An uber talented multi hyphenate, N’hiro tha Blacq Dogg, is kicking the door in to make a name for himself in today’s Hip Hop and R&B space. A self proclaimed “hybrid artist”, N’hiro (NHEE-row) forged his now sultry & raspy baritone singing in church choirs at the age of 4. And by age 11, the Dallas, TX born, Louisville, KY raised native was initiating his style as a focused lyricist, and crafting his own Contemporary Gospel songs.
At 14, living as a latchkey kid in a single parent home, he would begin to take poems he had written in class, and mold them into his first R&B songs. Coining himself, “tha Blacq Dogg”, mashing together his favorite color and his favorite animal, N’hiro would continue to perfect his groove still performing in local church choirs. Influenced by the sounds of Boyz II Men, Playa, Dru Hill, Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond, Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z, and the late DMX, N’hiro soon found comfort gracing the stages of local talent shows and other showcases throughout the Louisville area during his high school years.
Everything changed when he read a May 2001 Source interview with Wendy Day, that inspired him to start to focus on the business side of music. After reading the iconic “All You Need to Know About the Music Business” by Donald Passman, N’hiro started his first music publishing company and fostered his patented work ethic and savvy business mind. Graduating from the University of Louisville with a Bachelors degree in Communications and from Full Sail University with a Master of Science in Entertainment Business, he spent years toiling in several industries as a videographer, a security officer, and even a radio personality, attempting to fund and feed the music dream he had since he was 12.
Now operating out of Nashville, TN, the Mid-South crooner has birthed his own label, Blacq Label Xperience Recordings & Digital Music Group, Inc. (BLXRD Music) to release his own music independently.
