A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Voodoo has made a name for himself as one of underground hip hop's most talented and prolific artists. Originally a co-host on J-Smooth's Underground Railroad radio program on NYC's WBAI (99.5 FM) in the early 1990s, Mr. Voo went on to become a founding member of the group Natural Elements before releasing a series of independent records following the group's indefinite hiatus. Co-founding Hemlock Records in 2002, Mr. Voodoo has since begun using his given name, Agu, professionally.
