My music is my life, says the Halifax MC. My life lessons. Everything I've learned I try to translate that through my music. Anonamyss was surrounded by music growing up. His father was the creator and founder of a number of legendary Canadian bands, including the Stytch In Tyme, Everyday People, and Molly Oliver. Anonamyss' interest in hip hop developed throughout his early teens. Inspired by the words and music of artists like Masta Ace, Nas, Rakim, Dr. Dre, Common and many more, Anonamyss would soon put pen to paper, and the rest is history. His flow is smooth, his lyrics personal, and his beats highly energetic. A gifted writer, producer, and performer, Anonamyss has shared the stage with some of Canada's most celebrated hip hop artists, performing alongside the likes of Classified, RnB sensation Lamar Ashe, Universal Soul, Kardinall Offishall, The Rascalz, AZ (of the Firm), Masta Ace & Edo G, Slaughterhouse and many more Apart from performing and recording, Anonamyss is passionate about producing and creating opportunities for local artists to display their talents. He established Muzikovermatter, a record company designed to promote homegrown hip hop. Muzikovermatter supported some of the brightest lights on the east coast urban music scene, and also put back together and released hip hop outfit Mad Craz (Skoo Boy, Unknown, Short Shane, & KnuckleHead aka Tyrone of the Trailer Park Boys). Anonamyss' aspirations around promoting local talent would later result in a 2005 compilation called The Broken Tapes. The project saw Anonamyss collaborating with artists like Classified, Mad Craz, White Mic, DJ Jorun, and many more. Anonamyss continues to sharpen his skills as an MC and producer. His Debut album (called "DAYDREAMS" Paradox book 1) is slated for a March 2012 release and shows Anonamyss incorporating live musicians into his brand of music as well as collaborating with some Legends of the hip hop world on a few songs. The album "PARADOX" (Disc 1: "Daydreams" Disc 2: "Nightmares") has 33 Unreleased songs from the last 9 years Featuring guest appearances from: Masta Ace, Termanology, Medevil, Boombap Saints, Mad Craz & More. Disc 2: "Nightmares" is slated to be released shortly after DayDreams in October 2012. With every album I'm coming up with a newer sound, says Anonamyss. Not just hip hop, but elements of reggae, funk & soul, rock & roll, and just everything. My music will never have borders.
