Respected by fans far and wide in the Electronic Music/Dance community, Messinian‘s commanding voice and stage presence have brought countless club and festival goers to expect the unexpected. A natural at fusing genres and uniting the masses, Messinian brings a raw emotion and intensity that consistently burns the roof down. His life is all about controlling mics in front of wild crowds and taking the energy in the venue to a higher level. Currently residing in North Philadelphia, he was born into a humble upbringing in Los Angeles, California. He never imagined that his passion and drive for music would one day have him performing in front of jam packed audiences around the globe. Armed with a dream and an uncanny ability to sneak into clubs as a teenager, he was performing at major venues up and down the East Coast before he was legally old enough to get into them. With the endless support of his friends & fan base in Philadelphia and a relentless work ethic…his musical path was paved.

With years of constant touring under his belt, Messinian has grown to become an underground veteran, rocking nation-wide tours sponsored by SONY, DC SHOES, URB Magazine, HOUSE of BLUES, SALEM Cigarettes, RINSE Magazine and more. His busy tour schedule has helped him to see the WORLD many times over. Messinian has brought his art form to Japan, South Africa, England, Austria, New Zealand, Serbia, South Korea, Holland, China, Macedonia, Portugal, Czech Republic, Australia, Costa Rica, Canada, Poland, Singapore, Hungary, Switzerland, Venezuela, Lithuania, Belgium, Taiwan, Estonia, and all over the United States in every major city. Aside from touring year-round with various DJ's and being the vocalist for his own Pop/Electro/Rap projects, Messinian is the front man for the annual "PLANET OF THE DRUMS TOUR" (AK1200, Dieselboy, Dara, and Messinian). This tour has been packing raves and selling out venues for 8 years plus. It is considered the most successful tour in Drum and Bass and it is the longest running electronic music tour EVER. He’s performed at the Virgin Music Festival, Area 2 Tour (Moby, Busta Rhymes, David Bowie), Salem Tour (w/ The Roots, Outkast), Playstation 2 Tour, The Coachella Festival, The Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, The Love Parade, The Bassrush festivals, Creamfields and countless huge festivals in Europe and abroad.

A versatile artist, he’s been in the studio creating tracks with world class producers for Hip Hop, Pop, Rock, D&B, Electro, Soul, and House projects. His recent releases include the house anthem “Baked From Scratch” with Hatiras and DJ Dan, the Drum and Bass smash hit “Barrier Break” with Dieselboy for Human Imprint, and the Dubstep, politically charged foreward for Evol Intent’s breakthrough album “Era of Diversion”. He’s had his music in platinum selling video games such as Grand Taurismo 4 and also used for Skateboarding/Snowboarding shows on cable networks like Fuel TV. He’s performed live on the biggest radio stations from Johannesburg, South Africa to Eastern Europe to Tokyo, Japan.
