About our founder

Yo, let me hit you with the entrepreneur story of The_MF_Sun, hold tight as we break it down.

The_MF_Sun, been in the game for a solid 25 years, reppin' it since the late '90s. This cat started out with SonyBMG/Red Distribution, where he was workin' with a crazy lineup of over 60 indie record labels that spanned all the sounds – Rock, heavy metal, electronic beats, jazz vibes, gospel flows, hip-hop rhymes, and even some country storytelling. We talkin' Relativity Records, Loud Records, Rawkus Records, Harmony Records, Columbia Records, Epic Records, Arista Records, Ruthless Records, Psychopath Records, Victory Records, Warlock, Broken Bow Records, ATO Records, Metal Blade, Fat Wreck, Ministry of Sound, J Records, and a whole bunch more. He was collabing with some of the illest artists in the game, including heavyweights like Prince, Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, WuTang Clan, Fat Joe, Big Pun, Talib Kweli, Mobb Deep, M.O.P, Gangsta Boo, Slipknot, Three 6 Mafia, The Beatnuts, Dead Prez, Dawkins Dawkins, James Brown, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Nancy Jackson, Denise Williams, Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, Iyanla Vanzant, Xzibit, Funk Master Flex, Common, DJ Honda, and more.

And you know he was learning from the legends too, folks like Laura Girarratano, Alan Becker (Red Distribution), Chris Chambers (Chamber Group)Trevor Jerideau, Peter Edge Clive Davis (J Records), Brian Brater ( Rawkus Records), Sharon Heyward (Harmony Records), Tony Brummel (Victory Records) and a ton more. They schooled him on the ins and outs of this game, from the music to the business, teaching him the art of marketing and how to develop a product that's gonna make waves with the people.

After 8 solid years in the music industry, my man took a different route. Spun records as a DJ in the heart of New York City, using his connects to throw some epic album release bashes with celebrities like Jill Scott and Talib Kweli, bringing the beats straight to the streets. But in 2011, he decided to switch it up and stepped into Viacom. No surprise, in just two weeks, they saw his hustle and offered him a spot in the Licensing department. Back to the grind, working on deals to push small companies with massive fan bases into big retail stores like Walmart and Target, while running large-scale marketing and promo campaigns. He was also getting them deals with specialty toy companies like Funko, Playmates, Neca, and Brickbear, not to mention locking down Nickelodeon properties like TMNT, SpongeBob, Dora, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Diego, Shimmer and Shine, South Park, Avatar, iCarly, Bubble Guppies, Fresh Beat Band, and a whole squad of other sister brands within the Viacom fam.

Fast forward to 2019, and my man decided it was time to hustle in a different lane. He started his own biz, tapping into his family roots, and crushed it in the short-term rental game, making waves in cities like DC, ATL, NYC, and Detroit.

But the thing about The_MF_Sun is he's always been about that service. Nowadays, he's all up in the digital Metaverse, running a passion project called TBOT. It's an engagement brand, bringing people together through their shared love of art and community, and you best believe he's out there finding solutions for real-life problems.

That's the story of The_MF_Sun – a true hip-hop entrepreneur makin' moves and givin' back to the game, all while keeping that beat bumpin.
