cipha sounds

Cipha Sounds is a multi-talented performer with roots as a DJ in New York City’s rich hip-hop culture, and is a mainstay of NYC’s comedy scene. With a knack for observational comedy, a background in improv, and an arsenal of music industry anecdotes, Cipha’s sets are always unique – drawing on the energy of the room and the audience.

When he’s not on the road with comedians like Dave Chappelle, Michelle Wolf, Mo Amer, and Michael Che, you can find him performing at Manhattan’s legendary Comedy Cellar, headlining major clubs around the country, and starring and featuring on TV shows like Tru TV’s “Laff Mobb’s Laff Tracks”, Fuse’s “What’s Ur Thing?” and HBO Max’s “That Damn Michael Che”. Cipha also spent many years as a host on Hot 97’s morning show, he was the original DJ for Chappelle’s Show, and was a touring DJ for artists such as Lil Kim, Mos Def, and Rihanna.

With a Twitter and Instagram fan following in the hundreds of thousands, Cipha is making talk pop as the co-host of the podcasts Talk Clearlier (with fellow comedian Wil Sylvince) and Juan Ep Is Life (with Hot 97’s and ESPN’s Peter Rosenberg). Stay tuned for his debut half-hour special!
