I've been playing shows, producing music, and hosting events, under the emcee alias, "The Messenger," since roughly 1998. Since then, I've also been a member of a couple of Florida-based hip-hop/funk fusion bands, to include: VOICE OF THE PEOPLE (Gainesville, FL) and SEMI-SOUL (Lakeland, FL). In 2000, I helped to start a student run organization at The University of Florida, known as The Hip-Hop Collective. Over the years, I have appeared as a host for many of the Collective's events, to include hosting "Soul Cypher," and judging "The Emcee Olympics." In 2010, I started an documentary-style interviews series known as, "Verbalize with The Messenger." Currently, I'm getting ready to launch a new album (02/02/2012) that will ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT SHOWS AND EVENTS I PERFORM AT!! Also in February, I will be announcing a new alliance, and a new studio album that I'll be recording and filming at a local Gainesville studio. I hope you'll continue to visit my blog, and I encourage and ask that you please share the stories you find here!
Peace & Love, Marley "The Messenger" Montano
