Meet The Artists

   The Dragon (Gavin Boardley) is an idiosyncratic musician,  fan, and founder of Dragon’s Den Records. The Dragon is known for displaying high-level lyricism while interconnecting hip-hop with many other genres of music (especially comedy, rock, and metal). Gavin has never been like other artists, incorporating influences ranging from Eminem, Dr. Dre, and The D.O.C. to Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, and Metallica. Past experience in the high school concert, jazz, and marching bands has influenced his production style as well. If viewed in release order, his discography feels like an interconnected TV show, with a set cast of distinct characters, plots, and subplots that take viewers on wild misadventures. Every song he makes has a music video, acting as an episode to a larger season, as is evident in his versatile debut mixtape, The Synopsis Saga (Mixtape), and Big Dan's debut EP, Pilot, which he co-produced. It is also good to note that most of these characters are played by Boardley himself, with the story’s overall setting taking place inside his head. These characters represent different facets of Gavin’s mind,  symbolizing mental introspection and fracture, while often mixing a variety of musical and emotional tones. Some of these characters include the likes of R. Suit, P. Suit, Shit Shady, and more. He also enjoys creating short skits to act as ‘glue’ between songs. STORYTELLER 1ST!!!  

   On a less serious note, The Dragon spits flames with his often comedic, uncensored, cruel yet imaginative storytelling, kick-ass bars, and hard guitars... 

   Welcome inside the mind of Gavin Boardley. (mic drop *thud*)
