Although this article does make sufficient claim of notability to get past speedy, it's not really a compelling claim of notability -- or a properly sourced one, either, relying entirely on primary sources with no evidence provided of proper coverage in music media at all. Furthermore, it's dancing right on the edge of being an outright advertisement rather than an encyclopedia article, with extensive use of promotional marketing language ("combined all the styles and skill gathered in both the hip hop and rock worlds", etc.) As always, I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if somebody can Heymann it up to a properly keepable standard, but under current Wikipedia standards it has to be deleted if it stays looking like it does right now.

Delete - I checked into the claims made in the article. While social networks and even blogs can help determine the importance of a subject, they can only be used to add support to reputable sources. They by themselves cannot determine notability. I found nothing indicating this musical artist was involved with any of the other artists mentioned. Searching with Google also provides nothing useful. Unless good sources proving notabilitiy can be found, this article should not be in Wikipedia. If in the future this artist expands his experience and there is notability, then by all means a new article should be written. Bill Pollard (talk) 12:30, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - I can find mentions of him in event listings and articles about concerts/festivals but there is no significant coverage about him. -- Whpq (talk) 14:06, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
