The Venomous Chemist

Andre Barksdale (The Venomous Chemist) is an artist as lyrically methodical as his name suggests. 
He credits his relationship with music to the exposure he received as a child, watching his father DJ. The crowd’s response to his father’s spins of The Dramatics, Blue Magic, The OJays and other heavy hitters of the 60s and 70s opened The Venomous Chemist’s eyes and ears to the power of real music. Living in a city where violence, drugs, and poverty were a harsh reality, The Venomous Chemist relied on music and his personal experiences to morph negatives into positives. By age 14, he considered himself an artist whose lyrics would not give way to the glorification of city vice. Currently, he blends melodic sounds and epic samples with genuine storytelling. With a solid delivery and thought provoking lyrics, this chemist has found a potent mix that is ready for the masses.
