About Me |
|
| VOCALIST. SCULPTOR. WRITER. PHOTOGRAPHER. An offspring of Southern California's multi-cultural diversity, hip hop vocalist and visual artist, ITHAKA (aka Darin Pappas) was spawned on a wide spectrum of suburban and urban influences, both personally and artistically. As a teenager, Los Angeles provided him constant contact with people from different countries and wide ranges of economic class who often had little or nothing in common. This motivated him to bridge the gaps. He found he related to people from all over
from multitudes of social realities, often making friends with foreigners and scouring their brains for information about the outside. This eventually inspired his own life-long ambition of travel and adventure. Becoming the fundamental fuel for his five ground-breaking hip hop albums, numerous photography and sculpture exhibits and short stories. He has also lived in Lisbon, Tokyo, Athens- and is presently grounded in Rio de Janeiro where he recorded his latest album with producer, TITO GOMES called "SALTWATER NOMAD". Also made in Rio, "EM DIRECAO ITHAKA" (On The Way To Ithaka), a documentary about the life of the artist directed by SUSANNA LIRA. The film won BEST SCRIPT/IDEA AWARD at the Brazilian FATU film festival. ALBUMS: SALTWATER NOMAD (2007), FUSE WITH ME-Ithaka vs cartell 70 (2005), RECORDED IN RIO (2004), SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF SOMALIA (2001), STELLAFLY (1997), FLOWERS AND THE COLOR OF PAINT (1995). His old school hip hop classic, ESCAPE FROM THE CITY OF ANGELS was featured in the soundtrack for Columbia Films, "THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS" (directed by Antoine Fuqua & starring Oscar winning actors, Chow Yung Fat & Mira Sorvino.
And Clifton Davis Jr.)In the mid-'90s while living in Europe, he wrote lyrics and vocalized one of the biggest export dance hits in Portuguese history; Underground Sound of Lisbon's, "SO GET UP" (reaching 8 on the UK BILLBOARD dance charts). And in 2007
Ithaka did vocals and lyrics on another dance track, "YOU" (DJ Vibe featuring Ithaka) released on the album, DJ VIBE: GLOBAL GROOVES III.In addition to contributing to soundtracks of several surf films,
his music has most recently appeared on the highly-rated xbox-360 basketball game, NBA 2K7. Ithaka's short stories appear in most editions of the American surf magazine, WATER (www.water-digital.com). DON'T FORGET to SUSCRIBE to the ITHAKA BLOG and CHECK OUT the VIDEO & PHOTO PAGES here on MYSPACE.
