MyVerse “Exclusive Interview”
It was a privilege to have a chance to interview MyVerse in Los Angeles Ca back in April 2013. Truly a one of a kind MC who is super DOPE and humble at the same time. From her live show presentation to her whole Hip Hop catalog she clearly has a place amongst the best of the best of female MC’s. MyVerse represents all elements of Hip Hop and we are proud to say she is part of our UG Hip Hop community.
MyVerse, was born and raised in Orlando, Fl by her mother and older brother. Her mother, a strong spiritual Latina, rooted her up in the church. To ensure that MyVerse flourished her creativity, her mother enrolled her in ballet, choir and band. Growing up MyVerse had a fascination with writing stories. At the tender age of 12 she began writing poetry, and developed her skills as a poet through out her adolescent years. By 15, she found Hip-Hop to be a culture and spirituality that strengthened and coincided with her religious upbringing. Being raised with a musically talented brother, who 8 years older, exposed her to music she wouldn’t normally hear on the radio. Ranging from Christian Hip-Hop, Reggae Drum-n-Bass. This was the seed that cultivated MyVerse’s growing love for good conscious music. The moment that changed her life was when she decided to attend a military school at 17 to graduate high school. There she discovered the art of Spoken Word and began her first performances as a poet. MyVerse’s unique style of poetry and her passion for Hip-Hop effortlessly transitioned her into becoming an Emcee. This inspired her to enroll as a full-time journalist student to expand her craft as a writer and assists her task of carving a mold in Hip Hop music.
