My name is MJ Harrell, and I am a filmmaker with a unique vision. Growing up in Gates North Carolina, I’ve always enjoyed photography and had a true appreciation for nature. Growing up, my vision has been limited in my right eye, and as a child, this has allowed me to pay attention to details a lot more than those with perfect vision. I started out as a solo hip hop artist, and eventually became a lead vocalist of a prominent band in the Hampton roads area. We did a lot of hip-hop and rock music, and we even had performances when we brought the two genres together. I’ve been on MTV, BET, and I’ve done numerous shows as a music artist. Deep down, I didn’t share the same passion for music as I did for filmmaking watching my vision come to life as a movie or short film. Upon my arrival to Michigan, I worked numerous jobs that were simply in place to make a living to support myself and my family, but now I’ve taken the step to where I’m focusing on watching my dream come to life and I have been grinding ever since. If you’re looking for a unique performance, a driven director who has a great passion for the art of film then I am your guy!
