Writer/Reporter for Urban Synthesis Radio (USR), host of the internet based hip hop show, VERBALIZE and emcee for the Lakeland based hip hop & funk band, SEMISOUL. I call myself, "The Messenger," or even just "a messenger," because I believe that what I am saying is supposed to be said! I have always enjoyed hip hop music because I find it to be so direct and personal! For those who have an open mind to receive quality hip hop lyrics & messages, it is amazing what a person can discover and be inspired to feel! I have recorded & produced for artists in most every genre of music ranging from hip hop to classical concert pianists. I'm also a proud member of the HIP HOP COLLECTIVE-an impressive hip hop & breakdance club at the University of Florida that has managed to thrive for the past 7 years! We've held an event called SOUL CYPER every year that has had a regular attendance of about 1,500+ breakdancers, mc's, dj's & graffiti artists! I was the founding MC CHAIRMAN when the club began and have stepped up to the position off and on throughout the past 7 years as well, to included hosting the first ever SOUL CYPER in 2000 and the most recent one in 2007. From 2003-2007 I was the co-emcee of the hip hop & jazz fusion band, VOICE OF THE PEOPLE which I still collaborate with. I am available for: Music Production, Scoring, Mixing & Mastering Services, Graphic Design, Event planning and event hosting! In RECENT NEWS, I will be releasing a new solo album entitled, "A WHOLE NEW LIFE," featuring myself, DJ Manomega and Pianist, Mario Monroe in Januray 2009! Please contact me if you are in the market for a producer and/or a music manager. Also, please enjoy the following live performance clip of me performing with my former band VOICE OF THE PEOPLE below @ UDTV's HIP HOP BUFFET Concert Series ...
PEACE & LOVE!!! - Marley Montano, a.k.a. "The Messenger"
