Music n.
Is defined as the art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified,
and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.

The current "music" situation is a situation that is in flux. Rock music has seemed to lose its luster from the crescendo of the 70’s thru early 90’s and now hip-hop holds the dubious distinction of, monkey see; monkey do. Enter: DelFuMo a.k.a. Delaware Funk Mobb. DelFuMo is clearly the bridge not only for the art of music, but on an even bigger social scale a gathering of generations, cultures, and musical genre’s.

DelFuMo in Spanish means "Of the Smoke" and while the band has only been in place for 7 months, they do bring the fire. Collectively they have over 50 years of combined experience. Before their individual journeys led them to become DelFuMo, independently members had been preparing for this moment.

The Roster

• "BALDWIN" – Robert Baldwin ak.a. BIG STEEL - Lead vocals / A Prolific Lyricist who has the gift for clever, compositions. He is determination. He is relentless. He is also a Husband & Father of 2. Recently has lost over 245 lbs due to gastric bypass surgery.
• "Wyatt Erpp" – Daron Simmons a veteran of Iraq war. Vocals/songwriter, comedian
• "Polls" – Steve Politowski – Percussion
• "Monck" – Jonathan Monck - Bass Guitar
• "Six-Sringer" - Harry Wilson – Guitar / Keys
• "Mattie Moz" – Matthew Jeffries – Production extraordinaire/songwriter

The moniker DelFuMo was originally conceived in 1997 when BALDWIN then “Big Steel,” and Wyatt Erpp then "Multi" formed a hip-hop group with two other members. Although they achieved some moderate success the group was short lived. BALDWIN and Erpp remained friends and continued recording and performing together and have done more than 250 gigs, talent shows, showcases etc

In 2001, BALDWIN who draws inspiration from all of the great artists and writers of our time, began a project with Grammy Award winning Engineer / Producer David Ivory. Soon after they were successful in getting two of their original tracks placed on the hit CBS television series "Hack." BALDWIN who has a unique look and is never known to be shy in the public eye discovered his next obvious direction, acting. As an aspiring actor, BALDWIN has been able to get roles in “Hack” (2 separate occasions) and HBO original movie “Undefeated” and HBO series "THE WIRE" as well as 2 nationally released Independent movies; "Without a Badge" & “Felonius.” Felonious, a critically acclaimed independent movie not only shows BALDWIN and ERPP’s acting ability but it also uses two of their songs on the soundtrack. “Change” & “Better Days”

The two songs used, were produced by Mattie Moz, a musical genius since childhood, who gains inspiration from Alchemist and Dr. DRE is a hip-hop producer that is always looking for that bigger, newer sound Mattie who liked the name DelFuMo so much he chose it as the name for his independent record label. Mattie and “Big Steel” released a CD “Welcome to My World” in 2001 that received great reviews, and major record label attention.

Wyatt ERPP is “MULTI”-talented; he’s a lyricist, singer, comedian, and artist. He joined the others in the creative process and that’s when they all realized that they were onto something groundbreaking. Now add to ERPP’s list of skills is his guitar playing.

In a relatively short period of time DelFuMo has taken a life all its own. It was obvious from their first time playing an open mic in February 2005 at Kahunaville (Delaware’s largest venue), that DelFuMo creates energy every time they take to the stage. Kahunaville was so impressed that they began booking DelFuMo immediately, and the fact that an “original” band began getting booked there, was unprecedented. They have garnished press already being interviewed and reviewed regularly.

Already DelFuMo has opened for Kanye West, John Legend, Maxi Priest, and The Whalers and have shared the stage with legendary Grammy Award Winning singer songwriter Bunny Sigler. DelFuMo has drawn many comparisons to icons such as, The Fugees, Black Eyed Peas, The Roots, Dave Matthews Band, Limp Biskit, PM Dawn, Fleetwood Mac, Hootie and the Blowfish, Public Enemy, Naughty by Nature and A Tribe Called Quest. What is certain is that while all of these acts are great, none of them have the balance and blend of DelFuMo. Maybe this group of stars should call itself “constellation”.
