Who is Uncle Doughboy?
Uncle Doughboy is a music producer/singer/rapper. He was raised in the musically rich Bay Area and started writing and producing his own songs in the seventh grade. By high school, he had created his own rap collective called "The Criminal Click". He was named Doughboy by friends. He sold demo cassette tapes to his classmates for $5 each. He also threw parties at large halls and would feature himself performing as well as other local rappers. Doughboy also produced tracks for local talent and would often record a verse as a guest on other artists projects.
Doughboy picked up the guitar in his twenties and started himself on his quest for a new sound. This is also when he decided to add "Uncle" to his name in order to denote the difference between his older and newer sound. He is often compared to other artists that have a familiar smoothness with a hip-hop undertone, and has been said to carry the qualities of Sublime, and even the great MJ. Uncle Doughboy calls his music "Feel Good Music".
He has worked with Grammy winning engineers such as Michael Starita (Laura Sullivan) and Howie Weinberg (Gorillaz). He has worked in some of the most famous studios in the World such as the legendary Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, as well as the super in-demand Bernie Grundman Mastering studios in Hollywood where he worked with one of the biggest names in music production, Brian "Big Bass" Gardner (Dr. Dre, Eminem, Linkin Park).
In early 2013 Uncle Doughboy released his freshman project, "The Uncle Doughboy EP", featuring seven original songs including the highly acclaimed "C'est si Bon". The project was recorded at 4th Street Studios in Santa Monica over three days and was engineered by Sejo Navajas.
In late 2013, Uncle Doughboy returned to the studio with a much more ambitious sound. The sessions resulted in the "4Trax" promo EP and include such songs as "Baby, You Can Dance" and "My Way (C'est si Bon remix)". Uncle Doughboy is in the process of working on a full length release that will include the songs from "4Trax" as well as many more songs that are sure to be hits.
