Beatmaker since 1994, 5kiem has been significantly influenced by artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock and Jay-Dee.
After an experience within a collective of artist resulting in 2 maxis (1998, 2000) and a compilation (2003), 5kiem has considerably opened up his style by exploring new directions/ musical styles and collaborating with several artists.
“Peter Pieces”, 5kiem’s last project is a vibrant tribute to the legendary New York producer Pete Rock, with as background a rethinking and a personal reinterpretation of PR’s Discography punctuated by accapellas and interviews from “soulbrotha#1”.
