Born in Ohio, lived in 3 different time zones in his life, Merlyn Mann, aka SoulReader has been influenced by music from birth. Born in 1982, his mom was a devout clubber, and was always on to the up and coming dance music trends. Then as he grew up into his teenage years, he grew into his own style of dance music. September 19, 1999 was his first dance event, at the age of 17, and from there, he knew what his life would be. Circumstances beyond his control led him to a young life on the streets of Hollywood. Taken in only by ravers, his life was immediately changed from what it could have been. The music that he heard, the music that moved him would later be the only reason he had to stay alive. He realized that without the love of the ravers, he wouldn't have survived the 8 year tragedy that befell him. He found a reason, and a means.. he found a way to save himself.. and hopefully at least 1 other person in this world. That's why he does what he does. He's happy knowing he's impacted at least 1 person for the better.
