Initially a metal head in his teens, Biotic became obsessed with writing lyrics, but with no avenue to vent. That all changed when he discovered the Brisbane underground Hip Hop scene. The Source on Ann Street, Fortitude Valley allowed Biotic the chance to spit venomous rhymes on the mic for the first time in 2003. Sick of commercial overplay on the mainstream A/V output that govern most tastes, penning lyrics over tempered beats was just the creative release he needed. Biotic then went on to pour that same blood and sweat into taking over the Babbleon battles on Australia Day 2005. He's been praised for his clear, strong, pronunciated rapping style and thought provoking metaphorical rhymes. In 2007 Biotic joined forces with Coops, another motivated emcee from Brisbane, and formed The Allegiance. Not long after Biotic and Coops joined forces they featured on The First Downplayment record from Downplay Records and the City Cyphaz Mixtape in early 2009 barging through the speakers
