Shamanix

 
Shamanix
Matt Toussaint aka Shamanix is a shaman and artist originally from upstate New York and currently living in LA. He's been pursuing his vision to change people's lives by sharing the experience of transformational states of consciousness for 12 years. This vision has come to its full expression as Shamanix -- a fusion of hip hop music and the ancient art of shamanism. Matt was first introduced to hip hop music during the height of the 90s hip hop era. Intrigued by the art's ability to share deep and meaningful stories, experiences, social consciousness, and knowledge through intelligent lyricism, he was immediately drawn to artists like Killah Priest, Talib Kweli, El P, Cage, Mos Def, Eminem, Rakim, and Nas. With a background in short story writing and poetry, he began composing lyrics and songs as a way to express, understand, and give meaning to his own experiences. During this same period of time, Matt underwent a spiritual awakening that radically changed his entire perspective and way of living life. His focus turned within, embarking on an intense study and exploration of spirituality and heightened states of awareness. Through a series of spiritual visions and synchronous events, he was guided to the Peruvian Amazon to participate in traditional shamanic ceremonies. It was here that he met Master Shaman Hamilton Souther (INTY). After several return trips to Peru and shared visions that confirmed his calling, Matt began to formally train as a shaman under Hamilton's guidance. As his shamanic path deepened, Matt started to see the power and capacity that all of music, and specifically lyricism, has to affect and guide positive change. This mirrors his shamanic work and the hip hop connection was immediate. While continuing to write lyrics, record, and develop his style, Matt earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology with a focus on shamanism in the modern world. He now works with clients through his private shamanic practice in the Los Angeles, CA area. ( ) Combining years of shamanic experience and training with his passion for hip hop as a form of expression, Matt unites these two paths as Shamanix. As a shaman and hip hop artist, he offers a unique experience of music, spirit, consciousness, and transformation. He signed with Source Independent Entertainment (SIE) in 2013, with his first project entitled Initiation due out in January 2013.
