D-SISIVE IS BACK!
d-sisive new album and EP release


After successful tours throughout Europe performing at Glastonbury, Leeds and Reading Festival, Australia’s Good Vibrations and Ireland’s Electric Picnic, d-sisive is back!


The wait for d-sisive’s new album, “The BOOK: Maybe One Day” with the first single “kneecaps” produced by: the arkeologists, due out May 27, 2008, has been eased by the new “Hijacked” series. Hijacking some of music’s most recognized songs, including Iggy Pop’s “Nightclubbing”, he hijacks each song with his trademark lyrics. The “hijacked” EP will has already garnered attention from media and fans of both hip hop and punk rock alike.


As a part of the Hijacked series, d-sisive “hijacked” Tom Waits’ track “Underground” renaming it “Ambulance”, The track fell into the hands of Tom Waits, who not only loved the hijacked version, but gave his “blessing” for d-sisive to release it.


d-sisive, from Toronto, Ontario, started his musical journey when he was barely old enough to drive.


Originally influenced by the sounds of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, d-sisive's musical influences evolved to include Cypress Hill, Funkdoobiest, Wu Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Tom Waits and The Beach Boys.


He drew from these inspirations to begin writing his own lyrics which lead to his first EP "J.A.C." which was released independently in 1998.


This lead to numerous collaborations including Mastermind, Len, Abs & Fase and Classified, but it was collaborating with DJ/Producer Serious on the song "Popped" that gave d-sisive world wide attention.


After receiving top 40 radio play, d-sisive set upon a Canadian Tour and returning to Toronto was named "Live Performer of The Year" by Fritz Le Chat of Vice Magazine fame, and was voted "best unsigned artist of 2002" by Now Magazine.


This attention turned into a period of self awareness for d-sisive which turned into a regrouping, reevaluation and renewal period.


Resurfacing in 2005, d-sisive teamed up with DJ Format to work together on two of the singles from the album, "If You Can't Join 'Em, Beat 'Em", which debuted at #1 on the UK Independent Music Charts and lead to a European Tour.


With the momentum of the tour d-sisive released "Yesterday.The Mixtape", a collection of early recordings and rare, unreleased material from 1995 to 2004.


Back in North America, d-sisive joined forces with Stu Stone and Jamie Kennedy co-writing and producing the internet sensation "Rolling With Saget", which involved a video featuring Bob Saget, John Stamos and George Lucas that was featured on the MTV series 'Blowin Up'.


d-sisive is now poised to release his new album “d-sisive. The B.O.O.K. Maybe One Day”, due out in May.
In the mean-time d-sisive is taking over the web with his “Hijacked” series.
