Every artist needs a story, at least that’s what they say. Some stories are incredible, others forgettable. To make an impact, an artist needs to offer something inspiring, moving and out of the ordinary. Muneshine has a story to tell.

Hailing from Dalmeny, Saskatchewan (pop. 1,500), Muneshine has come a long way. From first hearing hip hop music at age 9, experimenting with words and turntables in his teens, to travelling the world collaborating with legends in his field and inspiring others, Muneshine’s story is unlike any other Canadian hip hop artist.

Muneshine, like most Canadian musicians, was and is by necessity an independent artist. He is a producer, a writer, an accomplished and accredited mix engineer, and a performer.

In 2004, after a year in London acquiring his honours diploma in Audio Engineering, Muneshine moved east from the prairies of Saskatchewan in pursuit of his dream in the nation’s culture capitol, Toronto.

In an industry unreceptive and unsuccessful in marketing and promoting home-grown hip hop artists, Muneshine has found great success outside of Canada. Since 2005, Muneshine has successfully released 3 major label projects in Japan, and contributed production and vocal appearances on countless more. All considered his sales in this territory alone top 25,000. His first release (Phocus – A Vision and a Plan) debuted on HMV Japan’s hip hop charts at #8. Since then, Muneshine has established a strong and loyal fan-base worldwide with releases in the United States, Australia, Korea, The United Kingdom and The Netherlands.

Not only has Muneshine released popular projects overseas, he has collaborated with a number of popular hip hop favourites. On ‘Opportunity Knocks’ (2005) his two singles were produced by the legendary Pete Rock and DJ Spinna. Still working with both artists, Muneshine has since collaborated with a number of heavy-hitters such as: Sean Price, Pharoahe Monch, Buckwild, Guilty Simpson, D-Sisive, Rob Swift (of the Executioners), and many more. Muneshine has earned his reputation among these and other artists for his integrity, quality releases, dedication, and desire to improve and inspire.

An ambassador for Canadian hip hop (and the arts in general), Muneshine has gained experience in both his own country and abroad. He has established himself as a respected artist, and continues to live his dream of creating and promoting honest and timeless music without compromise.
