Read the Gibbee the Visionary. Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Gibbee the Visionary; a producer, vocalist, song-writer & engineer from Auckland, New Zealand.
Hard to define genre-wise, however mostly hip-hop, rap & rnb inspired amongst a NUWAV movement.
Gibbee is part of a small independent label called NUWAVEntertainment (also based in Auckland, NZ).
So far to date there has been many single, EP & LP releases (available below);

Stay tuned for more live performances, videos & new music.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Initially rap-wise Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony were a major influence around the age of 16.
Also a lot of 90's New York "Boom-bap" in the early stages.
Having to evolve with the new wave of artists coming through, another major influence was Wiz Khalifa, who changed the playing field big time in the scene in terms of the sounds being combined within other genres, not just hip-hop.
Once I started learning production, that really broadened the inspiration content across the board to using rap/hip-hop vocals yet a somewhat different production approach in terms of the beats, and the evolution of Gibbee the Visionary took off from there.
What´s new right now?
I recently released an Album last year called 'Chiaroscuro' – available on most listening platforms.
I also played a gig on the 13th of February supporting for an artist named KOYSTA at the Kings Arms Tavern (Mt Eden).
Following this gig, the two artists are also playing a second show at Ding Dong Lounge (Auckland CBD) on Saturday the 24th of February.
Look for more live performances, music videos & more single releases from Gibbee this year in 2018 (who knows there might even be another project cooked up this year too).
