Active in the international Hip Hop scene for over 10 years, Lou Piensa has been involved in many aspects of the movement including radio, music production, performance and events organisation. He has shared the stage with such artists as Common, Dead Prez, Tony Touch, K'Naan, Jean Grey, Foreign Beggars and more. Since the year 2000,he has been living in the Cote-des-Neiges neigborhood of Montreal, Canada. A trilingual MC (English, French and Spanish), Lou also has a decade long tie with the Cuban Hip Hop scene, particularely with the pioneering duo Obsesion (myspace.com/obsesioncuba). In 2004, he helped initiate the creation of Nomadic Massive, a multilingual and eclectic live Hip Hop crew (myspace.com/nomadicmassive) with whom he has been making noise both as an MC and producer. His nomadic childhood (Lou was born in France and grew up in Ecuador, Algeria, Canada and Cuba) has given him an ability to adapt with ease and it has fueled his international vision of Hip Hop culture. His production reflects an eclectic musical upbringing, finding inspiration in the rythms from the world over. When he is not teaching English to high school kids, he can be found cooking, making beats, learning portuguese and writing rhymes in preparation for travelling the world with music.Ahi na'ma'!
