Producer, artist, and entrepreneur MeccaGodZilla was born in Brooklyn and raised in Long Island, New York. Although you may remember him as RAVAGE or RYU BLACK, MeccaGodZilla is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. As one of the founding members of the Hip Hop Union G.A.ME (the Grassroots Artists MovEment) he revolutionized the music scene, and continues to do so today.

Currently MeccaGodZilla is the CEO of Manafest Vision Media LLC. During his decidedly high profile career, MeccaGodZilla has worked with world famous corporate clients when he produced the music and soundscape for NIKE AIR TROUPE’s Sneaker Battle website and performed for Armani Exchange Japan. He’s also collaborated with Eric Bobo of Cypress Hill, Sick Team of Jazzy Sport Japan, and modeled for the Tokyo brand Applebum. As a recording artist, he received over 100,000 downloads for American Monsta: The Jay-Z American Gangster Remix Album. MeccaGodZilla also completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to create the “Hip Hopera” style album titled “PERFECT 天” the RYU BLACK Musical.

MeccaGodZilla owes his unique talents and abilities to hard work and dedication. He was also briefly mentored by m1 of Dead Prez and was once a part of the New York City super group The Monsta Island Czars. Each of these priceless opportunities has shaped MeccaGodZilla into the successful producer and entrepreneur that he’s become today.

While many record industry executives are in the business only for their own benefit, MeccaGodZilla loves to help others. He recently completed a kickstarter campaign for his debut musical that donates a portion of the proceeds to Ovarian Cancer Canada. He also helped created the Domo Arigato Fund that donates a portion of his album sales and live show profits to The Japan Society NYC to aid Tsunami victims in Japan.

MeccaGodZilla truly has a global vision and continues to work with artists from all different nations. He will continue to RAVAGE (Restore Artistic Vision And Growth Everywhere) with his uncanny ability to secure sponsorships and collaborate with artists and brands worldwide. Read more on Last.fm.
