Wheelchair Sportscamp
Wheelchair Sports Camp, the Denver based pseudo hip-hop band is Kalyn as
MC/producer, Abi McGaha Miller as vocalist/saxophone, brother Isaac as
live rhythm, and Christopher Behm-Meyer as DJ B*Money. The band
unknowingly started in the summer of 1997 when Kalyn moved back from
Burbank, CA to her Denver hometown and was invited to attend/corrupt the
14th annual week-long Wheelchair Sports Camp. Having grown-up listening
to TLC, Salt -n- Pepa, Missy Elliot and The Pharcyde despite her
parent\'s recommendations, Kalyn entered a talent show at the age of 12
rapping originial rhymes over a cassette of herself beatboxing. After
meeting Abi and later brother Isaac in college, Kalyn combined talents
to create a more live, jazzy, funky, combination to the traditional
hip-hop group. And after hitting their groove with DMC national finalist
DJ B*Money, they had everything a group could need to call themselves a
good band. The unconventional setup of live instruments, turntables and
Kalyn\'s produced beats, presents a polished sound unique to the hip
hop game with old-school lyrics that maintain a sarcastic yet
independent and heavy consciousness. After playing for a few years
around the Denver metro area, the group has been fortunate enough to
share the stage with headliners and mentors like Raekwon, Rahzel, Zion
I, Souls Of Mischief, good friend One Be Lo & Binary Star,
Blueprint, Mr. Dibbs, Macklemore, DubConscious, Pep Love, Astronautalis
and many more. The band has played outside home in places including New
York, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and continues to expand their
fanbase in further markets.
