           █   Karanji is a 31-year old hip-hop artist from        █
           █   Detroit, MI who was raised by a single mother on    █
           █   the citys West side. His name, Karanji means a      █
           █   "spiritual guide" or "one who guides." Though his   █
           █   parents were divorced at an early age, he was       █
           █   influenced by both as he grew up. Being raised      █
           █   with an Afro-centric upbringing that taught self    █
           █   -love became an integral part of his music          █
           █   interest and later on motivated him to create       █
           █   music that moved feet as well as spirits. Artists   █
           █   he claims as musical inspirations are Stevie        █
           █   Wonder, Anita Baker, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh,        █
           █   Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind and Fire ,Common , Nas,     █
           █   Tupac, Outkast ,KRS-1, Rakim, X-Clan and Public     █
           █   Enemy. Karanji originally was an aspiring singer    █
           █   who was a member of the Hampton University Gospel   █
           █   Choir while attending there and was also a member   █
           █   in several singing groups while in high school. A   █
           █   turning point came in his life at age 18 while      █
           █   enrolled at Hampton University when his mother,     █
           █   whom he was very close to, passed away from a       █
           █   rare form of brain cancer. Her passing motivated    █
           █   him to continue on at Hampton University and        █
           █   graduate with honors with a Bachelors of Science    █
           █   in Marine and Environmental Science. After          █
           █   graduating from Hampton University, he decided      █
           █   that he would give back to his community the best   █
           █   way he knew how and that was by teaching. So he     █
           █   enrolled at Marygrove Colleges GRIOT program, to    █
           █   become a certified science teacher and received     █
           █   his Masters degree in Education in 2000. As a       █
           █   science teacher on the East side of Detroit at      █
           █   Pershing High School he experienced things that     █
           █   would motivate him to do hip-hop music. As a        █
           █   teacher at Pershing, he taught students who felt    █
           █   no one really cared about the inner city child      █
           █   and the things that they went through. Many of      █
           █   his students did not know who their fathers were    █
           █   because they were either dead or incarcerated.      █
           █   Many had parents who were crack addicts and         █
           █   therefore were being raised by their grandparents   █
           █   and other extended family. Most of his students     █
           █   had never seen anyone in their family go to         █
           █   college and the most common successful people in    █
           █   their neighborhoods were drug dealers. Almost       █
           █   every child in his classes either knew someone      █
           █   close to them who had been shot or knew someone     █
           █   who had shot somebody. Moreover, he saw first       █
           █   hand how most current rap music was encouraging     █
           █   children to aspire to live a negative lifestyle     █
           █   that would damage their communities. All of this    █
           █   motivated Karanji to do hip-hop that would not      █
           █   only entertain but would also inspire change. At    █
           █   first,he sought out and formed a group called,      █
           █   Griot Foundation. This did not work out for him     █
           █   so he set out on his own as a solo artist under     █
           █   his own name. Karanji seeks to shake things up in   █
           █   the rap game and bring a new era to hip-hop. He     █
           █   has nearly completed his first album                █
           █   entitled,"Appreciation" , and hopes to sign a       █
           █   promotions and distribution deal that will allow    █
           █   him to spread his music worldwide. He wants his     █
           █   earnings to be substantial enough so that he will   █
           █   be able to give back to his community in order to   █
           █   make a positive change. He believes and lives by    █
           █   the idea of, to whom much is given, much is         █
           █   expected. "The decisions you make will pave the     █
           █   roads you take"                                     █
           █                                                       █
