Atomic Mr. 5
Atomic Mr. 5 is an American rapper, actor, writer, and multimedia artist based out of Austin, Texas. He produces original music and film content that interweave to tell a broader story in a mixed media format. The musical elements of his work incorporate classic production styles which feature turntables, synths, and live instruments. The lyrics and art draw attention to important social issues and often advocate for introspection. 5’s reconizable artistic style is heavily influence by a combination of modern digital art and graffiti.
AKA The Great Mr 5, Atomic’s long musical journey began as a child. Both his parents played instruments and encouraged the family to learn music. He joined band in grade school and received classic training and exposure to music theory. He went on to become a Drum Major, leading the band and learning to play a variety of instruments. After purchasing his first set of turntables at 15 and learning to scratch, 5 eventually found himself performing hip-hop in the Houston club scene. His love for classic music continued in parallel while he played trumpet in a local jazz band for several years. After a long hiatus from public performance or producing original works, Mr. 5 is back at it with fresh new content.
Atomic Mr. 5 made his rap debut in 2022 with his first single, American Nightmare. He is looking forward to sharing this new musical journey with the world, to creating a community, and to starting important conversations that ultimately lead to change.
