A-HA! Records was founded by E. Grizzly and Marko Level in 2008. A-HA stands for “artists helping artists” because it started off in Miami as a group of artists helping each other with DIY shows, recording, producing, mixing, promoting etc. We have grown through out the years, we book and promote all around the country but it’s still just a bunch of friends who help each other with their music endeavors. We don’t sign new artists. We’re not going to produce, mix, promote or book any artists we don’t know. If you want to get involved just come by one of the shows and show love.
E. Grizzly is an audio/visual artist based out of Philadelphia and is the lead vocalist in the band Felipe Pupo. He specializes in combining genres such as hip hop, punk, metal, noise, Caribbean rhythms etc. and incorporates his music into his street art as well.

“The real pleasure in listening is from beginning to end. When’s the last time you could say that about a whole album? That’s how you know this shit is real. Grizzly doesn’t pull punches, and his lyrical work is intelligent and thought provoking.” Abel Folgar Broward New Times

“Felipe Pupo explore the placement of culture in this current American society. Knowledge of one’s history paired with contemporary context splinters into schizophrenic urges. And as each generation is its own nascent definition. The fury of this exploration is done under the fetters of an Anglo-defined system. E. Grizzly and Labenski provide the soundtrack. And it fucking kills.” Newnoisemagazine.com

“The approximately fifty five minute – thirteen track album, threads across stages of calypso, metal hammer and hip hop with each piece offering something different. Whilst, as a result, each piece can be played in isolation – allowing Felipe Pupo to run its course finds the listener having been taken on a wide reaching journey with the different ideas that appear during the course of the album and more fully appreciate the conceptualization of the release and thereby providing the complete context.” Emergingindiebands.com

“I’m not a blogger I just write alot” I really liked that. Just thought I’d let you know.
I’m with you on this !!!
Me too! Except you’re summoning the alot monster (hyperbole and a half).

Hey! Do you know of any poetry nights in Miami? I’m searching
There’s a bunch actually. The best in my eyes are Stone Groove at the Vagabond on Tuesday, Words and Wine which I just realized isn’t going on right now which sucks. You can google it and see the next one. It’s really good. Churchills on Monday is good and the Literary Cafe always does open mics. All very good.
Wow!
Quite an adventurous life you lead.
I try. Adventure is a high priority for me. Hope all is well.
