From the success from his first single, “Nothing You Can Do About It“, urban hardrocker Bizzythowed, has announced the second single, “GTBO,” from his forthcoming LP, Blank Check, Volume I. Yep, “GTBO” is an acronym, but you have to listen to the song to find out what it means.
Recorded in Houston, TX both tracks are set for a mid-2016 release. Blank Check, Volume I is the debut full-length from the Texas-based writer/producer. Bizzythowed has worked alongside some of the music industry’s biggest names, including The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and Fabolous.
Originally from Houston and inspired by hip-hop artists and metal acts alike, Bizzythowed took to the guitar as a teen and was admitted to Boston’s Berklee School of Music with a major in guitar performance. He would later finish his education in audio engineering in Miami, where he co-founded the band Purple Popcorn and established Mean Stringz Entertainment. Through lending production insight to artists and studios throughout Miami, Bizzythowed managed to secure late night appearances as a guitarist on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Regis and Kelly.
Since then, Bizzythowed has provided instrumentation and arrangements for some of pop and hip-hop’s best-known stars, including Pitbull, French Montana and MIMS. Blank Check, Volume I will serve to carve out Bizzythowed’s place not just behind the soundboard, but also as a musician in his own right.
