Artist History Writing graffiti since the age of 15, Fair One and crewmate Staeryatz began making beats and freestyling while at piecing walls. It had started this way, and soon the level of sophistication in the audio form grew into something either of them had expected. The initial project was entitled, 'S.H.O.W Lordz', or Spreading Havoc on Walls Lordz, and after a short period of time selling street tapes - the duo eventually parted ways. Choosing only to pursue their individual agendas. For Fair One this was clear, present, and only growing larger. Moving to Halifax and Vancouver over the past few years, he has had an opportunity to work with a number of talented people. More often than not, collaborating with other emcees or producers along the way. Based out of Winnipeg, Fair One is situated in the heart of this great country and makes music in the 'basement'. In 2003, Fair is rarely found painting pieces, but instead in the project studio mining stabs or strings for the next production. Moving on...
