When Q-Dot isn't flying around in his hip-hop superhero cape rapping, making beats, recording, performing and running his own record label, Tre'dmarks Music Group, he goes simply by Q or Quincy. He was named after Quincy Jones, and has earned badges as an MC, producer, songwriter, pianist, singer, recording engineer, mixer and DJ.

Today, the Federal Way-based hip-hop superhero dropped a bit of news:

Senior Executives at BET Networks have invited Seattle MC/Pianist/Producer Q Dot to perform at the networks Music Matters showcase in New York City in May. Music Matters is a platform BET started to help nurture and launch the careers of new artists and has played an instrumental role in helping break artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Elle Varner, Stalley and Grammy nominee Miguel. 

Q Dot's inclusion in the program includes the aforementioned showcase which is free and will be held at S.O.B's (Sounds of Brazil) May 14th in New York, New York. 

Congrats Q!
