PIGEON JOHN
PIGEON JOHN
Pigeon John hails from sunny Southern California, Inglewood to be exact. It's easy to assume his signature blend of wit, charisma and undeniable stage presence is a fortunate gift (and it is), but let's be real. Everyone starts somewhere. Pigeon John cut his teeth in the early 90s at the legendary Good Life Cafe, spitting rhymes on the same stage with then fledgling, now established artists like Freestyle Fellowship, Kurupt, The Pharcyde and Jurassic 5. Good Life open-mic nights became PJ's ritual. It was the perfect environment to hone his performance and delivery skills amongst discerning peers.
Time at the Good Life gave way to time spent at local venues and in the studio with friends like Brainwash Projects and LA Symphony. His appearances on the underground classics, The Rise and Fall of Brainwash Project and Composition 1 from Brainwash Projects and LA Symphony, respectively, put him on the radar as one to watch.
In 2002, Pigeon John released his solo debut Pigeon John Is Clueless, selling over 11,000 copies with no distribution. He followed up with Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister and Pigeon John Sings The Blues. The albums garnered significant praise landing him features in Spin's "Next Big Things" issue, URB's "Next 100" and Mic Check in The Source. PJ's infectious tunes have been used by XBOX for the games "Project Gotham" and "NBA Inside Drive 2002," as well as the major motion picture "Get Over It." John has also performed and appeared in print and television ads for both Levi's and Nestle Crunch.
Touring the nation 8 times over, Pigeon John has earned his veteran status, using a clever balance of self-deprecating humor and confidence to rock any crowd, any stage. His boundless energy seduces crowds making ladies swoon and fellas embrace their geek appeal.
Enamored by PJ's infectious energy and raw talent exhibited on the Cali Comm tour, Lyrics Born brought Pigeon John into the Quannum fold in 2005. His Quannum Projects debut Pigeon John And The Summertime Pool Party hit stores September 12, 2006. Self-produced with the aid of General Electriks' Herve Salters, Pigeon John's second album for Quannum - Dragon Slayer - releases in physical and digital retail on October 12, 2010.

DARK TIME SUNSHINE
The duo met a couple of years ago in Portland, OR at a professional DART competition where Zavala was crowned victor & won a life-time supply of Tap Out attire (but that's neither here nor there) - although it's still a proud moment in D.T.S history. Both interested in Hip Hop,Punk ,Electronics, & Lady Ga Ga .. the 2 started to formulate a genre of music some call snob rap ,dark pop , & or theatrical lazor blur under the moniker DARK TIME SUNSHINE. Look at this group & their music as Hip-Hop Dinge for the confident & self-esteemed human... Enjoy!
