During the mid 90’s Doom Man begun writing his own lyrics and gained valuable experience and confidence with a ‘crew’ called ‘The Dungeoneers’. The dispersal of the crew within the year 2000, gave Doom Man the drive and ambition to work alongside his brother, Punisha, and create their own dynamic outlet; ’Da Marvel’. It was at this stage that recognition of their music became more apparent. Weekly slots on ‘Major FM’ and gigs throughout the UK increased the fan base and the reputation of Doom Man.
2004 brought a unique break for Doom Man as he was signed to the independent label ‘No Apologies’. The creation of the mixtape ‘Until That Day’ tested the water in the new venture and proved to be a fantastic success. The track ‘Celebrate Life’ was given air play on numerous radio stations and played in clubs across the UK. Further tracks created with ‘No Apologies’ found their own successes in various mediums including that of the computer game by Konami: ‘Crime Wars: Gang Life’ which features four of Doom Mans creations. The game, aimed at a young audience, gave a positive message and highlighted the dangers of gang culture which is increasingly relevant in today’s society and increasingly relevant in Doom Mans lyrics.
Now in 2008, Doom Man is concentrating on his personal growth and independence away from the No Apologies label. The experience and knowledge Doom Man has gained from his varying paths have given him a new lease of positivity and energy and a new vision to create inspirational, meaningful and relevant music. Working with some of the most admired and influential people from the ‘urban’ scene; Doom Man has created a great sea of encouragement, talent and influence around him. From the likes of Wookie (Soul II Soul), Howie B (U2, Bjork), Dean Tidey (Feeder, Sandstone Veterans), Kendra Ross (Talib Kwali) and Sweetie Irie (Roni Size, Ed Case & Gorillaz), to performing with the likes of Groove Armada and Milo in front of over 20’000 people at the ‘Lovebox Weekender’.
Doom has also recently formed a close partnership with MC Harvey, formerly of ‘So Solid’, and performs regularly alongside him at events across the UK and Europe. From this partnership a loyal fan base is beginning to emerge and Doom Man is thriving off the response his music is receiving. As we hit 2008 Doom Man is going from strength to strength and many more doors are yet to open. Doom Man has arrived!
