DOWN BLACK DOJO
Jacques Morency and Mathew Baker, collectively known as Down Black Dojo, are a dynamic duo coming from diverse backgrounds. Jacques originally from Haiti and Mathew from Connecticut. Their journey into music was sparked by individual inspirations. Jacques, driven by a desire for creativity, found his passion with beat-making through FL Studios during his high school days. His sound draws from a myriad of influences, ranging from konpa to hip hop and gains other influences through various art forms. While Mathew's love for music started with rap legends like Biggie Smalls and Nas. Mathew started off with poetry and it transitioned into him writing music and performing. He also drew inspiration from soulful R&B melodies and old-school vibes.
They don’t like to classify their music into any type of genre but describe their sound as unique, thought-provoking and captivating. Their latest track, "Shots in the Moonlight" narrates a tale of love and ambition, showcasing their prowess as both producers and lyricists. Their biggest challenge as artists is balancing their day jobs, but with their determination to turn their creative aspirations into reality make it to keep going. Looking ahead, Down Black Dojo is gearing up for the release of their second EP titled "Park City", slated for this spring.
