"The artist you've never heard of with the music you weren't waiting for..."

What started as a bucket list item became a full blown recording project.

This Toronto Area father of 2 is a full time musician.  He yearned to explore deeper his love of hip-hop. Self producing song by song his catalogue soon boasted over 65 original instrumentals.

Enter MaZ.  A former drum student, he became the Jessie to Athair's Walt. A studio wunderkind, MaZ meticulously recorded dozens of "test" tracks, smoothing out Athair's nascent flow and crafting what would become the Athair trademarks.

"Student pushing the teacher" Athair boasts on the title track of his debut album, Late Bloomer.

Look for the duo to be busy with mixtapes, EP's and recording projects in 2017.

Late Bloomer drops April 1st, 2017.  iTunes, Google Play and Spotify.  Get it!
