About

Metis' arrival on the hip-hop scene is as exciting and unconventional as the path that brought him here. Raised in California's Bay area, his journey has taken him from street playgrounds, to scholarships at the highest levels of Division 1 basketball, through an Ivy League education at world-renowned Brown University where he studied Economics and Philosophy, and later through to Wall Street to where we find him today; a rising Hip-Hop star whose sound is as unique as his story. 

Whilst working as a trader in the world's premier investment bank, he secretly birthed a career in Hip-Hop under the alias Metis, rising to prominence in two of the world's most challenging industries simultaneously, unbeknownst to colleagues and fellow artists. Every day on the Trading floor, in suit and tie, with two computers and six screens, he navigated the financial markets in one hand, while keeping a pen and pad of lyrics hidden under research reports in the other. Eventually, small poetry cafes gave way to international stages and studios, as Metis perfected his transformation from business suits and leather shoes to his patented flat caps and braces in the back of London taxis 

It is 8 mile, but in the Square Mile. 

ALBUM: Metis' debut EP 'The Path' is planned for release in October 2009, with a full-length LP planned for release in early 2010. The album is being executive produced by President of Greensleeves Publishing and Records, Olivier Chastan. Featuring a wide variety of production and artistic collaborations including, among others: (USA) - Dilated Peoples, Izza Kizza, K-Salaam. (JAMAICA) - Sizzla, Busy Signal, Demarco, Shane Brown, Curtis Lynch, Peter Morgan. (FRANCE) Akhenaton. (UK) - Talent, Aynzli Jones, Blaqmale, Fadah Noah, Mevi, Misty Dubs, Formula, Richie Rich 

BOOK: Metis has recently finished a novel based on his incredible story. He is represented by literary super-agent Ed Victor (U2, Eric Clapton, Alastair Campbell, etc...) 

FILM: With firm production offers already on the table, Metis is currently in discussions surrounding a feature film adaptation of his book and story. More updated information will be made available as and when possible. 

LIVE: Metis will be based primarily in London for the remainder of Sept 2009, you can catch him at Bungalow 8, 93 Feet East, Proud Galleries, Cafe de Paris, Cargo and others. Check back here for updates!
