I’m Schiz The Gaffer, an emerging alt/indie hip-hop artist based in Rock Hill, SC. I just recently moved to the area from Alabama, where I had found many other underground artists in a community surrounding a venue called The Alter in Piedmont AL, and I am looking to find community similar to that. I’m hoping to network and collaborate with other artists and bands in the genres of alt rock, indie rock, alt hip-hop, and underground rap.

I’ve been told that my style is unique, a nice blend of hip-hop geared deliveries influenced by alt rock.

Looking forward to connecting with the local community.

Hey Schiz, thanks for joining and sharing your music!

The only thing I know about the music scene in Rock Hill is centered around the “Concerts at the Courtroom” series hosted by Mike Gentry. The program is funded by the York County Arts Council and Mike books all kinds of different local artists from the scene there and beyond. I’d imagine that is where you can meet some people who can tell you more, if you haven’t already checked them out.

The last time I was there was quite some time ago (2019), but it was filled with a super diverse crowd and I’d imagine that it has only gotten more well-run ever since.

Here’s the interview I did with him back then, much of this is (probably) still valid information: https://extrachill.com/2019/01/the-courtroom-is-the-heart-of-the-rock-hill-music-scene.html

Someone was also telling me about the house show scene there and how it has some interesting alternative genres.

Thanks again for sharing your music, I wasn’t able to add it to our playlist this week but I hope you continue to share and engage with the community. I’d be willing to share some more direct feedback on the music, if you’d like, just respond here and let me know, and I’ll send you a note via email.

Cheers,

Chris
