My name is JEROME L. BARNES.My artist name is Mr.Grimm.Family and friends know me as MUNCH.Grimm has a meaning behind it which stands for Gangstas Really Innovate My Music.Thats because I grew up in the gangsta rap era.Dont get me wrong i love some old school rap its just that I grew up in the gangsta rap era.When N.W.A ran the air waves.I started rapping when i was 10.It all began with poetry.The minute I realized that poetry was pretty much every genre of music mixed up i began rapping.By the time I was 14 I formed a group with my nephew called GRIMMLOKZ.My nephew called himself Papa Lokz at that time hence the name GRIMMLOKZ.We began recording in the begining just fooling around.By the time I was 17 I seen that it was time to try and get serious so we began to look for record labels.We were lucky and fortunate enough to audion for Luke records in Miami.We actually recorded a song there but they were so backed up with other artist nothing really happened for us so we moved on.We always looked at it as a great acheievement though.That helped feed our determination.So we went to Slip N Slide which is another Miami based record label.We finally got the chance to audition but we were not prepared enough for the occasion.We did not have original beats at the time and I guess they just didnt like it.Thats when we started doing talent shows.We won about 5 different talent shows,but it didnt really help us get exposure.We started going to night clubs looking for gigs (obviously now of age).We sang a few times at clubs but still really not getting the exposure we needed.Shortly after that I went to Bogota Colombia and began to persue my music career over there.I did shows over there in clubs such as Gavana.Soccoro,Zion,amongst others.I have done some modeling nothing major.I have done acting for a movie called Travel Paradise directed by Simon Brand which is a very good director.I have done so many things to do with music I could write a book but this is my bio so I wont get into to everything.What I will say is people that has heard my music apreciate what I do.Im worried about the ones that dont hear my music.I wish that everybody in this world could hear my music and they dont have to like itI ONLY ASK THAT THEY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE ITS AN ART.Anybody who has read this bio this far I would like to ask GOD to bless you for me because you are someone special who just showed me that APPRECIATION that i spoke of.Thanks
