BLUDSHOT, from Woodbridge, Virginia, is not your average hip hop artist. With influences ranging from the classics (Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, Al Green, The Beatles) to old school (Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Pharcyde, A Tribe Called Quest) to recent artists such as Snoop Dogg, Outkast, and Incubus, BLUDSHOT's eclectic taste in music is, perhaps, his biggest asset. His open mind, experimentation, creativity, and appreciation of talent (regardless of its presentation) are a few of the factors that set him apart from others. BLUDSHOT blends elements of hip hop, rock, latin, funk, and soul into his music, while keeping his roots fully entrenched in the classic hip hop that inspired him, creating what is desperately needed, something addictively different. In April of 2005, BLUDSHOT's highly anticipated album, "Another Day", was released in stores throughout the region, including FYE and Tower, as well as online through itunes, napster, rhapsody, amazon.com, bestbuy.com, tower.com and most other online retailers. The album is being distributed by RedEye Distribution (#1 distribution company in the U.S.A). A National Press and Publicity campaign through Rainmaker Publicity and a National College/Secondary Radio Campaign coincided with the release of the album. The amount of commitment and dedication that BLUDSHOT put into the album is more than evident in the final product. Each of the sixteen tracks offers something different, taking even the most skeptical listener on an infectious journey through the life and mind of BLUDHSOT. Several of the songs from “Another Day” are currently (a year and a half after the album’s release) still topping the charts of several online music sites and “Shake It” was chosen as one of the top ten songs, out of thousands, on Monstervox.com to be used on their podcast. BLUDSHOT has rapidly built a strong following throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Currently performing five to ten shows per month, the crowds continue to expand, allowing BLUDSHOT to consistently fill venues to capacity. BLUDSHOT has teamed up with DJ Jealousy from WPGC 95.5 (a Washington, DC radio station), which has further increased the popularity of both artists and resulted in amazing shows. With an always positive vibe and music that keeps fans on the dance floor until close of business, BLUDSHOT has never left a venue, or a fan, dissatisfied. With upcoming tours, a college radio/internet campaign, a video shoot for his new single, release parties and other special events, BLUDSHOT is ready, and more prepared than ever, to do big things on the national music scene in 2007. The possibilities are endless.
