Marley The Messenger

Lakeland, FL  USA
March 07, 2004
Greetings and thank you for visiting my soundclick page! My name is Marley Montano, and I perform and produce hip-hop music under the emcee alias, "The Messenger." I have been both hosting and judging emcee and breakdance competitions for the past 10 years and I was one of the founding members of an organization known as, The Hip-Hop Collective. In addition to my solo career, I have been members of such Florida-based hip-hop & funk fusion bands as, Voice of the People and Semi-Soul. Currently, I am producing music for several talented hip-hop artists and bands, and of course recording new material of my own. If you are looking for production, I will hook you up for whatever you can afford! To find out more about dope hip-hop in the southeast, visit: www.themessengersblog.com
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I love playing at the Hard Rock in Orlando, Florida but Common Grounds in Gainesville, Florida (my hometown) is forever my favorite place to perform!
Your musical influences
I'll name a few hip hop specific ones really quick: KRS-ONE, Black Thought, Masta Ace, Big L, Common Sense, , De La... There are others, but these are the biggest influences as far as emcee's are concerned.
