dEUCIE: qUEEN OF THE UNDAGRIND
Born and bred in the Metro Detroit area, F. Dux was captivated with the hip hop music scene; mainly gangster rap. At age 11, he embraced this poetic movement of power and freedom as he traveled down the path of adolescence. Forging down roads filled with negativity, struggle and murder, F. Dux decided to speak his mind. The murder of Joseph Gill De’Angelis (Joey D), led the young man to write about his life - filling those blank white pages with powerful ink. Those snapshots, along with the help of self-produced music scores, translated into into the sound known as F. Dux. Since establishing himself with the other aspiring artists of SuperNova Camp in Charlotte, Dux looks forward to a continued opportunity to share with the world his understanding, experience, and passion.

When the opportunity arose to relocate and work with SuperNova, Overflow did not hesitate. He began networking in Charlotte, and a year and a half later, in the summer of 2002, he produced and recorded his first full length album in collaboration with Shannon Wright (Debonair, The Wright Family). Overflow has landed singles on 2 independent film soundtracks, and has launched his own website, www.overflowproductions.com.

Overflow knows no boundaries - this hustler has triumphed - using his drive and talent to make great things happen.
Marioso started his musical journey like many other southern R & B artists - singing in the church choir.
