Every artist needs a story, at least that’s what they say. Some stories are incredible, others forgettable. To make an impact, an artist needs to offer something inspiring, moving and out of the ordinary. Muneshine has a story to tell.

Since then, Muneshine has established a strong and loyal fan-base worldwide with releases in the United States, Australia, Korea, The United Kingdom, Brazil and The Netherlands.
Not only has Muneshine released popular projects overseas, he has collaborated with a number of popular hip hop favourites, such as: Pete Rock, Sean Price, DJ Spinna, Buckwild (D.I.T.C.), Guilty Simps …

Muneshine has earned his reputation among these and other artists for his integrity, standards, dedication, and desire to improve and inspire.
In 2011 Muneshine is hard at work. Already releasing his new EP 'Larger Than Life' with Dutch producers Vinyl Frontiers, and producing (and mixing) D-Sisive's newest album 'Jonestown 2: Jimmy Go Bye Bye' there are no signs of slowing down. He is currently working on his new solo full length album 'There Is Only Today' and production for Maestro, Shad, Sweatshop Union, Madchild, Toolshed and many more.
An ambassador for Canadian hip hop, Muneshine has gained experience in both his own country and abroad. He has established himself as a respected artist, and continues to live his dream of creating and promoting honest and timeless music without compromise.
