The Giant Peach says about Serengeti, "A musical genius, a rock star, even the dirtiest man alive. He’s been known to make crowds cry in utter sadness and laugh hysterically all in the same night."
XLR8R says, "Part raw confessional a la Rollins, part Kool Keith abstraction ... with a touch of madness. Viva la weird."
With albums that range in sound from emo indie rock, to grainy lo-fi underground rap to glitchy electro pop -and a schizo vocal style that is at once socially conscious and surreal- Serengeti challenges his audience in unexpected and inventive ways.
Serengeti's releases include 2003's Dirty Flamingo (F5) and 2005's Noodle Arm Whimsy (Day by Day). 2006 was a busy year with Gasoline Rainbows (Day by Day) and Dennehy (Bonafyde). His first Audio 8 appearance was on Polyphonic's Abstract Data Ark. This was followed by two free albums Race Trading and Thunder Valley. In November 2006, Audio 8 released Noticeably Negro, produced by Midas Wells. Dont Give Up, Geti's collaboration with Polyphonic came out in 2007 to critical acclaim.
2008 has already seen the release of Dennehy (Lights, Camera, Action!), a new and improved version of his '06 cult classic album. October of '08 Audio 8 will release the first album from Yoome, Geti's new band with Renee-Louis Carafice and Tony Trimm. He's currently working on the next Serengeti & Polyphonic release Terradactyl.
