About this user
Klumzy Tung is known for producing a mix of non-conventional freestyle, songwriting and live performance which has taken him all over the UK and Europe.
Although mainly regarded as a Hip Hop artist, Klumzy has spent the last 10 years experimenting with many different styles and genres. Starting out as a UK Garage MC, he went on to flirt with Drum n Bass, random comedic songwriting as one half of 'The GobFathers' alongside Beardyman, learned to play guitar and most recently penned and composed his forthcoming, acoustic debut solo album 'Happy Accidents'.
His eclectic style has made it near impossible to pigeonhole him as an artist and his success can be attributed to the combination of his (humble) unique humour and commentary on his socio-economic surroundings.
He has gained a worldwide cult following for such classics as 'Little England' alongside Beardyman. The single 'Headscrews' with Mr.Dero featured in Bafta award winning TV show 'Skins'. And he also starred in E4's hidden camera series 'Web Heroes', posing as a spoof beatbox and freestyle traffic warden.
Klumzy co-runs independent label 'Tiefparterre' beside Mr.Dero; which in 2009 released 'The Little Things EP by Mr.Dero & Klumzy Tung' featuring musical friends Farina Miss, Beardyman, DJ Vadim, JFB, Jstar and Amtrak. The release went on to top the Junodownload.com HipHop bestseller chart, as well as charting in the Top 30 of UK, Ireland & Spain's iTunes 'Hip Hop & Rap Chart'.
His live show; either solo, as DJ/MC duo with Mr.Dero or part of live band 'Stevies Wonder Glasses' is full of energy and enthusiasm. He has a passion for putting on a positive, uplifting and unforgettable show.
2009 saw the invention of the 'Klumzy Word Generator': Controlled by a Wii remote, it is the ultimate crowd participation freestyle tool, allowing Klumzy to incorporate audience suggested words into freestyle songs via an on stage projection screen.
Ever the experimenter, Klumzy also prides himself on creating quality and creative music videos.
In 2009 and 2010 he performed at the 'E4 Udderbelly Comedy Festival' on the South Bank, Bristol Old Vic Theatre and at Edinburgh Comedy Festival as part of audience suggested comedy freestyle shows, sharing the stage with Beardyman, Stig of the Dump, Dr Syntax, Dizraeli, Leen, DJ JFB & Mr.Hopkinson.
Other highlights include becoming the first MC to freestyle in The House of Commons. Co-Presenting 'The Freestyle Show' on Sky TV. Co-hosting 'Hosted by' on Austrian music TV channel 'GOTV'. He has freestyled on numerous radio stations including Kerrang Radio, Absolute Radio and FM4 (Austria). Performing at Beach Break Live 2011 (Wales), Carnival Party (Croatia), Spring 11, Four Elements Hip Hop Fest, Afterstash & Red Bull Brandwaggon (all in Austria) as well as becoming resident at ButterBar (Graz) & Battlejam (Brighton & London).
With shows already confirmed in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and UK we are looking forward to adding many more dates to the 'Happy Accidents Tour'.
