About D. Abatoir

About Me:: Abatoir as a verb means, “to strike down” and commonly used to refer to a slaughterhouse. It is meant to be a metaphor for decimating the herd and disassociating with the masses to walk the uncommon path.

The journey down this path began as with young Daryl scrawling his thoughts and outlook into notebooks. Writing poetry combined with exposure to the records his father owned, resulted in Abatoir’s gravitation towards songwriting and performing music.

The desire to relay a distinctive message required a style of music that allowed the freedom to go in any direction with sound and control all creative aspects. With his deep knowledge of recorded music and his intuitive understanding of song, the evolving genre of hip-hop was his natural choice. In this pursuit Abatoir focused his talents to turntablism and soon became a DMC battle tested DJ.

But the necessity to express himself about events in his life, social injustices and current events around the world, caused Abatoir to return to his first love…writing and performing on the mic.
