San Francisco hip-hop artist, Infa Red, isn't singing the local artist blues. Instead, he's become a musical genie, doing everything in his power to ensure his unique and magnificent sound is heard. Although blending hip-hop and R&B isn't new to the industry, Infa Red puts a new twist and flavor to it. His fusion of the two genres leaves people feaning for more.
Infa Red and his mentor at the time, Rose, helped lead America through a "funky expedition" in 1993. Rose introduced him to rap artist, Paris. Paris wanted help on writing and producing songs for a group Paris put together called "The Conscious Daughters". Infa Red helped co-write and co-produce 5 songs on "The Conscious Daughters" debut album "Ear To The Street",which featured the number 1 hit single "Somethin' To Ride To" (Fonky Expedition). Later, that album ended up going GOLD! He had now made his mark on the music industry. Along the way, Infa Red has worked with a star-studded list, including George Clinton, Kurupt , and many others.
Infamous Entertainment, Pyramid Productions and Roulette Records, all owned by Infa Red, are where Infa Red can offer services to anyone from singers to rappers, other record companies, actors, models, or anyone needing either music/recording , pictures , graphical work , or what Infa Red likes to call "artist media presentational packages". Those three companies are also where Infa Red has been busy working on his current album "CAN'T MISS", which features Kurupt, The Conscious Daughters, and others. From laying out tracks to writing songs, Infa Red is his own one-man-band. Listening to "CAN'T MISS" is like looking at Infa Red's reflection in the mirror. The sound he provides is definitely something that's never been heard. He's certainly paving the path for the Bay Area in the music industry.
Infa Red is already causing a stir in the Bay Area. Strawberry's "Bumrush" radio show on KYLD Wild 94.9, is the number one-rated night show in Northern California and the Bay Area - and a great supporter of Infa Red. He was the most requested and played local artist on the Strawberry "Street Hop". One small taste of Infa Red is all it took to captivate the Bay Area. 106.1 KMEL has recently debuted one of Infa Red's other songs.
