Apathy was never an option for Lib. Coming from Massachusetts cities Lynn and Boston, the multi-hyphenate is at the forefront of presenting the cities’ strong identities to the rest of the world. Carrying a history of quietly working with the region’s finest across genres as a recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer, Lib has made his mark within Massachusetts music as the studio’s greatest glue guy. As a growing Los Angeles based creative with a stream of releases planned, though, the time to hear his voice is now. Lib’s ability to dance on the lines that separate Hip-Hop from genres like R&B, Alternative Rock and Progressive Metal has carved him a niche in a saturated rap game. His beginnings as a drummer have beaten his path forward, branching off into production, audio engineering and recording artistry scaffolded by veteran musicianship all too uncommon in the age of digitized music. No matter which hat he wears, a credit from Lib is a seal of authenticity. Truly a rose that grew from concrete, young Jarrod-Michael West didn’t always have it easy. “Lib,” a self-endowed moniker, is a derivative of “liberation,” a mission that propels his artistry every day. Whether working on a head-bobbing summer hit or a sensitive heartstring-tugger, songwriting is a catharsis for Lib, with every drop as a step toward who he wants to be.
