Izzy Dunfore?? Never!! That is the attitude this kid radiates as he stops at nothing on his quest to reach the top of the hip hop charts. Izzy Dunfore has done it all, and he's done it all in the most unlikely of all places. IOWA!! This kid has been down so many different paths in life, and there's nothing that ever stops him from accomplishing what everybody says he can't do. Izzy can do anything he wants to do, and if you think he can't, try to tell him no. He's made a habit of showing people who think something cant be done, that it can be done, though the road may not be easily traveled. Izzy has battled everything from stereotypes to the law and authority simply doesnt sit well with this guy. Life has put Izzy in the position he's in, and through crafty lyrics, honest words, and a from-the-heart delivery, you can expect this talented young man is going to go as far as he can take himself.

Izzy has been a musician for a long time. He performed his first solo performance in 5th grade, and became a well known voice in his community when it came to the stage. Izzy was always in the music program through high school, but used to dislike a lot of the music that was selected to perform. He began writing his own lyrics in 8th grade. He would make up his own words and be asked to stop distracting the class with his actions constantly. Once out of high school, Izzy decided to write his own songs. Back in 1999, he created his "From the Basement" mixtape, and under the name Luke Dogg, Izzy began his career as a hip hop artist. Izzy is one of the hardest working artists around. Since 1999, he has completed 8 seperate albums, and is about to release his biggest project to date. Izzy's only other solo album, "Only I," was released in 2005 and has been instrumental in Izzy's success. It is currently sold around the world in many online stores, but the album is, and will remain, an underground album. Izzy Dunfore is movin' UP. Signed to Tuff Bong Records, founded by the notorious Sid Wilson, DJ Starscream (#0 of Slipknot). With Sid and Moustache Pete producing and Chris Ranallo helping out on various tracks in his latest CD entitled: Izzy Dunfore, Izzy shows of his incredible talent as a word-smither and rapper. His unique and super high energy style is more addictive than smack, and way better for your health! Where the hell is Baxter, Iowa? Who Cares!! Izzy Dunfore brings you Hip Hop with a twist of club bumpin beats one after another and it don't stop.
