WHISPER - Stand Up




Whisper is the triple threat. He’s an experienced emcee and producer, plus, the boy can sing! Whisper has been steadily producing beats for over 7 years and rapping for over 10, but he has only just begun to unleash his melodic vocal stylings, at the insistence of those who have worked with him.



In 2005, hip-hop crew Equills, consisting of Whisper, and his partners in crime, Mantra and DJ Wax Vandal, released an LP ‘The New Threat’ to wide critical acclaim. ‘The New Threat’ shows Whisper’s talent as, not only an emcee, but as a producer, with a large proportion of the beats being Whisper productions. Equills played at numerous festivals, such as, Livid and Kiss My Grass, and shared the stage with artists such Looptroop, Hilltop Hoods, Bliss N Eso and The Roots. Following the success of ‘The New Threat’, Whisper was inspired to pursue other creative projects - and to complete a degree in design - but has not ruled out a future Equills album.

His production can be found throughout the Australian hip-hop scene, as he has worked with the likes of Skyzoo (USA), M-Phazes, Pegz, Count Bounce (TZU),13th Son, to name only a handful!

Whilst he does have his roots in the urban music scene, his production work has extended throughout genres of music not usually equated to a hip-hop producer, such as soul, folk and pop, with artists such as Amiel, and Nomi (Hercules and Love Affair).

In between producing, writing and recording for other talented musicians, Whisper has been on his grind putting together a free album, In Good Company, which is due for release in early 2010. This album will feature a plethora of established and up-and-coming emcees, vocalists and producers.

As a preview of things to come, Whisper has released a video clip of ‘Stand Up’, the first single off his upcoming album. With production by M-Phazes and vocals by Lee Sissing, this anthem is sure to get people on their feet!

After four years of heating things up in the studio, Whisper is ready to step back on to the main stage and get crowd screaming!
