One last look at our Male Artist of the Month (January) Mc Mighty

Born in Harare , Mc Mighty had a huge interest in music listening to different genres. Growing up he developed a strong passion for Dancehall and Reggae music which became the influences for his musical style.

Mc Mighty started getting involved in music professionally in 1999 when he was in a group called” NEW VISION” .This was his turning point as he began to enjoy music from an artist’s point of view due to the various performances the group had. The group grew in strength as they toured around most of the country. The group recorded their first Album in 2000.

From that point onwards writing songs became his passion. .Unfortunately a few weeks after recording I had to leave Zimbabwe for Dublin hence he did not get the opportunity to witness the success of the album first hand.

A few Months after his arrival in Dublin , Mighty met up with a group of young Hip Hop MCs who were free styling to a mellow beat at a home studio in Capel Street, Dublin. He decided to just go with the flow and started to rap on it .The audience in the studio was impressed by His talent and asked him to feature on a Hip Hop song they were recording called Sons of Jah. He accepted their offer and wrote his first ever 12 bars for this collaboration which people loved.

After that experience he ventured a bit more and featured on more songs with the Lads. During this time he worked on collaborations with other Hip Hop Mcs in Dublin as well. His confidence, style, flow improved as he was working with different artists and being exposed to different styles as well as techniques. He then got an offer to join the lads he had met initially and they started a group which they called the “Geneseas”. They performed around Dublin in most pubs and night clubs and were the main act of every gig we went to.

He was with the “Geneseas” for 3 years and during this time they produced one album which was a success .A little while after the release of the Album in 2006 the “Geneseas” split up. During his time with the Geneseas, MC Mighty met Laidback, a producer who had made a few instrumentals for the ‘Geneseas’ and they got along very well .After the split, Laidback and MC Mighty decided to work on an album together. The album would be would be a mix of Hip hop and dancehall but with more of a dancehall feel to it. The instrumentals Laidback came up with were incredible and MC Mighty wrote lyrics to match.

Here he is now .Having finished his first album (“Move to da Beat”) as an independent Dancehall- World music Artist which was released in both Ireland and Zimbabwe. This album is said to have been a big challenge as he was bringing a totally new genre and flavour which is a blend of sunny vibes mixed with a unique refreshing flow. MC Mighty is still on his musical journey, and is rumoured to be working on a second album.
