QUSAI aka DON LEGEND the KAMELION
Hip Hop • Jeddah, SA
One of the first Arabic Hip Hop Artists, and the first Saudi Arabian Rapper. Born in Riyadh, and raised in Jeddah. Performing around the house since the age of two, Young Legend started making use of the talent at the age of 15 by participating in a number of high school plays while growing up in Jeddah. He started DJing professionally at the age of 16, and has since gone on to DJ many events in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, where he moved in 1996 at the age of 18. Along the way, he collaborated with many artists and performers from across the world, on both the underground and professional levels, and was featured as an on-air personality/DJ at WWPV 88.7FM, Burlington, VT, from the fall of 1996 to the summer of 1997.
The city of Orlando, Florida has been Legend’s home away from home for the last few years, and he has established himself as an important part in the city’s musical culture. He has been featured many times in local and international publications, both print and web media such as Business Week and many more. He has organized, hosted, and performed in several local Hip-Hop events and shows at the House of Blues, Tabu, AKA Lounge, Will’s Pub, The Social, Back Booth, and the University of Central Florida. He has also performed in shows in Chicago, Atlanta, and New York.
In January 2002, Legend and partner Eric Casey (aka E-Cleazy/Eva Clear) started Eyesomnia Productions, an immediately successful company providing production services to Hip-Hop and R&B artists across the globe. With the introduction of new partners, Eyesomnia Productions eventually evolved into Eyesomnia Enterprises by 2004. Under the Eyesomnia label, Legend has sold thousands of his independently produced albums, EPs, and singles. Plus, it was the rise of Urban Legacy with partner D-Light “Orlando’s OutKast”.
