AllOne

Expect high energy, expressive theatrics during an emotional and sophisticated spectacle of lyricism. A mosaic of musical approaches accompanying thought provoking lyricism. While not party music, expect interactive call and response moments in songs, moving ballads and quiet poetic interludes. My setlists are always written to be a roller coaster of dynamics between inspiring and tragic messages and high and reserved energy. Expect all of this presented by a charming and comfortable stage presence rife with good humor and thought provoking messages. Interactive freestyle rap games (taking topics and improvising songwriting about them) are a frequent aspect of shows. Can customize approaches/performance or song styles to most any needs.

AllOne is a moniker and a mantra for Long Island native Bruce Pandolfo. A writer, poet, rapper, freestyler, singer and electric performer, Bruce brings a conscious and experimental brand of high quality poignant lyricism to hip hop and contemporary edge poetry. Enthusiastic and emotive, he has released 6 recorded six eclectic projects since 2010 and performed dozens on dozens of shows in an out of the country on DIY national tours. In the vein of underground legends like Slug of Atmosphere, Sage Francis or Eyedea. In terms of mainstream acts, the easy route for comparison would be to think of him as a conscientious and heartfelt Eminem with none of the aggression and more creatively adventurous or a "thinking man's" Macklemore. But AllOne is an artist all his own, ever-experimenting and consistently digging for meaning and pushing the standards for intellectual and emotional lyrical content. His live shows are intense and connective, fluxing between singing, a Capella poetry, impressive musically accompanied rapping and story telling, the mainstay is always an emotive emphasis on creating a sincere connection with the audience no matter the size.

If with band, standard 4 piece set up.
If poetry, often a PA depending on the room.
Dj accompaniment is possible or even just if solo, for instrumentals plugging a laptop into a DIA box straight to the/a PA would suffice.
