Damon Locks

Damon Locks is a Chicago based vocalist, composer with an eclectic taste in music and a strong experimental, avant-garde impulse. His music does not fit into any given genre label, freely borrowing from Afro-futurism, jazz, Caribbean sounds, gospel, soul, rock, and hip-hop and molding them into a collage of experiences, using electronic music as the connective tissue between them. He is fairly partial to spoken word performances in his solo work, as well as found audio, whether in the form of a conversational snippet or quick excerpts from a radio broadcast, Locks has mastery over sonic scene-building by combining multiple threads in ways that give his words broader resonance.
