Bio

The early days

Mickey Rishi Chiua Nagessersing (“MRC”) was born on the 1st of December 1987 in the city of our nation’s capital Amsterdam, and grew up in Purmerend not far from Amsterdam. He got the nickname MRC from his father even before he was born, and is an abbreviation of his full name. At the age of three, MRC got his first drum kit from his parents and soon was discovered he had an exceptional talent for music. Not knowing then, his passion for making music would only grow stronger.

The rough

In 1993 his parents divorced and MRC became the product of a broken family and much hardships. During this period you could usually find him roaming the streets late at night and sometimes getting himself into some sort of trouble.

In the rebound

Around the passing of the millennium MRC decided to take a new direction and become more serious about his music. He gathered around friends with similar interests from whom he could learn and share concepts and ideas. But soon even they could not keep in pace with MRC’s eagerness to evolve. MRC started to take risks to obtain his goals. Fast tracking his way through life, he build his own recording studio (“Monster Recordz”) and went to the states, New York, to become a sound technician/-engineer. There, at Night Owl Studio’s, he got his trades from Paul Snook, a very high ranking engineer.

When he returned to the Netherlands, his mind was made up. He started to record albums and shoot video clips in high pace. Ever growing and evolving. He grew to be an artist of all genres: Hip-hop, rock, classical; all he incorporates into his music.

Present

After another trip to the states, to record tracks for his album, MRC gets discovered by Ear-play and soon a deal is signed.

“We are thrilled to work with each other“, MRC says, “We’re going to release my first mix tape, record a lot of video’s and make tons of music. It’s all I ever dreamed of. And every day I’m raising the bar a little higher; to become even better.
I produce my own songs, write my own songs and even record them too. Ear-Play runs the promotion, and I can’t wait to see what the future will bring.”

“MRC is very talented and we can see his dedication. There seem to be little stopping him from reaching his goals and to make it to success.” – Ear-play
