As a Music Ethnocology and Urban Studies student at the University of Pittsburgh, MH formed the organic Hip Hop fusion band "the Beats N Verbz" (also known as, the BNVz) in 2004. After winning Pitt's Annual Battle of the Bands, the group received critical acclaim with the release of their 2005 debut CD , "We Blowin' Up," which MH produced and engineered himself. The BNVz continued to capitalize on their popularity by incorporating positive messages into their upbeat party music and independently releasing over 10 follow up EPs and live recordings in 4 years. Known for their vibrant and up beat performances, the band headlined festivals and concerts with Lifehouse, Kid Cudi, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Jedi Mind Tricks, and more. However, it was their rain drenched performance at Pitt's Fall Fest in 2005 that declared them "the Best Band in Pittsburgh" by readers of the Pitt News. However, creative differences led the BNVz to dissolve in early 2010 as MH began to follow his ambition toward new projects.

With the BNVz done, MH began to focus on production and expanding his musical vision in the studio. In honor of his past success with the BNVz , MH added "the Verb" to his stage name and began writing his debut solo album, "Cult Classic," with the support of keyboardist/producer Ben Bromfield. Drawing from his diverse range of musical influences, MH the Verb began bridging the rhythmic foundation of jazz with the new age sounds of electro-pop and Hip Hop to create a fusion of genres. Influenced heavily by Hip Hop pioneers like, The Pharcyde and Slick Rick, MH began to utilize his deep, raspy tone as a vocalist and added singing to his repertoire. Lyrically MH's use of poetic anecdotes, clever rhyme schemes, and intelligent references keep him honest as a songwriter and story teller.

In early 2010, MH the Verb shocked fans when he announced he would be relocating across state to Philadelphia from the Pittsburgh scene which had nurtured his artistry for over 7 years. Celebrating the new and honoring the old, MH shouted "Pittsburgh Soon to be in Philly" as he performed an impromptu freestyle on stage at the 2010 Annual Roots Picnic, joining an all star lineup, including The Roots, John Legend, Vampire Weekend, Mayer Hawthorne, and Jay Electronica. The following spring, MH continued to build on his reputation as an emerging force by winning the 2011 Joker Production's Battle of the Bands. Later, he impressed crowds as the kick off performer for the Philadelphia Film & Music Festival before embarking on his "Classic Cult" regional tour.

MH the Verb released his highly anticipated solo debut, "Cult Classic" for advanced internet download exclusively through his website on Tuesday, August 23, 2011. The album, entirely self-produced, received critical acclaim and MH was called "a whole new movement of Hip Hop" by the Erie Reader. "Cult Classic" features a limited selection of contributions from other artists, including Kuf Knotz, Beedie (of Varsity Squad), Wi.Sh, and MH's tour DJ and former WPTS co-host, B-tips. Producers, Ben Bromfield, Max Swan (of LP Stiles), and El Smooth appear on the project as additional instrumentalist enhancing the cohesive live feel of the project.

Looking to translate the essence of his studio project to a live format, MH the Verb teamed up with Philly-based funk band, LP Stiles for a memorable show at his CD Release Party at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia. The outstanding one hour performance was recorded with plans for a special live EP. The project titled, "The Verbal Experience" is set to be released February 2012 and will feature live interpretations of songs such as, "Winter In America," "Burnin' Up," and "She's My Girl".

After the release of "Cult Classic", MH linked up with friends and frequent collaborators, DJ B-tips, D.menace, and Egg Stone (of the band, Montoj) to form the production team, Diner Tempo. Inspired by the idea of blending multiple genres, live instruments, and sampling world music from South America, Africa, and the Middle East, the 4 musicians currently have collaborations in the works with numerous artists; including a concept project titled, "Medeski's Diner" featuring samples of the jazz fusion band, Medeski, Martin, and Wood. Diner Tempo also performs frequently, where they perform and record live jam sessions with numerous other vocalists and instrumentalists.

Drinking bourbon at a friend's apartment in NYC one afternoon, MH stumbled on a music folder from Pittsburgh beatsmith, Cutty Franks. The soulful beats coming out of the computer speakers demanded MH give the upstart producer a call. After a few correspondents, Cutty Franks blessed MH with a couple of instrumentals which would become the frame work for a new project. The mixtape titled, "Waffles & Whiskey" is set for release in Spring 2012 and features additional production from MH himself, Chuck Mack (PGH), El Smooth (PHL), Chaz Patz (PHL), Czientist (Germany), and more.

MH first began to study audio engineering and music production as a high school student at Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, FL. Soon, MH raised enough money to purchase his first set of turntables and began DJing local parties and school dances. By 2007, MH was Music Director and radio personality at WPTS-92.1fm, the University of Pittsburgh's college radio station. While at WPTS, he co-hosted the popular Thirsty Thursday "Pre-Game Show" with DJ B-tips and organized concerts and events such as, the State of the Union Hip Hop Showcase, which featured national acts such as Wiz Khalifa, The Blend, and Grand Buffet. His success led to a DJ residency at the popular campus club, Peter's Pub, hosting the monthly urban music series, "Soul Food Saturdays" bridging the gap between the student community and the local Hip Hop scene. Currently, MH host a DJ residency at The Grape Room in Philadelphia (Manayunk) under the alias DJ the Verb.

One of the driving forces behind MH the Verb's success has been his ability to combine his musical ambition with his passion for activism. MH sees his Verbal Experience movement as a vehicle to promote positive energy, focusing on creative outlets to empower young people to build a better future by destroying negative behavior. In 2005, he contributed in hosting a post-MTV Video Music Awards party with 'Rock the Vote' campaign in Miami. He also organized Inner-Course (an event to raise awareness for World AIDS day) as a member of the Student Global AIDS Project at the University of Pittsburgh. While touring, MH stays active in the community, organizing events and supporting organizations such as; LiNK (Liberation in North Korea), Barrios Unidos (a California based organization against youth violence), the Financial Consortium of Western Pennsylvania, and the League of Young Voters. MH the Verb continues to use his art as a catalyst for positive and progressive change through his work with Kiva.org, a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty.
