"I am what I do. I am what others need me to be. I am what I accomplish."-NIV New.York City Presents Michael Alexandre -aka-Arsiney, born April 10, 1986 to the times when epidemics came in threes; drugs, violence, and HIV . Although, he was raised in this era, his fate differed. His parents were epidemic-free! In the midst of it all, they introduced him to music such as Quincy Jones, James Brown, and Black Ivory to name a few. His father, a habitual guitar player and mother a soulful listener, gave Arsiney a blueprint to all that he wanted his life to be. Through sound and rhythm, rap became his reason and protest! "All talent needs a home away from home" At the age of 12 he joined a rap group called Relicz , teamed by Ars' manager Ray Graham and Ivan Tibbs. Nevertheless, a leading light took its place, and Arsiney embrace his solo spot .The Relicz parted ways with no hard feelings,and Cypha of the Relicz supports his accomplishments thus far. Arsiney was young and curious beyond his lyrics, and Ivan Tibbs identified his drive. Ivan into Music Production and Ray being a Music Engineer, both introduced him to the production portion of music, and Arsiney excelled! Arsiney's outlet at the time was the studio, where he could release his inner-city facings on the mic. Ray's Headquater studio kept him off the streets most of the time,but living in the streets showed him how to hustle, hearing gun shots made him appreciate life and losing friends along the way made him want to speak. The studio also gave him a safe zone. His love for music shows with each track he records. Arsiney once wrote "WELCOME TO MY WORLD. LOUD, CALM, REAL, COLORFUL, HATE, LOVE, PAIN, STREET. I COULD USE EVERY WORD TO DESCRIBE MY MUSIC, BECAUSE MY MUSIC IS ME AND IT REFLECTS THE THINGS THAT GO ON IN MY MIND. WHEN I PRODUCE I LIKE TO PAINT A PICTURE. YOU SEE FOR ME SOUND IS ONLY 1D TO GIVE YOU 3D I HAVE TO BRING THE LISTENER DEEPER INTO THE MUSIC, ITS MORE THEN JUST WHAT THEY HEAR, BECAUSE FOR ME WHEN I HEAR SOUNDS AND DRUMS IN MY MIND I SEE BACKDROPS AND COLORS AND STORIES BEHIND THEM. SO WHEN YOU HEAR A SONG THAT I PRODUCED IF ITS R&B I WANT YOU TO FEEL THE MUSIC AND VISUALIZE EVERY ESSENCE OF EVERY SOUND IN THE PRODUCTION. WHEN YOU HEAR KEYS BEING PLAYED ON THE KEYBOARD I WANT YOU TO SEE STARS DANCING WITH EVERY RISING NOTE ON THE PIANO. IF YOU HEAR A SOULFUL SAMPLE I WANT TO FILL YOUR SOUL WITH WHATS IN MINES, AND THAT'S REALLLLLLL MUSIC.
