Creative director Kiarash Behain recently sat with ‘Fast and the Furious’ star and musician, Grammy-nominated R&B singer Tyrese Gibson on the topic of what sparked his love for the music genre.

In a sit-down interview on the popular podcast show, “Rundown Radio,” Kiarash Behain asked the singer about the origins of his love for R&B. Shockingly, Tyrese responded

“I fell in love with R&B when I used to be at home while my mother was drunk.”

I discovered R&B when I was a kid and when I was just really witnessing my mom go to some of the darkest, most vulnerable and emotional places.”

Gibson has rekindled his relationship with his mother. Back in the early 2000’s, he was seen on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” where he surprised his mother with a new home. Recently, the R&B singer and actor surprised his mother for the second time with another home after being alcohol-free for 11 years!

The R&B genre music came into prominence in the late 1940’s. Many artists have gained massive success in the 70’s and 80’s elevating the genre to new heights. It was mainly in the 90’s where R&B gained popularity birthing many artists and groups that went on to achieve massive success.

Singer Tyrese Gibson has contributed over 20 years to the beloved genre. His 2015 album “Black Rose” granted him his first #1 placement ever on the Top 100 Billboard charts. Kiarash Behain and his company Rundown Media assisted with the success of the album by creative directing the marketing campaign and plan of the release along with the singer.

Tyrese is scheduled to release another studio album sometime towards the end of this year.

MiG Arogan: The Haitian Powerhouse Behind the Spiritual Anthem “Moon Under Me”

MiG Arogan has firmly established himself as a commanding force in the music industry, bringing the weight and depth of Haitian culture and spirituality into the spotlight with his powerful track “Moon Under Me.” This song is not simply a musical creation; it is a bold spiritual declaration and a vivid expression of ancestral strength rooted in Haitian Vodou tradition.

Hailing from Haiti, MiG Arogan combines contemporary rap energy with rich cultural symbolism, carving a unique space where music meets ritual. “Moon Under Me” stands as a testament to this fusion, drawing deeply from the Vodou pantheon of Lwa (spirits) to convey protection, power, and fearlessness.

The song’s hook centers around the presence of Mama performing the sacred work “with the moon under me,” a metaphor for hidden spiritual forces guiding and empowering the artist. Papa Legba, the revered gatekeeper of the spiritual crossroads, “opens doors I don’t see,” symbolizing MiG’s access to realms and protections invisible to others. This connection to Legba asserts a profound control over paths both physical and metaphysical.

Further spiritual guardians emerge in the lyrics: Kalfou, the fierce spirit of crossroads and chaos, “waiting at the edge with heat,” ready to defend or attack; Baron Samedi and Baron Kriminel, powerful death spirits who “laugh when your blood hit street,” representing MiG’s untouchable status backed by forces of life and death. These spirits signal that crossing MiG Arogan or disrespecting his heritage comes with grave consequences.

The song also invokes Erzuli, embodying love, beauty, and pride, along with Simbi, the wise serpent spirit guiding MiG’s style and movement. Ogou, the warrior spirit, tests and arms him, while Damballa offers calm wisdom and balance. The mention of Granne Brigitte, the fierce protector, and the other spirits completes a powerful spiritual armor surrounding the artist.

“Moon Under Me” goes beyond conventional music; MiG Arogan describes himself as “no rapper, I’m a ritual in boots,” emphasizing the song’s ceremonial and mystical weight. The imagery of candles, chants, incense, and spirits evokes authentic Vodou ceremonies that infuse the track with genuine ancestral energy.

By weaving these sacred names and symbols into his lyrics, MiG Arogan not only asserts his own power but elevates Haitian Vodou from misunderstood superstition to a living, respected tradition. His message is clear: “Play with Haitians — that’s the wrong belief.” It’s a warning and a proclamation — the strength of his roots and spiritual backing make him untouchable, commanding respect from all who hear his voice.

With “Moon Under Me,” MiG Arogan asserts a profound cultural and spiritual identity. His music becomes a vessel for ancestral power, a declaration that the Haitian spirit is fierce, unbreakable, and very much alive in him. This song stands as an anthem for strength, heritage, and the unstoppable force that MiG Arogan represents in today’s music and culture landscape.
