about

Toronto – Sept 11, 2012 – BOOTLEG CULTURE (LP), the long anticipated release from MASIA ONE & Grammy Award winning producer CHE VICIOUS (Aftermath, Lauryn Hill, Kanye West) released by Muti Music /MERDEKA on September 18, 2012.

“I immediately recognized the talent Masia possessed, she is much more than an emcee. To me, it didn’t matter if she was a girl or Asian, she brought something that I found more interesting to the table, ” explains the records lead producer Che Vicious.

Focused on maintaining the independent spirit of her music, Masia turned down major label interest in her album and chose to release it independently together with Muti Music, a San Francisco based electronic label. In another surprising turn she is encouraging fans to bootleg her music and celebrating the global culture of bootlegging through the albums songs and promotional content. The album is sold with a branded blank CD and an instructional poster detailing how fans can copy the album and share the music with a friend. As well, she is making available the artwork, marketing materials and select acapellas to be remixed by the public.

“The album Bootleg Culture takes back ownership of inspiration, style and sound,” explains Masia One. “I want fans to copy the physical album, remix the music and then share their new creations. I want to remind people not to buy into culture, we are unique, we are the culture.”

Masia One is an artist who has transcends boundaries. In less than ten years, she has established herself as a musical pioneer, visual artist, businesswoman, and tastemaker. Her work blurs cultural expectations, challenges traditional gender norms and continues to gain respect through its seamless blending of political awareness, emcee skill and top-notch sound. Masia has toured internationally, released 10 music videos and continues to consult for major clients in visual and sound design.

Her third album Bootleg Culture features collaborations with artists such as Wu-Tang’s The RZA and Thunderheist’s Isis. The upcoming single Number One features vocals from another great Canadian songstress Graph Nobel (aka Black Molly) and was shot in Jamaica by re known New York photographers Jason G Lewis (Nylon, MTV, Alife) and Alejandro Duran (alejandroduran.com)
