Elephant Phinix was born in 1986 in Sunderland UK, city of the black cats, he moved to Greece at an early age. Always was a music lover, but the attraction towards the microphone and rapping started from just freestylin over beats and makin tracks with friends, like DJ Noaone, at the age of 18. ’Athens Burns‘ was the beginning for him and the graffiti crew it represented and that helped him think out of the box and see rappin from a more serious perspective and give more attention to the lyrics.

Along with a group of friends they released an album called ‘Psyclowns’ in 2006 and in 2008 with the same group of artists an album called ‘Fulleffekt-take As Needed’ in 2009. He met Blend and their passion for sticky green poetry had the conclusion of 4 tracks on Blend's ‘Sudden Death.’ One of the tracks from the album ‘Press Forward‘ is also released featuring remixes from producers such as Bnc, Palov, Ekelon, Bq & Jmelik, turntable dubbers and more. In the past years he opened for groups and artists such as Jeru the Damaja, Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Diamond D, 2mex of LA s legendary Project Blowed crew, B Real of Cypress Hill & Psycho Realm and Birdy Num Num.

Elephant Phinix released the EP Patience Is Gold in April of 2012. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
