Mt.Sinai
makes music for those who seek, and those who struggle. He provides a
soundtrack to those in search of peace and light, as well as those who
live in darkness and chaos. Having experienced the extremes of the
spectrum, Mt.Sinai is able to entertain as he guides the listener
toward the calm center we all seek…consciously or unconsciously.
Born in the mid 70’s, Sinai grew up on the lowest rung of the
middle-class ladder, and came of age with punk rock, skateboarding, chaos
& rebellion. But before death or a jail cell could capture him, he
found focus with the help of music and spiritual practice.
A
true student of life, Mt.Sinai is the high school dropout who’s
teachers always said how smart he was. He is that corrupted soul that
sought inner peace instead of accepting the hard earned ticket to hell
that had his name on it.
Through
much study, spiritual seeking, and practices that include eastern
philosophy, meditation, and Freemasonry, Sinai worked to cultivate an
understanding that allowed him to find peace with himself and the world
around him. Always growing and moving forward, Mt.Sinai aims to better
himself and the world around him, while always accepting the moment for
what it is…
For
the past 10 years Sinai has dedicated himself to helping others by
channeling the wisdom from his personal practice and study into his
music, and live performances.
IN SOUND...
"In
the early days it was bass, then screaming in punk & hardcore
bands, with overtly socio-political lyrics. Toward the end of the 90s I
was looking for something fresh, both in music and life. A chain of
events led me to both Hip Hop, and a deeper connection with Eastern
Philosophy. The two casually intertwined as I began honing my skills as
an emcee. As I continued to seek & find, my spiritual endeavors
merged more and more a part of my musical experience. My lyricism
became a form of yoga, I suppose you could say..."
IN SILENCE...
"As
far as paths & practices that lead to Enlightenment, there are a
few that I have found helpful to say the least, and life-changing to
say the most: Eastern Philosophy & Religions in general; Zen; Zen
Buddhism; Gnosticism (especially the Gospel of Thomas); The Teachings
of Jesus Christ; The Teachings of Shakyamuni The Buddha; Vipassana
Meditation; Taoism..."
IN ESSENCE...
"I
prefer to let the lyrics do the talking as far as who I am, and what I
stand for- but real quick, I don't come from poverty, but the very
bottom of 'lower middle class'...my parents worked hard to make sure we
had everything we needed as I was growing up. Because of them I am a
rebel & a seeker."

After
releasing almost 50 tracks on 3 collections called the “Wise Hip Hop
Mixtapes”, Sinai has final brought his vision into focus with what he
considers his debut album: “Beyond Words”.
Beyond
Words bridges the seemingly expansive gap between New Age and Hip Hop
by effortlessly fusing the two worlds that have most influenced the
artist’s personal life. In doing so, he also brings together
generations which often do not see eye to eye, but have much to offer
each other. This is part of Mt. Sinai’s effort to increase
understanding in order to raise the consciousness of ‘the masses’.
