuTang Clan, Devin The Dude, Pharcyde, and more! As a DJ he blends a style of hip-hop, funk, soul, RnB, along with new-age remixes to match the energy of whatever venue he is in. He's Dj'd multi-city tour with Portculture as a headline artist, and performs at the "House of the Blues'' and the "The Howlin Wolf" in New Orleans regularly. With a near-constant flow of collaborative output with other emerging talents, Rapbaum's music is authentic, reflective of the places he goes and the people he meets.

 

When he's not performing at shows, Rapbaum travels from city to city, making music on his yellow school bus turned music studio, another project he brought to life. He has received nods from genre-leading publications, powered by a loyal and growing following headed for mass appeal. He has dedicated himself to mastering songwriting, lyrics, production, recording, and mixing. In 2015, he co-founded his recording studio, Soul Sonix, creating a collective of like-minded rappers, singers, and innovators to enrich each other's art. Always challenging himself, he has uploaded a new instrumental every day for over 2,460 days and counting. In 2024 he was accepted into the Guinness Book Of World Records for this feat. To some, this may seem like an ambitious feat, but for Rapbaum, this is just another exercise to stimulate his ceaselessly creative mind.
