BIO

For Sugi Dakks, existing outside the norm is the norm. The left of center genre-bending Hip-Hop artist aims to embody all his quirks, idiosyncrasies, and mannerisms with a boldness and strength.

A mixed race (Japanese/African American) multi-instrumentalist/ rapper/singer/slam poet/producer/activist from a small town, Sugi Dakks is no stranger to being an outsider. His debut EP “Not All That Glitters is Gold” is an extension and enhancement of this message to find power in uniqueness.

To add to his artistry, Sugi Dakks has already made waves behind the scenes, producing releases with Grammy nominated Warner acts such as Wale and Chika and for commercial TV hit series such as “Power”, “Formula 1 Drive To Survive”, “Selling the OC”, “MTV Cribs”, “Love Hip-Hop, Atlanta”, “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, “Ru Paul’s Drag Race, and “The Kelly Clarkson Show”. And that is just the tip of the iceberg for one of Hip-Hop’s best kept secret and what people are calling the “Outkast for a new millennium”.
