When a wide eyed yet novice university graduate released her 2014 debut album “Live Through Me,” she embarked on a journey to develop a new sound and style in the Hip-Hop genre. Her self-produced tracks were filled with patience and experimenting with the unexpected in terms of both sound and flow. Grinding and regrinding since that ambitious debut lead now Houston based rapper MJ to release multiple singles leading to her comeback EP, "The Way Things Were" in November of last year. Now in 2021, she is determined to be the next star in the rap game.

Born in Redondo Beach, CA and raised primarily in Pensacola, FL means that MJ does not abide by those tempted to box in her talents. MJ grew up on the sounds of old school singers such as Luther Vandross and hard hitting Southern rap that ranged from Outkast to Cash Money records. She is developing her own vibe with the assistance of the soulful yet hard hitting Houston, TX music scene. After moving to the home of the Rockets in 2015, she followed up her debut with a hard hitting mixtape entitled “MEEZUS”. Both works can be listened to on her SoundCloud. The mixtape is a more cohesive effort expanding on both the social and personal turmoil MJ experiences in her lifetime.

Collaborating with producer Rob the Matrix has allowed her to grow her own flow on her own terms for her 2020 singles entitled “Falling”, "Houston Strong," and "Coming For That Spot". "Falling" hooks you on a hypnotic trance with confidence over a Caribbean infused beat. While "Houston Strong" and "Coming For That Spot" are lit and hard hitting for the city. The singles lead to her EP "The Way Things Were" which has eight tracks dealing with social activism, feeling good, and more. The EP has garnered a considerable amount of attention especially in the Houston area.

In May 2021, she released “Moonlight”. The track is a smooth mix of Hip-Hop and R&B. Through heavy playlisting and organic promotion the single has garnered over 2000 streams combined on all platforms. Currently she is gearing up to release her next song “Not Girl Summer,” accompanied by her debut music video. She is a rapper determined to leave her mark on the music industry.
