About Sketch: For over a decade, Sketch has been honing his skills as a songwriter. At the young age of 15, Sketch began battling, writing songs and wowing audiences every time he touched a mic. By the age of 16, he was recording in professional studios and working with experienced producers/engineers throughout the DMV. Known throughout the area as a ferocious lyricist, Sketch showed his incredible talent for songwriting as he recorded the albums Game Over and Wild Irish Rose in 2000 and 2001. Wild Irish Rose received critical acclaim in one of hip-hop’s top publications, Insomniac Magazine (Issue 19).

Sketch has gone on to open for stars such as Nas, Raekwon, Jadakiss & D-Block, Lupe Fiasco, Wale, Nipsey Hussle, Clipse and 9th Wonder.

After winning a very competitive battle at Club Datalus in DC in 2004, Sketch received an invitation to battle live on air for the WPGC 95.5 Friday Night Mic Fights. Sketch won week after week and was on the show eight consecutive weeks. Sketch went on to release a mixtape titled “60 Minutes” in 2004, which received amazing reviews and feedback from the fans as well as media.
