Dany Mensah, born March 5, 1989, better known by his stage name Manix, is a Dutch rapper from Congo, Kinshasa.
Manix has started rapping and singing since he was 15 years old. He discovered his love for music when he took his first step in music class at school. Manix entered the class and was instructed to write a song and choose a melody for it. But he had a much better idea.
He went home and grabbed the mic you use during msn conversations and picked up a beat from Obie trice "No Teeth" and sure enough, he did grab the lyrics from the internet but then, the music teacher was impressed.
Behind Manix is a quiet boy with deep thoughts and because he has been through quite a lot in his private life, he has had many problems where he even fell into the hands of the judiciary. Regardless of the setbacks, he has let go of his past and entered the rap game as a surprise, but still this young man has not been discovered. His inspiration is wide of artists, writers. His tattoo on his right arm is unique and realistic. Its motto is Love Money Music, the meaning behind it is ''Anything that doesn't kill you, makes you stronger''.
His way of conveying text can be off beat or with the beat, he consciously makes that choice because he believes that what is being said should be listened to.
