Ladies First...
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

Robert Glasper is 'Off The Wall'
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

Lord Finesse is certainly Hip to the Game...
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

The Fresh (DJ) Prince
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

TY & Chips
One of the UK's finest Hip-Hop artists, Brixton's very own 'Ty'. This picture was taken after an incredible high energy performance at Chip Shop Brixton hosted by Itch FM. I took the opportunity to present him with a vinyl art piece painted on his album 'A Special Kind of Fool'. #theartfulfro #vinylart #artviny #ty

Rocking the airways with UK's finest Mr. Dex..
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

Pete Rock and CL Smooth
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

DJ Spinna
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

Stepping Up with DJ Montay...
I had a chance to meet Grammy Award nominated American DJ/ Producer and Songwriter Montay whilst on the set of a video shoot with T- Pain. He has worked with artists such as Flo -Rida, T- Pain, Akon and Ne-Yo . As well as work featured on movies such as Step Up 3D, Stomp The Yard and Norbit. I produced a canvas painting for him from images that he and I had taken during his London show. #theartfulfro #djmontay #hiphop #producer #artmeetsmusic

Heart to Hart with Kevin...
American actor and comedian Kevin Hart visited the UK on his 'Hartbeat Weekend' tour. I met him at the after party organised by Stylish Nights and presented him with a painting featuring him alongside one of his icons, comedian Richard Pryor. One of my favourite meets : ) #kevinhart #richardpryor #comedy #art #theartfulfro
