  • Superblack Records

    In 2017, I rebranded DB!SPA Records as Superblack Records, inspired by my profound admiration for the Zimbabwean artist Dumi Maraire. My transformative experience happened in 2016 when I had the privilege of performing his original compositions in a marimba band. This is when I created the Boom Jungle Wood moniker.

    Superblack Records has evolved from a Diaspora dance label, predominantly focused on funky house music, into a distinguished Afro Gospel and Christian/Hip Hop label. I find this evolution unsurprising.  

  • 1999/DB!SPA Records

    In 1999 I started my first and only record label, DB!SPA Records in Seattle, Washington.  I’ve previously credited Shocklin Lewis Jr. and Christopher J. White as co-founders of this pro-black, alternative, non-secular dance label.  I was the party (out of the three) motivated by positive, child-friendly, “spiritual” music. Hopefully I have demonstrated this preference thus far.

    I’ve used many monikers over the years including Boomslang, The Anti-Sex, Saint Blade, Fearless Leader, Monster, NMNI Rath and today some call me Superblack (SB).  I’m flattered.

    Leaving L.A.  (2001)  Saint Blade Band

    In 2017, I changed the name of DB!SPA Records to Superblack Records.  I’ll talk about Superblack Records when we get through the 2000s.

    The Boss DR-5 was my crutch between 1999-2010. I would buy one today but I guess I won’t. Boss DR- 5, Fostex -26, Yamaha PSR-170, Casio SK-1 and a Radio Shack microphone. Use this recipe to make up a new sound, from the past.
