The Rebel Rocker, MYSELF has worked with multiple Grammy winning artists (The Roots, Dead Prez, Public Enemy, Chris Thomas king, & R-Kelly). MYSELF defies genres while re-defining originality, his musical styling has been described as couture (tailor made to fit everyone). MYSELF’s sonic moshpit encompasses raw like sushi, punk, organic hip hop, gumbo funk, hot buttered soul & future classic alternative rock!
Being a musical visionary MYSELF has hijacked the airwaves holding hostage from Chuck D, Arrested Development, and famed actor Danny Glover. His music speaks for itself communicating a language that stretches from the muddy Mississippi river to the historical temples of Japan. Describing MYSELF can be enigmatic because he as an artist frequently breaks down stereotypes, boundaries and labeling.
Super producer, multiplatinum music iCON Nile Rodgers who has produced global hits for Madonna, Sting, Duran Duran, and Chic recently signed MTV/Billboard Magazine featured artist MYSELF to his Sumthing distribution label under MYSELF’s own int’l imprint boutique label Couture Music Wear Inc.
The Record: MYSELF’s “Protest in Disguise” was recorded at the legendary Chung King Studios formerly Chung King House of Metal. Chung King has been the home for many Def Jam classic recordings (Rick Rubin, Run-Dmc, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, LL Cool J). MYSELF can now be added to this A-list of album projects.
Protest in disguise contains (14) turbo supercharged high octane tracks. The lead single “God is so funky” is a soulful melodic/hypnotic catchy song that rocks the dance floor! “Where we going?” is a blues entrenched worldbeat jam that incorporates the essentials of a modern day Bob Dylan/Bob Marley cry for change. “Baby….you drive me crazy” picks up where the party lets off…it’s a fast & furious punk hip-hop adrenaline anthem that delves into the hardships of a relationships. “Protest in Disguise” showcases musical dexterity and lyrical complexity….evoking MYSELF’s strength as a tremendous songwriter, producer and lyricist. The songs on “Protest in Disguise” burns slowly, ignites intensely encouraging the listener to “Keep the Fire Burning”.
