If you dont have this in heavy rotation in your CD player, youre missing out.
Opening for PTQ is hip-hop sensation Colin Loch.
Colin Loch is a self-taught hip hop recording artist who pens all of his own lyrics, mostly on his cell phone. He likes to call himself an actionable poet, a term he coined to describe his art. He is currently mastering his first project which will be called Home is Where the Art Is.
Colin was born in Scotland, has lived all over the United States and Egypt. Today, he calls Vashon Island his home and has lived there on and off for 22 years.
Among the artists that influence his music are Eminem, Jay Z, Lauren Hill, Logic and Atmosphere. But it was Colins older cousins that first introduced him to rap music. Later, his friend Beau gave him a copy of Eminems album The Slim Shady, and he was hooked. Many of Colins lyrics draw on his past experiences struggling with (and overcoming) addiction. With this new-found clarity has come a new set of obstacles that he navigates which inspire his music today.
You can hear lyrics about Colins time working in the restaurants and bars - - which is how he pays for his music habit. Not only is he a great lyricist, Colin is a skilled cook and bartender.
Next up: look for his first music videos for Bartender and Kitchen Life, to be shot on Vashon Island in the next few months!
My addiction to this music
Beat the ones I had for using
And the beats you hear me using
Keep me from the streets of
Losing this momentum heaven sent me
Wont forget it cause you let me
Find the person hiding
Deep inside of me
It was a blessing. - C.L.
The show starts at 8:30 p.m. at Red Bicycle Bistro. Its an all-ages show until 11 p.m., and for ages 21 and older after that. I.D. is required. There is a $8 cover charge.
