muzeONE

This San Diego native emcee has been perfecting the art of lyricism for over 17 years. For muzeONE, it was his father's love for funk, soul and r&b that sparked a connection to the early '90s, sample-laden style of Hip Hop. This attachment translated in to a love for the art of rhyme and a desire to participate in all aspects of Hip-Hop culture. After a turbulent adolescence, muzeONE found a greater purpose for his music, inspired by the truth of the Bible. His new found faith created a shift in the message behind his lyrics, from self-praising rhetoric to words of hope, love, intelligence and beauty. Since then, muzeONE has released several musical projects, such as the 2005 release "TruthBeautyGoodness" (as 1/2 of the group Redeemed Thought), The Proposal EP, and his latest release, "The Backburner EP", available now on iTunes. He has gain notoriety across the country as a skilled emcee, performer, public speaker and producer (releasing "The instruMENTAL Mixtape" vols. 1 & 2, a beat collection, also available on iTunes). Now residing back in the WEST COAST (San Diego), after an 8 year stay in Philadelphia, PA, muzeONE lives with his wife and daughter, who have become a new source of creative inspiration for his music. He is currently working on his first full-length solo album entitled, "The Cold War", to be released on Illect Recordings early 2011 (www.illect.com for more info). With his recent induction into the super-crew of talented emcees known as Scribbling Idiots, muzeONE is set to continue delivering his music and message to the world, with hopes of leaving a legacy of art that will be appreciated forever.
