Биография

MuRli is a rapper, producer and songwriter from Limerick, Ireland. He is best known for his work as 1/3 of the award-winning band, Rusangano Family. He’s been writing lyrics since the age of 13 after being introduced to Hip Hop thanks to a friend while in secondary school. He went on to hone his skills over the following decade, culminating in his well-received debut EP, Surface Tension featuring the single ‘Both Sides’ which earned him plays on the BBC, Indie Shuffle and features in the Irish Times, Hotpress and Nialler9 and endorsement by the legendary photographer Brian ‘B+' Cross who incidentally, shot the Artwork photo. In early 2015, Murli joined forces with producer mynameisjOhn and fellow MC, God Knows to form the band Rusangano Family and hit the studio to record the ‘Let The Dead Bury The Dead’ album which would go on to be awarded Best Irish Album of 2016 at the RTE Choice Music Prize Awards. This was followed by national and international tours and appearances at the Eurosonic, The Great Escape and SXSW showcases. As part of Rusangano Family, MuRli has shared stages with international acts such as Girl Band, Snoop Dogg, Run The Jewels and BadBadNotGood. In the summer of 2018, Murli was invited to take part in the PEOPLE festival and residency at the FunkHaus studios in Berlin alongside 200 artists from all around the world, an experience he credits as the motivation he needed at the time to go and work on his solo debut album.
