JC001 linguistic agility and stylistic variety have over the years led him to collaborate with the most diverse musicians. Hip-hop, reggae, classical Indian music, R&B and jazz: JC's unique style of rapping, his lyrics, his way of beat boxing, and above all the ability to fascinate his audience, make him a performance poet who defies comparison.

Since 1998 Shri and Badmarsh have been leading producers in the UK Asian-Underground scene. As a duo, they've released two albums on the Outcaste label and have toured internationally. Badmarsh & Shri crafted a deceptively relaxed, open and confident sound in tracks that have gone on to provide high quality background soundscapes for various worldwide advertising campaigns. Now, both Shri and Badmarsh are in the process of finishing individual albums which are to be released in 2005.
