New Orleans native rocker MYSELF, a riveting live entertainer and thoughtful songwriter, defies genres while re-defining originality on his debut album Protest In Disguise. His sonic moshpit of styles have been described as couture (tailor made to fit every one), encompassing raw-like-sushi punk, organic hip hop, gumbo funk, hot buttered soul & future classic alternative rock. MYSELF breaks down stereotypes, boundaries and labels, and challenges categorization, while communicating in a language spoken from the muddy Mississippi river to the historical temples of Japan. The rebel rocker has worked with multiple platinum and Grammy winners such as Arrested Development, The Roots, Public Enemy and blues maestro Chris Thomas King in addition to multi-platinum music icon Nile Rodgers of Chic fame, who produced hits for Madonna, Sting and Duran Duran, and recently signed MYSELF to Sumthing Distribution.
MYSELF's groundbreaking debut is released on his own boutique label and fashion house Couture Music Wear, Inc. Recorded at the legendary Chung King Studios (formerly Chung King House of Metal), which has been the home for many Def Jam classic recordings (Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, LL Cool J), Protest In Disguise contains sixteen turbocharged high-octane tracks. The lead single "God is so Funky" is a soulful melodic/hypnotic catchy song that truly rocks the dancefloor. "Where We Going?" is a blues drenched world beat 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 let's off - it's a fast and furious adrenaline anthem that delves into the hardships of relationships. Protest In Disguise showcases musical dexterity and lyrical complexity, evoking MYSELF's strength as a tremendous songwriter, producer and lyricist. The songs burn slowly and ignite intensely, encouraging the listener to "Keep The Fire Burnin'."
MYSELF will be performing Monday, June 30th in celebration of his album release at Rehab, NYC. The first 25 guests will receive an exclusive autographed copy Protest In Disguise.
