UK Hip-Hop artist  Monie Love was on a rare visit performing in London. She is someone I greatly appreciated growing up and could not resist the opportunity to present her with a vinyl art painting to honour her contribution to Hip-Hop. #monielove #hiphop #vinyart #vinyl #artvinyl #theartfulfro #artmeetsmusic

So random but what a pleasure to bump into pianist and producer Robert Glasper at Rotterdam airport after his performance at the North Sea Jazz Festival.  He mentioned how much he was a fan of Michael Jackson's album 'Off The Wall', so I created this piece for him.​ #robertglasper #soulmusic #jazz #northseajazzfestival #michaeljackson #vinylart #artvinyl #theartfulfro

The talented Hip-Hop producer/ artist and DJ Lord Finesse, is someone I have huge admiration for and have been a fan of his music since the 90's.  I painted two pieces for him.  The first was a commissioned portrait on his single 'Party Over Here'.  The second was on The Notorious B.I.G album 'Ready to Die’, on which Finesse produced the track 'Suicidal Thoughts'. #art #theartfulfro #biggiesmalls #notoriousbig #hiphop #vinylart #lordfinesse #vinylart #artvinyl

On a London stop off whilst on tour I had the great pleasure to meet the world-renowned DJ and co-star of the iconic series ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ DJ Jazzy Jeff.  I presented him with a unique vinyl art piece on his 'The Magnificent’, which really is as the title suggests. #hiphop #djjazzyjeff #vinylart #artvinyl #art #hiphop

I am a huge fan of the adorable DJ Prince.  He has been DJing from such a young age and is already a recognised professional of his craft.  So when he asked to be featured on a vinyl art piece with one of his favourite rappers Big Daddy Kane how could I refuse? #theartfulfro #art #djprince #vinylart #artvinyl #dj #vinyl

In the run up to my 'Different Strokes' exhibition I was invited for an interview with Mr. Dex on his Itch FM show 'The DeX Files', to talk about all things art and music.  I love his show, so I presented him with a vinyl art painting of one of his favourite rapper's Ghostface Killah on his debut album 'Ironman' to say thank you for his support. #theartfulfro #art #artvinyl #vinyl #ghostfacekillah #mrdex #watchoutnow

American actor and R&B singer Tyrese Gibson was introduced to my artwork via Instagram. Not only has he been very supportive of my work he purchased several pieces for which I am truly grateful. #tyresegibson #theartfulfro #vinylart #artvinyl #rnb #artmeetsmusic

Truly an honour to have met and one of my favourite Hip-Hop duos Pete Rock & CL Smooth after their performance at London’s Jazz Cafe. I created a personal piece on their classic single 'T.R.O.Y' which they kindly signed for me. Having previously met Pete, he spoke of his admiration for James Brown, whom he met as a kid. So I presented him with a vinyl art piece on his favourite James LP 'Reality'. #theartfulfro #art #vinylart #artvinyl #peterock #clsmooth #vinyl

Emmy Award Winning actor Keith David was in town for the London Film and Movie Comic Con. Being a fan of his of course I wanted to presented him with a painting and choose Nat 'King' Cole on the album 'Unforgettable' as Keith is a huge fan of his. #keithdavid #comiccon #natkingcole #artvinyl #vinylart

This pic was taken at the Stevie Wonder tribute event 'WONDER-Full' hosted by the brilliant DJ Spinna.  I know he is a huge Stevie fan so it was great to know one of my paintings was going to a good home. #theartfulfro #djspinna #steviewonder #vinylart #artvinyl #artmeetsmusic
