About me - current project:

Mr. Hooper (formerly known as Crazy Ballhead) is an award winning independent rap artist, poet, writer, filmmaker, and music producer representing Sacramento, CA. He started his Hip-Hop journey in the mid 80’s as a pre-teen Human Beat Box for his older brother’s crew, and released his first marketed album in 1992 as part of the group Real Brothers (album: Soul Controllers). Going solo under the name Crazy Ballhead in 1994, Hooper built and maintained a strong underground presence that garnered him fans around the world and respect as a top quality lyric purveyor in the genre. He toured the United States and Europe, and earned several acknowledgements including an induction into the Sacramento Area Music (SAMMIES) Hall of Fame. Changing his stage name to Mr. Hooper in 2014 in honor of his father, Hooper has continued to amaze audiences with his captivating lyrics, precise delivery, attention grabbing stage show, and masterful musical compositions. Blending consciousness, introspection, life stories, and golden era harkening metaphors, Hooper’s lyrical styles are relatable to a broad and diverse audience.
