The Grouch is a founding member of the Living Legends crew, a collective of MCs and DJs from the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Japan and Europe. He emerged from the Bay Area intelligent hip-hop scene in the mid 90s. As a beat maker, businessman, and most notably, MC extraordinaire, he has built a reputation for being at the forefront of independent music. His down to earth, heartfelt approach to writing and producing draws listeners in and makes it clear he is not your average “underground artist.” He has sold over 150,000 units independently and performed for hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide.
