Artist Info: Daniel Dumile

Daniel Dumile ("doom-uh-lay") is a American hip-hop artist who has taken on several aliases (King Geedorah, MF DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, Zev Love X and Metal Fingers) in his career.

Dumile's eccentric wordplay makes him a favorite of underground hip-hop fans. He is heavily influenced by American comic books (especially the Fantastic Four and their battles with Dr. Doom). Japanese science fiction is also an influence; the concept for King Geedorah (which is derived from Ghidorah) and the Monsta Island Czars comes from the Godzilla movie series. [read more...]
