“Mic Savvy. Savvy has called Raleigh, NC home for nearly two decades, has worked closely with many of the area’s local artists and musicians, and is changing the music scene one track at a time, with the goal of bringing hip hop back to what it used to be. Recently Carolina STYLE Magazine caught up with Savvy to talk about his music, life, and upcoming projects.”

— Marissa Huggins, Carolina Style Magazine

“Downtown Raleigh boasts some impressive live music and if you’ve been out and about, you’ve likely encountered Mic Savvy along the way. Savvy has called Raleigh, NC home for the over 16 years, has worked closely with many of the area’s best musicians and has served as a mentor to many up-and-coming artists on the Raleigh music scene.Mic Savvy is known by all as a positive, talented, multifaceted artist who works hard to bring all types of musical genres and talents together to form a united front. You can always find him in the center of the musical action: whether he’s in the studio producing, hosting a beat battle, performing his own tracks or joining some of Raleigh’s finest musicians on the stage. Not just a hard working musician, Savvy is a self described “proud husband to my muse, the beautiful JaBobbie and father to a brilliant, handsome toddler man named Nathan Alexander, and his half-brother Maxwell Coltrane”.”

— Amy Lee Roth, Social Magazine

“10 Artists That Could Be on Next Years"Hottest MC" List. 10. Mic Savvy – Between dropping an album (“Year of the Dragon”), performing countless shows with live band More Rhythm and leading the entire Raleigh Hip-Hop scene, Mic Savvy is definitely ready to take his already impressive movement to the next level.”

— Angelo G(TakeoverNJ.com), TakeOverNJ

“There’s so much more of the Savvy story to be told. We look forward to the new material and recommend catching him live to get the full experience. Regardless of your musical taste, Mic Savvy brings something for everyone to enjoy and vibe to.”

— Amy Dren, Social Magazine

“‎Anthony 'Mic Savvy' Parham is the vine that weaves through all genres of the local music scene in Raleigh. Get to know a little more about the man behind the rhymes.”

— Haarvy Aardvark, Facebook comment

“ Giant Ups to the homie Mic Savvy. If you don’t know Savvy and his antics, then you don’t know NC Hip Hop. This cat is a pioneer of a movement that a lot of newjacks try to emulate & fail. If you need distribution and are DOPE, then holla at this man. If you are lucky enough to be in the Goomah family tree, you share a bloodline with Method Man, Brooklyn Zu, Peedi Peedi, Kaze, MindsOne & more. By the listen of this joint, his upcoming project with UK emcee, Cryptic, is going to be a certified banger. It drops in March, so stay close, cuz I will be sure to post links when it does. Until then: Make sure you download “My Life” for FREE here… ”

— Kenny Hopkins aka Big Hop, WhoisBigHop.com

“Mic Savvy or just “Savvy” has been a staple and fixture on the regional and national scene, the two tracks here are new ones, set to be released on the Full Length coming out next year. Check them out, they are undeniable. We are moving into Mic Savvy’s day, so get on board now. ”

— Brad Diefer, Evo-Recordings.com

"Mic Savvy left me stunned, stoked, and wanting more at a recent Raleigh gig...Part wordsmith, part raconteur, and definitely 100% center cut, bad ass Master of Ceremonies... In fact, I suspect he is a Hip Hop cyborg that has time traveled from a musical future based on the innovations he displays to the masses..." Jeff "Scotch" Wallace - Mumu Tutu

— Jeff "Scotch" Wallace- Mumu Tutu, Raleigh's Finest

“He's an emcee, he's a producer, he's a musician, he's a flat out, balls to the wall performer. You can catch him on the Flower stage with multiple bands. The only guy that is called for, by name, to come out of the crowd and spit some free-style lyrics with the band. ”

— Jamie Saad, Black Flower Bar dotcom

“Mic Savvy is Triangle Hip Hop at it's absolute best! In all the years I spent in NC. I never encountered a more dynamic MC. In my opinion, he far surpasses any rapper I have ever heard come from the area.”

— Grape Juice Scott, ReverbNation

For those of you have not had the pleasure of knowing my friend, David Leighton Marzetti, he was the former, and extremely talented, drummer of Sleep Control (now known as Young Cardinals) and an all around incredible person. Dave was the kind of friend that I hope everyone gets the opportunity to have at some point in their life. For those of you who have had the opportunity to know Dave- you know that there just aren’t many people in this world with his heart, spirit and talent. In his memory, the David L. Marzetti Memorial Music Trust was created. The David L. Marzetti Memorial Music Trust is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide musical instruments and lessons to children who would not otherwise be able to have them. The foundation is an annual sponsor of Raleigh’s Community Music School percussion program. Since 1994, Community Music School has provided high quality, professional music education to Wake County, NC children from economically disadvantaged situations. CMS provides weekly, private music instruction to students for just $1 a lesson. Research tells us that children who study music do better in school and in life, and students indicate that arts participation motivates them to stay in school. The skills gained through music instruction, including self-discipline and the ability to analyze, solve problems, communicate and work cooperatively, are vital for success in the 21st century workplace. In lieu of traditional birthday celebrations this year- I will be hosting a fundraising event at Spy Raleigh on Sunday, November 11th beginning at 2:00pm. There will be FREE food, booze, silent auction, raffle prizes and wonderful music from some of Raleigh’s most talented artists- Young Cardinals 100 Yorktown A Tinn Djinn DJ Mars Eddie Mic Savvy Spy will be donating 15% of all bar sales during the event directly back to DLM Music Trust... so drink up! There is a suggested $10 donation at the door of which 100% will be donated. You may make a donation or purchase tickets online at: dlmmusictrust.eventbrite.com Please come out, spread the word, and bring friends! If you have something that you would like to contribute to the event or silent auction- please send all inquiries to: Stefanie@spyraleigh.com **Special thanks to our sponsors and contributors: SpyBar Raleigh (www.spyraleigh.com) Mars Eddie, Inc (www.marseddie.com) NCRL (www.ncrepleague.com) SmokedOutNFried Catering (www.smokedoutnfried.com) Sound Write Recording Studio (www,soundwrite.tk) Young Cardinals (www.young-cardinals.com) North Carolina Theatre (www.nctheatre.com) Chris Peck of Fair Trade Tattooers (facebook.com/fairtradetattooers) 100 Yorktown (reverbnation.com/100yorktown) A Tinn Djinn (revernation.com/atinndjinn) A Poe Art (www.facebook.com/apoeart) Mic Savvy (reverbnation.com/micsavvy)
