We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ma$erati Money a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Ma$erati, appreciate you joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
My album Ma$erati Money Beyond Belief is an audio documentary of my life. The good, the bad, the ugly, the laughs & fun times mixed with the mental physical and emotional effects of growing up living with spina bifida and being raised in minority poverty stricken neighborhoods in The Bronx New York. This is meaningful to me because it sums up my life to date, musically and sonically giving listeners an up close and personal experience inside the mind of Ma$erati Money.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I am a hip hop arist/ motivational speaker from The Bronx NY. I was born with spinal bifida, a spinal chord defect, that confines me to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. My journey as an artist started in 2013 with the release of my debut titled Highbridge To The Hamptons followed by Highbridge To The Hamptons Volume 2 in 2015. From 2016-2020 I released a slew of singles, music videos, mixtapes and was featured on several tracks until the release of my 1st ALBUM titled Ma$erati Money Beyond Belief in 2023, with a documentary of the same name soon after.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
For me the most rewarding aspect of being an artist is to be able to make music that people can relate to. I wanna create music that’ll make you smile, dance, party, have fun and enjoy life. It’s such a reward to perform and the audience knows every song word for word and the feeling of being on a stage and express myself artistically with no restrictions is second to none.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I’ve built a following of over 10k followers by being myself. Authenticity and originality is the key to my success. Being confined to a wheelchair is not something people normally get to see and experience on a daily basis, so I think of ways to keep people in tuned with me and my social media platforms by releasing weekly freestyles and interactive reels with my fans and followers.
