Hip-hop’s edgy rhythmic meanderings, and sharp lyrical twists and turns are conveyed through the zigzag body language of David Garibaldi’s “DJ Free.” Originally from Los Angeles, Garibaldi was transformed from a graffiti street rebel by a high-school teacher who channeled his art in a positive direction. Garibaldi paints in the studio and also takes his art on the road in dynamic performances called “Rhythm & Hue.” Before nightclub and television audiences, Garibaldi grasps his paintbrushes like drumsticks, energetically creating enormous portraits of celebrities and icons in less than six minutes. Always accompanied by music, his remarkable performances have been featured on numerous TV shows, at charity events and in video games.
