I am an independent hip-hop artist with an affinity for eclecticism, experimentation, the avant garde, and alternative musical expressions. I'm just an artist out here who is set on creating and networking with other fellow artists. Get at me.
I rap, I sing, I produce, mix, master, arrange music in my bedroom. I write conventional rhymes as well as top-line. I produce a majority of my own music and have been told that I have a very original sound that is unique to me.
I am available if you need a rap feature.
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with The Møjavi Burn
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. The essence of analog can never be fully replicated. It sounds so good. Organic music is amazing. However, digital music can be extremely convenient for those who may or may not readily have analog musicians/instruments at their disposal. Plus, technology is becoming more and more advanced with time and digital productions sound just as good as organic analog arrangements. Both can be used to accomplish great feats musically and artistically.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I am good for a solid verse. I do other things as well such as singing, producing and arranging music. But, my strength is definitely within my writing and rapping abilities. I do have a basic understanding of music theory which I incorporate into my own production.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been writing and rapping for 15+ years, honing my craft in the shadows.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Musicians of various kinds i.e. guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, percussionists, lyricists, singers, poets,

A: Assuming there is no electricity, I guess I would take my guitar, pen & pad, a cajon...
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: The by-product of fornication between the art of calligraphy and the chaos which is a moshpit at a hole-in-the-wall venue.

A: Closet, Mic, Logic Pro X, drum sequencers
I work quickly and communicate heavily via email. I record my vocals in raw WAV format. We can negotiate prices but I'm fine with $75 for a verse and a shout out, $40 for a hook.
