Born in B'HAM, AL, OMN!PAX (OPX.
) MJ DARLING is a producer that has been in the entertainment industry since childhood, singing in a family praise group, in high school in the 1990s as a boy-band member, and then professionally in 1997, as a singer/songwriter, rapper and even a "song-and-dance guy" for theme park production groups.
Marcvs became interested in producing EDM in the Summer of 1995, after being influenced as an adolescence by his art-schooled cousin, another MJ from ATL,GA who regularly gave him bootleg Acid House mixtapes since the mid-1980s.
MJ, the artist, currently writes for/in the persona of his fictional character, Darl!ng (which means "beloved" or "the only one"), who is a jack of all trades, has a huge heart, and is a great help to his friends, and is given the title of "Omn!pax" when he one day by a tree, stumbles upon what soon becomes his STARSH!P (as one awaits their "ship to come in" or the "sweet chariot, comin' 'fore to carry ye home").
The STARSH!P allows them vivid and lucid expression of this creative dimension that they've found themselves in, often pulling people from out of the mundane world (and from out of the danger of self-loathing/destruction) and into the superlative realm, without realizing it.
OMN!PAX is a title meaning "Grandmaster" or "one who is capable".
In actuality, the "starsh!p" is his band/crewmates' DAW, light/sound system and core business model, called the UN!FIED SOVEREIGN STARSH!P [USS]: SERAPH M-4026.
The music within MJ's STARSH!P collection logs his and their creative journeys across vast galaxies of styles, under assumed character/stage names, within the ANOM!LE/STARSH!P "creative universe" (which includes a storyline, art and music collection, graphic novel and coloring book, web show, and one day, the motion picture).
GALAXIES OF STYLES - From the Hip-Hop, Drum n Bass and Dubstep of Mars, to the House music and sensuality of Andromeda, MJ shares his many artistic experiences from STARSH!P's excursions beyond, introducing us to new favorites with every track!
