Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor

"It’s about telling stories with and without words... melodies, grooves, moods, and occasionally, lyrics.” MWALIM’s music: is it soul, jazz, funk, house, rock, or hip-hop? The answer is “Yes”. When you point of entrance into the music industry was as a studio session player, your sense of commitment to a single genre tends to be over-shadowed by the chameleon-like, code-switching requirements of your job. When you make the transition from session player to recording artist, and the sudden need to pigeon hole you become essential, along comes the independent music world to set you free. Dubbed the Godfather of Southcoast Thump & Soul, MWALIM is a leading figure in the multi-genre music movement that is swelling from Cape Cod and the Southcoast of Massachusetts to the world.
