The Mighty Om Presents: Guru and the Gangster

Creator of the ingenious web comic “Guru and the Gangster” uses illustrations to brings his lyrics to life!!

What goes together better than peanut butter and chocolate? How about hip hop and comics? Initially William Parrish (Musician and Illustrator) traveled to Spain to study economics in Granada. Instead he found himself pursuing his dreams, meeting and recording with Canyon Cody, Fulbright Scholar and C.E.O. of Gnawledge Records. For most musicians creation stops when the music is recorded. This project, however, took a unique twist. Mr. Parrish, who performs under the stage name Mighty Om, decided to illustrate his music.

“I created the album to speak to people around the world, but I realized that the music needed something special. After reviewing the album I realized what that something was… I needed to turn the lyrics into pictures. That way a person’s native language would not be a barrier to understanding.” The result was “Guru and the Gangster”, a music video illustrated by “Mighty Om”. “Before making music I had been a visual artist, so it was natural for me to take a song and illustrate it verse by verse.”

Mr. Parrish’s mixtape “Grind Daily” was for released February 7th, 2010, with a full length album to follow this summer.
After creating the web comic Mr.Parrish co-founded Hyrogliphics, LLC, a social enterprise in Baltimore, Md that uses art and music to educate and entertain.

In 2008, Canyon Cody was a Fulbright Scholar to Spain, where he organized Granada Doaba, an academic experiment in instrumental hip-hop rooted in traditional flamenco and Arab music. William Parrish (Mighty Om) was part of a study abroad program hosted by Towson University. It was there that the two met and began to collaborate, recording tracks and performing shows throughout the city of Granada. Having studied jazz piano at Peabody Preparatory under Charles Covington, William was a perfect match for Gnawledge Records, a label known for focusing on, lyricism, melody, and quality artwork, not just the boom bap of hip hop drums.
