    BIO of The Paxtons
    The foundation for the DMV’s best kept secret began 12 years ago on Chicago’s Paxton Avenue, the block Chris & Dave respectively called home. An accomplished audio engineer, Chris’ love affair with soulful expression began with his father’s extensive record collection and resulted in a stint as the house engineer for Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s South Side. Similar roots cultivated Dave’s progression as a feverishly requested DJ and tastemaker in the midwest. The product was the self-produced genius of The Paxtons.

    Discovering their passion for hip hop during the “backpack era” of the late 90’s, they began making a name for themselves in showcases, cyphers & battles throughout the city’s South Side. Around this time Dave began djing locally and producing in efforts to develop a unique sound. Collaborations with fellow artists and friends such as underground legend, Skech185, resulted in 2001’s “A Tale of Two Cities”, 2002’s “Drawbridge EP”, 2003’s “Idle Hands” & “7 Years In The Making” and 2004’s “SK Presents…”.

    Briefly stepping away from the booth to complete their respective college degrees in St. Louis, the Paxtons became entrenched in the entertainment industry with the establishment of lifestyle brand South Shore Social Club in 2006. The creative outlet produced forays in college radio, television, innovative nightlife and a self-titled streetwear label. Since relocating to the District, The Paxtons have established their presence as tastemakers of music, art and fashion via Philly-based You Hype! Sike Nah… with style icon Call Me… Mr. Garr.

    The Paxtons’ sound is characterized by massive arrangements, profound lyricism, pop culture, and an unwavering love for the hood. With influences ranging from 90s Hip-Hop to New Jack Swing to Chicago’s House Scene, expect nothing more than an emphasis on quality music that resonates as a soundtrack for everyday life.
