Sivion is an emcee gifted with a conversational style, which musically fuses jazz and funk to touch the
lives of those who cross paths with the art that he’s been called and blessed to create. With ties to
Gaithersburg, MD he currently resides in Dallas, TX and has been a staple in the DFW Hip Hop scene
since the mid 90’s. Teaming up with his brother, Wushu, he was one half of a group called the Phat
KATS and one quarter of the crew Lost Step. In the early 2000’s, he joined forces with the super crew,
Deepspace5, and transitioned into his career as a solo artist.
His venture to develop his own solo identity spearheaded the writing and production that would
eventually blossom into his first solo album entitled “Mood Enhancement” (released by Illect
Recordings). The album earned him “New Artist of the Year” in the Sphere of Hip Hop Awards for 2005.
Just a year later, Sivion teamed up with Braille (who is a current member of Beautiful Eulogy who owned
the label Hip Hop IS Music at the time) and released his follow up LP entitled “Spring Of The Songbird”.
This album helped gain him exposure globally, which resulted in collaborations with artists from
countries such as France, Japan, Germany, Kenya, England, etc. The record did well and helped to
continue his aim to reach the world with the message of Jesus Christ and to show God’s effect on his life
through musical expression.
In 2010 Sivion partnered again with Illect Recordings and released an EP entitled “Butterfly Sessions”.
This project featured production solely from Los Angeles beat-smith, Dert (of Tunnel Rats fame and also
known for producing KRS-One’s “Life” album). The effort earned Best EP and Best Cover Art in the
Sphere of Hip Hop Awards (with a controversial take on one of the most famed images from the movie,
“Silence of the Lambs”).
And after a few years of hard work in the lab, 2013 ushered in Sivion’s 3 rd full length LP entitled “Group
Therapy”, which was again released on Illect Recordings, the label that has become like family to his
artistry and message for nearly a decade. With a message of UNITY, this album features a host of
emcees, producers, and DJs that represent the elite of the Christian underground along with some hand-
picked additions from the secular and Christian mainstream (i.e. The ARE, Symbolic One, M Slago,
PICNICTIME, “Tha Kracken!” etc.) in order to bridge the gap to impact more lives for God’s glory.
So keep your eyes on this very-gifted, veteran emcee and musician, as he further establishes himself as a
positive force in this often negatively perceived
