MMWOS talks to Sahr Dumbar

Compared to Busta Rhymes and Ludacris, Sahr “Dummy” brings his unique personality into the mix when it comes to producing his own music. Pulling inspiration from the devastating loss of his wife in 2012, Sahr was motivated to live life to the fullest and pursue his dream and passion for the music industry.



MMWOS: What is your earliest memory of music? 

Sahr Dumbar: Listening to Michael Jackson's "Beat It". In what way did that experience encourage you to become a hip hop artist, song writer and producer?

MMWOS :How will your music change the current state of the music industry?
