biography

Bizzy was born in New Zealand on February 29, 1980. At the age of 7 he moved to Washington, DC to live with his aunt. In 1995 he attended a music school in New Zealand and applied his knowledge when he became a DJ in local clubs. He was later admitted to the School of Audio Engineering.

In 2001 he moved to South Korea and auditioned for various labels. Most offered him roles as a backing singer and guest rapper for Korean pop groups. He turned it down because it ran counter to his goals of becoming a rapper. During this time he met Yang Dong Gun (YDG) and became a member of his hip-hop crew Yucka Squad. He was later inducted into the hip-hop crew The Movement. Movement Crew member Sean2Slow observed how Bizzy "would always be busy," leading to his current stage name.

In 2002 he recorded his album debut We Movin 'In as part of rapper Smokie J's compilation album The Konexion . He became more active in the Yucka Squad and acted as both a rapper and a DJ for the group. When Drunken Tiger's DJ Shine left, Tiger asked DT Bizzy's JK to DJ and support. Initially, Bizzy was responsible for DJ Shine's lyrics for performances, but later became a co-producer and feature on Drunken Tiger's 6th album. He was signed to Jungle Entertainment in 2006 and released his own EP Bizzionary in 2008 .

In 2012, Bizzy recorded his first soundtrack song Nu Hero for the drama Hero (coincidentally with Bizzy's old friend YDG). Until 2013, Bizzy was considered a solo act, performing alongside Drunken Tiger and Yoon Mi-Rae. However, the three later decided to create the MFBTY group. In January 2013 they released their digital mini-album Sweet Dream .

MFBTY left the former label Jungle Entertainment and founded the new label Feel Ghood Music in July 2013. MFBTY was named Drunken Tiger in September, followed by the release of Drunken Tiger's 9th album, The Cure .
