SUMMARY:Maz & Bencils
DESCRIPTION:Maz is the bridge that links Alternative Hip Hop and the music he grew up on in São Paulo\, Brazil. As a son of a DJ\, much of that influence bleeds through his music today through neck-snapping production and an out-worldly harness of energy in his lyrics. Whether he is experimenting with the sounds of Alternative Rock or staying true to his roots with Brazilian Funk\, his music nowadays breathes a sense of self-awareness and maturity that invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and backgrounds. From performing at Gov Ball 2024 alongside Kidd Revel to intimate art gallery performances in Boston\, his ethos of unwavering energy is constantly evolving as his creative approach is just as much about self-understanding as it is about the expression of the process itself. \n\n\n\n@maztypebeat everywhere\, @madebybencils everywhere

From rock/r&b love songs like Stop Playin’ to introspective spiritual r&b/pop ballads like Open Up\, De’Jhaun’s music will be an inspiration to every generation currently residing on Earth. In April 2024 De’Jhaun started in the Michael Jackson Ensemble at Berklee as a lead. It has always been his dream to pay tribute to his favorite artist. In May 2024 he participated in Berklee’s infamous Commencement Concert which honored Q-Tip\, Gilberto Santa Rosa\, and Ledisi; whom he had the honor to pay tribute to. The next day he graduated from Berklee with a Bachelors Degree in Professional Music and is elated to continue his musical journey as he begins releasing groundbreaking music.
