Growing up with limited opportunity, Curtis leaned heavily on rap music as a therapy to dream, escape, and empower. He founded MPWR LLC and MPWR Records (read 'Empower') to create music that empowers others. Over the next year, Curtis is releasing three albums: (1) MPWR India, the first album where Indian locals rap about social issues they face, (2) MPWR AI, the first rap album written by artificial intelligence, and his debut mixtape, (3) the NERD album, introducing a new genre of 'smart rap' to normalize tech and AI in hip-hop to empower those otherwise may not be exposed to such content.
