Ken Hyland would probably be considered a “singer-songwriter” if he was left with only a guitar or a piano to write with. But since his days as a hip hop obsessed dj in the burroughs of South Jersey, Hyland has picked up not only a turntable or two, but has become his own self taught full band. Not that that was by choice, but by chance, as his first few demos evolved from singing over hip hop beats and samples, to replacing samples with his own instrumentals.

At the time, Hyland didn’t know he was carrying on a family tradition of self taught musicians. Having ancestors that formed their own folk quintets and jug bands before the turn of the century, and being a cousin of famed Country-Pop star Eddie Rabbitt, wasn’t a topic at family gatherings.

Now residing in LA, Hyland has brought his own brand of songwriting to tinsel town, and is back to original form as a solo artist. Drawing on an eclectic style of influences from the found sound of turntablism to classic and modern rock, his days of DJing and do-it-yourselfer heritage will still echo through his now self proclaimed hip-rock-folk-pop.
