As a founding member & producer of Orlando-based Hip Hop group, Solillaquists of Sound, DiViNCi first gained notoriety by using multiple MPCs (drum machines) in ways the world had never seen before. The virtuosity in his frenetic performances & popular YouTube clips set inspiring precedents for the now popular “Controllerism” scene. DiViNCi is revered by music fans, aspiring electronic performers & veteran musicians alike. His work, both on & off the stage, caught the attention of GRAMMY Award-winning icon Ms. Lauryn Hill, who tapped DiViNCi to join her band & studio team.
In addition to his work with Ms. Hill, his versatility as a producer & performer have allowed him to collaborate seamlessly with artists from all across the musical spectrum. Sage Frances, EL-P (Run The Jewels), Kool Keith, MF Doom, Doug Wimbish (Living Colour), Darryl Jennifer (Bad Brains), Michael Franti & Spearhead and Zap Mama are a few of the artists that DiViNCi has worked with.
