Mani
Welcome to the main stage, Los Angeles own, Mani (pronounced Mah-nee). The 16-year-old triple threat started rapping at the age of 6 picking up the family skill and talent from his mom who was in the rap group, Queens of Compton. Early on in life, he learned the value of hard work, pursuing his goals and teamwork.
A versatile performer, his new school mixed with 90's sound sets him apart from his peers. Likened unto his sound, his performance delivery and stage presence captivate a wide range of fans from the ages 12-28, thanks to a determined mindset.
That mindset gained him membership into the National Honor Society, the Chris Paul award for most assists in a single basketball season, and a competitor slot on Lifetime's Emmy-nominated TV show, "The Rap Game" Season 2. Mani's high energy stage performance and the undeniable audience response to his look at me, now look at you" performances solidified the win and a record contract with Jermaine Dupri's super label, So So Def.
That win sent messages to the music industry that he was the one to look out for and now they're looking. Check out his current singles "You Thought" and " Look at Me, Now Look at You".
