Mantist

Never has the name of an artist been so apt, growing up in Southern Sudan, Hip Hop, MC, Mantist and his crew, No Pain No Gain, know a thing or two about pain. Having lost his father before he could even remember his dad’s face he was sent to live with his alcoholic Grandmother at the age of 6. Because of her drunken state Mantist was often left hungry and had to head out with his 8 year old brother to find food. Music was a release and at the age of 12 he started to write songs. Free-styling in local villages and refugee camps in his native tongue was an outlet for his pain and when he came to Australia he began to write songs that told his story, spoke of hope and freedom. Showing that out of pain there IS gain.
