BIOGRAPHY

Take some elements of rock and blues, throw in some pop vibes, mix in a few orchestral sounds, with a generous helping of catchy melodies and rhythmic beats, put it all together as a completed musical structure; likened to the sound of Hilltop Hoods and Bliss n Eso, and you end up with a finished product that is 10-4.

With four studio singles already released, 10-4 has garnered a lot of positive feedback from the general public. That being said, his next project, "Orchestrate"; a five track EP which encompasses all of the elements above, coupled with his quirky sense of humour and positive attitude, is set to be a crowd pleaser when it is released in mid October this year and is already gaining a lot of anticipation from the public.

"Man this is sick, your flow is so good, and its that classic Aussie hiphop sound" 

Just some of the feedback gained from a recent "teaser" that 10-4 uploaded for his fans.

10-4 hasn’t had the best of everything, and had to struggle through alot throughout his childhood and early adult years. Music is the one thing that he always turned to in times of struggle, it is what kept him hopeful.

Having played in concert bands, country and blues bands, and even playing in his own 3 piece cover band with some friends through his teenage years, 10-4 has managed to learn a variety of different instruments, including the saxophone, trumpet, tuba, piano and keyboard, just to name a few.

A self taught guitarist at 17 years old and still learning now, he knew what his purpose was and has strived to achieve it at any point he could.

Being introduced to the nightclub scene at 18 as a DJ, 10-4 found a whole different way to express his musical creativity. Having performed on a regular basis at three of Wagga's most prominent venues (The Victoria Hotel, Romano's, The jungle Duke Hotel-Formerly The Duke Hotel) as their Resident DJ, 10-4 had found his calling as a performer, adopting the alias "Spinmaster G" and supporting major artists as they toured through town, 10-4 has had the opportunity to rub shoulders with Peking Duk and Havana Brown to name a couple.

Unbeknownst to him, 10-4 was on a path that would ultimately take everything he had learned and every artist who inspires him to a different level again, delving into the hop-hop scene as an MC.

Having worked with Z.A.Z as rap duo "Theory Of Natural Selection", and alongside Local Legend RahjConkas (Ryan Jordan), who helped provide valuable insight into the industry and music production, 10-4 knew how he wanted to express himself through music.

After performing at a battle of the bands event in Sydney and in front of small crowds locally, he had the pleasure of performing on the same lineup as Mind Over Matter, Johnny Utah, Coptic Soldier, and Rahjconkas at a local laneway event in Wagga, which drew a good crowd.

This further fuelled his drive to become the artist we know today as 10-4. The last ten years has seen 10-4 perfecting his sound to what we hear today.

With long terms goals ahead, 10-4 is bound to shake up the Australian hip-hop scene.

His Debut EP "Orchestrate" is reflective of this, providing a mix of high energy, comedic and catchy songs, which tells a short story of his life thus far.

Due for release in mid October 2023, this is an album you should be sure not to miss!

10-4 finds inspiration all around him: from the serene beauty of our natural environment,to everyday life and its happenings.

From sights and sounds,to interactions and observations,10-4 creates music representative of this.
