Paul Marz, a first generation Egyptian-American rapper, was born in Staten Island, New York, on October 26, 1985. His love of hip-hop began at the early age of 8. He credits his sister, ten years his senior, for introducing him to hip-hop and artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Onyx, and Notorious B.I.G.
Marz started freestyling during his early high school years and it wasn’t long after that he started recording and performing around NYC. In 2010, he put out his first mixtape, “Welcome to Marz”, comprised of lyrics written in his teenage years. In 2013, Marz’s debut album, “Sword of Sound”, was featured on a number of top hip-hop blogs which helped to establish a platform for him to grow his fan base.
In February 2015, Marz was part of an international tour around Australia called the "Drunken Assassins Tour". It featured Wu-Tang Clan affiliates including The Alkoholiks, Solomon Childs, Zu Ninjas and DJ Rellik. Marz has also performed at SXSW held annually in Austin, Texas.
Amongst Marz's music endeavors is the relaunching of a popular rap battle league called iBattle in Staten Island. He continues to live and perform in his native NYC.
