The Akire Group Presents A Birthday in Wonderland. Come Experience the Music and Celebrate the Birthday of Hisson1083 (Torrey Beckham). Special Guests: Michele Thibeaux and JuzCoz!

Unprecedented. Intense. Extraordinary. These words merely begin to describe a Torrey “Hisson” Beckham experience. Born and raised in Dallas, TX, his love of music began while riding in the backseat with his parents listening to gospel, soul, jazz, funk, and the blues. He pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in music from Texas Southern University and was trained as a classic baritone. This audiophile’s lexicon transcends era and genres and uses it all to introduce to the world an innovative approach to music that turns audiences into fiends, craving more of his unique, resonating voice set to experimental electronic melodies and arrangements.

In 2008, Hisson released an electronic EP that was a tantric, inventive and meditative spin on widely-recognized tunes. He called the project Covered Parking (2008). With his first full project, slated to be released in the winter of 2009, Hisson has been hard at work. More than just a performer, Hisson has written, produced, and arranged for Kozmik Oasis Recordings Artist Caretta Bell and Kuumba Freeque, PeaceUvMine Recording Artist Michele Thibeaux, Houston’s own Flow Factory and Platinum Jazz. His musical journey has taken him throughout the continental U.S. and Canada and he continues to be a pioneer that is leading Houston’s progressive music scene.

Join Hisson1083 as he celebrates his birthday in an electronic wonderland style.
