Los Angeles, California based artist Morrison Machiavelli was born and raised in the Twin Cities mecca of underground Hip Hop. His music can be described as melodic-infused bravado with strong lyrical content. The sound explores insight from past and the present audibly packaged within a modern approach to Hip Hop music...
Morrison offers content and services as a Hip Hop artist and instructor. Actively mentoring artists, primarily youth, he works to bridge the gap within Hip Hop culture. As a Zulu Union member and practitioner Morrison works to uplift others as well as create free-form music not compromised by limitations or censorship, while maintaining his own moral code and values, as expressed within his music.
The Underground Affiliates band was formed by Morrison Machiavelli in 2024 for playing both original music and cover songs spanning a wide range of influences including Hip Hop, Jazz, Neo-Soul, Alternative Rock, and beyond. The band includes members Michael Fierro (drums & percussion), Dirty Dom (bass & saxophone), Stevie M. (keyboard), and Pedro Aquino (lead guitar).
The Underground Affiliates are led and accompanied by Morrison Machiavelli and include various musicians collaboratively for the intent and purpose of creating meaningful music transcending generational limitations.
