Born in Hackney, East London, M.Artz is a man with a powerful story to tell. Speaking from a place of reasoning and truth his poetry stirs emotions through his animated, melodic, thought provokingly conscious storytelling that is witty, whilst going straight for the jugular. 

Drawing inspiration from poet Gil Scott Heron, movies, music and real life, M.Artz produces poetry that is both clever and relatable to many. Not afraid to be political M.Artz has performed atReclaim Brixton, Take Back The City, The Floacist Presents FLO at the Juno Bar in Shoreditch, Soulful Sundays  , Who's Got The Hitz? (3rd place finalist), LYP Radio and numerous open mic spots.

M.Artz's journey is one of purpose. He describes his style as "Melodic Poetry". Choosing poetry as his weapon of choice because of "the flexibility it allows me to play with and manipulate words". M.Artz incorporates music into his narrative, adding depth and dimension to create something unique. 

His first live performance was in front of an intimate audience Upstairs at the Ritzy in Brixton. Fast forward two years and M.Artz closed out 2015 on a high by performing to a sold out audience of over 3 thousand on the 13th + 14th December, opening for multi award winning duo Floetry at The Electric in Brixton.

M.Artz will be releasing his debut EP 'Grown' early 2016.
