Artist Biography
by MacKenzie Wilson
Scapegoat Wax
is the brainchild of artist Marty James, and he's been making a name
for himself since his studying days at Chico State University. He
initially began making music in his early teens and wrote his first song
at age 13. By 16, he was slicing and dicing on his own technics,
programming drum beats, and sequencing dubs. Luxurious (1999) marked
Scapegoat Wax's serious move into recording, and such hard work paid off.
Beastie Boy Mike D. took notice to the heavy hip-hop funkadelics of
Scapegoat Wax and signed him to Grand Royal.
Scapegoat Wax also focused on his voice, and the singer/songwriter side of Marty James became his signature.
Okeeblow
signified his quick rise and impressive urban electronic grooves in
summer 2001, but the record was sadly ignored due to the closing of
Grand Royal. Hollywood Records showed interest however, and James put
together Swax for a fall release the next year.
