Arho Sunny,人們稱呼他為A董. 1995年因為電視經常播著NBA和親人影響的關係之下無意中接觸到黑人音樂,於12歲開始沈醉於街頭文化,hip hop,和nu metal的音樂影響對其音樂風格影響深遠 在2001年,是Mr. T.A.K開始和Hip Hop正式扯上關係的一年,同年他與自小相識的小學同學Arho Sunny(a.k.a .A董)於網上發起尋找志同道合的朋友組成樂隊,經過兩個月的時間2002終於成軍,名為OS Family,隊員多達9位,組成後立即發表很多的音樂作品如’’跟flow’’等. 同年,也與拍當Arho sunny組成Too Monkey當時他們只有15歲,並且參與首張香港hip hop合輯’’協合戰紀’’’發表Too Monkey與OS family的多支單曲.也曾在網上因為曲風比較創新的關係引來網民爭議,雖然當時只是香港hip hop剛起步時段,但也令香港小數聽眾留下印象,如’’窮則戰’’,’’美女七俠’’等等,剛開始有很多的演出如’當年的’’Milk Farm’’,’’Action To da MP’’, 台灣大型音樂節’’野台開唱’’等等..於2003年因為人事變動OS Family解散…但也這也沒有令T.a.K停下來.
Mr T.A.K.與其拍擋 Arho Sunny所組成的組合Too monkey.,因工作與學業關係他們發表的作品並不多,但於2004發表以crunk hip hop為題的’’大杯檸樂’’再次引起網上聽眾好壞參半的討論,此曲也收錄在當時作個人發展的Arho Sunny 2005年’聽,寫,讀’’個人專輯內,同年Too Monkey與香港dj’’DJ Ngai’’組成一個短暫的hip hop組合, 但只發表過一首單曲便無疾而終,Too Monkey於2005年到北京’’糖果club’’作一次canton hip hop音樂上的交流反應熱烈, 也曾到TVB作音樂上演出. 之後,於2006-2007年再一次工作關係只發表了3首Mixtape作品,但以見其風格漸向成熟,再不是當年Too Monkey較為諷刺社會的作品,此時Too Monkey也作出一個決定就是’’暫時解散’’,原因是對香港hip hop此圈子心灰意冷,. 2008年Mr T.A.K.和Arho sunny經過多方面的音樂研究正式重組,於3個月內發表5首作品,並計劃於2008年夏天推出組成6年半以來第一張專輯!!
Starting his life in hiphop from 2000, Arho Sunny a.k.a. lil Pu, was only 14 and being a street graffiti artist.He, as many other underground graf writers, bombed the streets in the middle of the night with his paint and expressed what he want to tell everybody. He learned about the world of hiphop when he digged into it by exchanging ideas with international graf writers.His work can be seen on the back alley in Tsimshatsui and some other places in the New Territories such as the highway around the Chinese University area. 2 years later, he started to write lyrics and rap on beats.The more he dig into it, the more he find interesting.By installing some simple sequencing and beat software at his home PC, he started to make beats and record demos. He also names himself as “lil Pu” which created a funny story behind. With the help of internet, he liaises with other indie hiphoppers, underground MCs and djs. In early 2003, he formed a team called OS Allsta (formerly called OS Family) with 7 others underground MCs including Kz, MC Snake, Mizz Eva, Puzzi, Jay Ser, Sunmoon and Mr. T.a.K. and toured to Taiwan for 2 shows. After these shows OS Family disbanded. Including Sunny, 4 of the members signed to Catalyst Action and will release solo album after the releasal of the compilation “Hip Hop Battle History”.Inside the compilation, some of the songs are written by Sunny and music/beats created by him as well. One of his own solo songs(石本砵記),was picked up by the first Mainland China hiphop label “Dragon Tongue Records” in Beijing and will be released in their debut compilation, distribute to all the china provinces legally. He was also invited to Beijing early this year for the launching party. 2004, he also wrote rap lyrics for the teenage idol duo “Boy'z” in their latest album. On the other hand, Sunny also developed his talent on other aspect of art including forming the art team “DingBing & Arho” with his partner in 2002 (he was only 16!!!) and entered the Phillppe Charriol foundation of that year with his sculpture. His work was also exhibited at the Fringe club in 2003 after the SARS and at the Hong Kong Art Biennial 2003 as well. Maybe most of the youngster know about Arho Sunny's Childart via his funny and notorious animations on his former website http://walk.to/childart (p.s. his new Childart website is under construction!) He also printed some graffiti artworks for other places such as movie, coffee shop...ect. Besides being solo as Arho Sunny, he formed another team called “Too Monkey” with Mr. T.a.K., also a young rapper. He described his own music is very young and energetic and he is inspired by lots of “dirty south” music.His works at Too Monkey is a collab with his old schoolmate and in a wider scope of his thinking about the youth. Also,Arho Sunny has a bunch of trial listening songs at his own website at : http://www.arho-sunny.com !!! |
