M-DOT (MICHAEL JANUARIO), A FULL BLOOD ITALIAN MC (BORN & RAISED IN EAST BOSTON & REVERE, CURRENTLY RESIDING IN LYNN, MA) HAS GRINDED PROFUSELY, ATTEMPTING TO GAIN GROUND IN AN ERA THAT EMBODIES AN ABUNDANCE OF SO CALLED "RAPPERS." M-DOT, RANKED IN STUFF MAGAZINE'S 2009 ANNUAL "HOT 100," IS STRIVING TO OUT WORK EVERYONE WHILE NEVER BECOMING COMPLACENT. HE UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF ALWAYS GROWING AS AN MC, CONSTANTLY CHALLENGING HIMSELF TO MAKE MUSIC FOR ALL AUDIENCES (NOT JUST STAGNANT TO ONE GENRE). "M-DOT'S GRINDING HIS WAY IN!" WRITING, RECORDING, EDITING, PRODUCING, HIS OWN MUSIC (IN HIS OWN PROFESSIONALLY RUNNING STUDIO THAT HE BUILT), BOOKING OVER A HUNDRED SHOWS WORLDWIDE PER YEAR WITHOUT A BOOKING AGENT (HE HAS TOURED EUROPE, CANADA, ETC.), MAKING HIS OWN FLYERS, CREATING HIS OWN WEB DESIGN, MAKING MAJOR COLLABORATIONS WITHOUT A MANAGER (CHINO XL, JOEL ORTIZ, MASTA ACE, AGALLAH OF DIP SET, GANGSTARR FOUNDATION, KEITH MURRAY & MORE), EVEN EXECUTIVE PRODUCING HIS OWN VIDEOS. ALL ACCOMPLISHED AT A YOUNG AGE, BY HIMSELF, WITHOUT ANY BUDGET OR MONEY WHATSOEVER! HIS LYRICS EVOKE GENUINE REALISM TRUE TO HIS EVERYDAY LIFE, VERY MUCH IN CONTRAST TO MOST OF THE FALLACIES CONSTANTLY PORTRAYED CURRENTLY IN 'RAP. "GOOD MUSIC, RELENTLESS HUSTLE, AND REMAINING AFFABLE AND HUMBLE, HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR HIS IMPRESSIVE RESUME. M-DOT HAS PERFORMED OVER 500 SHOWS, SPANNING ALL ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS, PITTSBURGH, CALIFORNIA, LAS VEGAS, MILWAUKEE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUFFALO (NY), MAINE, RHODE ISLAND, NEW JERSEY, MONTREAL (CANADA). M-DOT HAS ALSO BEEN FLOWN OUT TO TOUR OVERSEAS, PERFORMING SHOWS IN AVELLINO, ITALY (SUMMER 2008), AS WELL AS ZURICH, SWITZERLAND (MAY OF 2009). M-DOT HAS PERFORMED W/ STYLES P (LOX), D-12, DJ PREMIER, DAS EFX, WHODINI (VH1 2007 HIP HOP HONOREES), DJ Z-TRIP, JOE BUDDEN, PHAROAHE MONCH, LITTLE BROTHER, RAEKWON (WU-TANG CLAN), TERROR SQUAD, AZ, M.O.P, N.O.R.E., FREEWAY, BLAQ POET, CORMEGA & MANY MORE INTERNATIONAL ACTS!
