megiapa: Intentions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
megiapa got her start messing around on turntables with her brother. He introduced her to sampling when they were kids, and together they’d make songs inspired by rap radio, finding their voices through mimicry and play. megiapa retained that sense of childlike wonder as she started producing and recording alone, developing a style that emphasizes whimsy and improvisation.

The Los Angeles-based producer, rapper, and singer was born in 2004, by which point the network’s sidelining of music was very much underway. Laguna Beach, The Ashlee Simpson Show, and Pimp My Ride all debuted that year, joining a programming slate already stuffed with reality fare.
