Dunlap Studios Sponsored Artists.

For those who know me know that I am madly in love with music. Anything from metal to folk to hip hop, I love every style. And, because of my experience in many many music projects that never went anywhere, I have a huge heart for independent artists.
When I recently started Dunlap Studios I decided that I wanted to focus the majority of my attention on underground/independent music. There is a huge market in Arizona alone, it seems that everyone is now picking up a guitar and taking a stab at it. Because of this overflow of artists, it seems that the true talented artists aren't being taken seriously, or never get the chance of being heard. That is why I decided to create the "Dunlap Studios Sponsored Artists".

I right now have two signed artists:

Foreknown is an incredible hip hop artist, who (in my opinion) stands apart from the typical hip hop crowd. His lyrics are not only glorifying to God, but they're incredible. I know from experience (one of the many projects that never went anywhere) that Foreknown takes his writing very seriously. Every line has a purpose, and every song in it's entirety is a masterpiece.
Whether it's "Theories of Relativity" where he raps about the trials and issues involved with being a Christian in todays world. Or "Nakamura" where he raps about the trials and issues of having super powers in todays world. All of the songs he's released so far are all equally impressive, and I'm proud to say that I not only do artwork for him, but have the privilege of knowing him.

The second sponsored artist is I Hope You Suffer. I Hope You Suffer is an instrumental band that consists of only one member, Joseph Munoz. Joseph is extremely talented, and his style not only stands out from local Arizona acts, but instrumental groups all together. His music has a simplistic feel, that also conveys a sense of passion and emotion (which is hard to do without a vocalist). I am really happy to not only be doing the art for Joseph, but loving the art that I'm doing. We have similar tastes in art, so I've been having fun with everything that I've created for him.

I hope you check out these artists, because they deserve it. If you are an musician that wants to be sponsored or know someone who is, fill out the sponsored artist application. I'd love to hear what you have going.
