Is Mailer Daemon Too Good For One Genre?

Rapper Mailer Daemon isn't afraid of talking himself up, claiming that no-one can mix “shoegaze guitars over 808 drums” like him.

I feel that my background is really accentuated through my dynamic musical range from alternative rock, to hip hop and EDM. I don't really like sticking to one style or one genre,” he said in a recent interview.

The MC, real name Sina Djavadkhani, credits a range of genres for his ability to combine different music together.

“When I went to school I was really exposed to rock and grunge and that whole kind of movement,” he said. “Then the noughties came around – and of course rock died during that time – so we were exploring new things like the bass culture. Groups like The Neptunes started getting hot and pop music was exciting. It was then that I started getting more involved in the indie-electric movement and I started doing, like, electro remixes for indie bands. It wasn't until the late-noughties that dubstep and a heavy bass culture started emerging.”
