Mel Riv
BIOGRAPHY
Hip Hop recording artist Mel Riv is revamping his image in efforts to reveal his truest self, musically
and personally. Formerly known by the stage name Kyzier Kash, Mel is no newcomer to the music
industry. He is still maintaining the hunger and motivation he had as when he wrote his first rhyme.
Mel was raised in Kingsborough Projects, located in Brooklyn, New York. He was inspired by his
surroundings, as well as other artists from his neighborhood.
“A lot of successful artists came from Brooklyn. Some of my favorites like Smooth da Huslta, Biggie
and M.O.P. Being around those artists when I was growing up, it really inspired me to work hard so
that I can also be an example that people from where I’m from can also do it and succeed”.
Once signed with Stone World Music, Mel has learned a lot about the music business through his
experiences. With goals to form his own record label in the not so distant future, Mel has never been
more driven and determined. Mel has also received a lot of support from industry heavyweights such
as DJ Kay Slay. His singles can be heard on popular radio stations Hot 97 and Shade 45. No
stranger to the recording studio, Mel has also had the opportunity to collaborate with the likes of Mysonne, Rah Digga, Cory
Gunz, Joel Ortiz, Sheek Louch , Five The General, any many others.
As Mel records and prepares to release a new album, his focus is on creating a body of work that
will both entertain and provoke thought, maybe even change. He also continues to perfect his craft
and his stage show performance performing at popular venues such as Stadium Nightclub (DC)
and BB Kings (NY), among others.
“‘MY CITY’ is one of my new songs that I wrote because I know it’s hard and when
you’re in this "Concrete Jungle", you want to change and do right, but when you are accustomed to a certain lifestyle and
income, it can really be a battle trying to stay in a particular lane. I think a lot of people will relate to this song”.More than just a
name change, Mel Riv continues to grow and learn more about himself along the way. Documented musically for the world to
hear, the best is still yet to come.
