Turbo B Biography
Durron Maurice Butler (born April 30, 1967), known as Turbo B, is an American musician, rapper and beatboxer. He was once the frontman of the electronic music group Snap!.
Born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Butler started his music career as a drummer for a heavy metal band in his hometown. After joining the United States Army in July 1985, he completed basic training (C-4-3) at Fort Dix and was transferred to the 8th SC, Redstone Arsenal, AL for advanced training where he qualified to become an ammunition specialist. With his advanced training complete, he was sent to Friedberg, Germany to join the 60th Ordnance Company in Ray Barracks. After completing his service in the Army he returned to the USA but went back to Germany shortly thereafter to tour with The Fat Boys. In 1990 DJ Rico Sparx discovered his rapping talents and introduced him to Snap! producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti (who were using the pseudonyms Benito Benites and John “Virgo” Garrett III); they chose him to replace Chill Rob G’s vocals in their song “The Power”. He chose the stage name Turbo B, which had been his nickname since childhood.
After leaving Snap!, Butler pursued a solo career and also formed the group Centory, which has several minor hits. Butler is known to tour with other artists who were prominent in the 1990s. He has since contributed to singles by Victoria Silvstedt, H-Blockx and Master Blaster.
With the release of Snap!’s second album, Butler wanted the first single to be “Color of Love”. “Rhythm Is a Dancer” was planned to be the first single, however he reportedly hated the song, especially his now infamous line “I’m serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer”. In December 1991 he got his wish but “Color of Love” went fairly unnoticed in the UK and US charts. Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti then insisted on releasing “Rhythm Is a Dancer” as the second single. It became the group’s second major international hit. Butler left Snap! shortly after due to growing dissent with the group and its managers.
After leaving Snap! Butler pursued a solo career, releasing the album Make Way for the Maniac in 1993 on Polydor Records. It featured the singles “I’m Not Dead”, “Get Wild”, “What You See” and “Nice & Smooth”.
He went on to form the band Centory in 1994 with Gary Carolla, Delgado (Kevin Estevez), and Alex Trime (Eddie Gibson). They released the album Alpha Centory which spawned four minor hits in the European charts. Butler toured with Centory following their success. He did not feature in their last single, a cover of Milli Vanilli’s Girl You Know It’s True, which instead featured singer Trey D. The song was Centory’s least successful single, reaching No. 50 in the German Charts.
In 2000 Snap! and Turbo B rejoined for a comeback, and released the single “Gimme a Thrill”. The single failed to chart and their planned upcoming album One Day on Earth was subsequently never released.
Butler did not release any more solo material until 2005, when his single “New Day” was released under Holy Chaos Recordings. Butler still tours around the world with his music. He was a special guest at the 90’s Festival in Russia and joined MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice on the Back 2 Cool tour in 2009.
