Making Your Mark with Mistery

There can’t be that many graffiti artists who have thrown up pieces all around the globe and also happen to have Masters degrees in Fine Arts. And there are very few people who have been part of the Australian hip-hop scene for as long as Matthew Peet AKA Mistery.

One of the godfathers of Aussie hip-hop he’s been breaking, graffing and spitting rhymes since the days of cassette tapes. And he can still remember first hearing a song born out of the Bronx New York that made a lot of sense where he was listening in Bankstown, Sydney. From the birth of hip-hop, it’s always been a culture that amplifies the voices of the marginalised and helps people make their creative mark. Where ever you are and who ever you are, you’ve got a mark to make — and listening to Mistery might give you some ideas about how.
