Leader 1
Leader 1, Bay Area hip-hop artist and frontman of Musical Mutiny. reverbnation.com/leader1
Singing and songwriting began at an early age for Leader 1, but it wasn’t until later in life when he would accept his calling as a musical messenger, delivering thought provoking lyrics mostly about life & situations that people of all ages and walks of life could relate to. His versatile style, capabilities in beatriding, cadence, and most importantly a solid voice (also providing some smooth harmony) are taking hip-hop back to the Golden era, while paving a way for future artists who actually have something to say on the mic and & making futuristic music as the frontman for his live band “Musical Mutiny” that blends genres from jazz, blues, rock, reggae & much more. Peep game!
