Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.

MPHO is a British talent like no other. A genre-defying singer, songwriter and producer, she has enormous global crossover pop potential. Already a name to drop amongst people in the know, MPHO is set to be one of the most exciting names of 2009.
Her debut single on Parlophone/Wall of Sound, Box N Locks is produced by acclaimed maestro, Switch. The track samples the legendary guitar hook from the Martha and the Muffins new wave hit, Echo Beach.
MPHO was born in apartheid South Africa and raised in a racially mixed family of musicians and political activists in Brixton. Her life story is as colourful as her music, but the overriding theme of both has been MPHO's determination to find her own space, to define herself on her own terms.
So right from the release of her first single she's wasting no time in blowing apart some of the stereotypes she's found most restrictive. On Box N Locks MPHO kicks against the boxes people put her in, and the locks they tried to use to keep the lid on her talent. The remix package for the track features mixes by Armand Van Helden, Ocelot and Crazy Couzins.
MPHO's striking debut album, Pop Art will be out in the autumn. Co-produced and co-written by MPHO, the album features a whole host of contemporary producers and writers from Switch (MIA, Santogold), and Future Cut (Dizzee Rascal, Kate Nash, Lily Allen) to Rick Nowels (Belinda Carlisle, Andre 3000) and Rob Davis (Kylie).
Make no mistake, Box N Locks marks the emergence of a new and very credible UK talent. By the way, her name....? It is pronounced Mmmm-poh and you'll be hearing it everywhere!
