Los Angeles native Biz McKenzie, known globally as Biz the Drummer, rose from the foster system to the festival stage — transforming rhythm into resilience. A prodigy turned visionary, Biz’s live energy and musical depth have led him to perform alongside Grammy‑winning icons Faith Evans, John Mayer, and Jakob Dylan, earning a reputation as one of the most dynamic drummers and frontmen of his generation.

With his genre‑bending collective Dirtyharvard Band, Biz pioneered Cali’ Reggae — a sound that fuses reggae’s heartbeat with hip‑hop edge and California soul. The group has ignited stages from House of Blues and SXSW to national festivals across the U.S. and Canada, celebrated for blending live drums, digital production, and cinematic performance art.

After the world’s long silence, Biz returned as the Buffalo Soldier — channeling struggles with identity, faith, and mental health into uplifting anthems. His forthcoming project, Welcome 2 Cali Island, embodies that rebirth: love, self‑awareness, and pure West Coast fire.

Backed by his powerhouse company Biz Entertainment Network and creative movement Gasmask Tribe Nation, Biz McKenzie & Dirtyharvard Band stand as proof that independence can shine as bright as any major label.
