The Australian Hip-pop artist
feel free
.1. Tell us about your background – your story of self-discovery and your amazing achievements.
My Name is Reyne Brady (pronounced Rain but spelled differently) AKA Mugzy
I'm 27yrs old from Sydney Australia (The Land Down Under).
I became interested in hip-hop music and the culture of hip-hop when I was 14 so 2005 my early years in High School.
Around that time I guess you could say I was a bit of a loner which caused me to get bullied a lot
also, my grades were failing, and i had no avenue where I would be in life when I finished school
So instead I bought myself an iPod and started listening to artists such as Eminem, 50 Cent, Tupac.
Be humble, respectful, inspiring and treating every opportunity like it’s the greatest opportunity ever.
Eminem was the one I could relate to the most (Even to this day) I know It sounds cliche because I'm a typical white boy myself but just the Aggression/Anger in his wordplay/lyrics
It gave me a voice to say I Don't give a f*** a platform to fight back an take no sh** in this world.
Starting Off I would drop down small rhymes in my workbook, but I knew if I wanted to progress I would have to write full lyric songs. Also, I knew if I wanted to be known or respected by the general hip-hop community who loves it as much as I do then I would have to do my homework take a trip back in time where it all started in the 70s of South Bronx and learn bit by bit.
What inspires me about the culture of hip-hop is that it's the ONLY music form that you can express yourself in any way/shape/form possible. You pick any other music genre Rock, Pop, Rnb etc Trust me they don't have the same effect that hip-hop brings that's why I love it
