Cliff Notez Biography

Prolific collaborator and award-winning multimedia artist Cliff Notez seamlessly manifests a mix of hip hop, jazz, folk, soul and R&B that's been likened to "Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly, blended with the paranoia of Radiohead's Kid A."

Their music reveals the repercussions of trauma, exposes the realities of the Black experience, and shares an intimate journey toward healing. Heavy lyrical themes are often juxtaposed with uplifting sounds: bright horns, sparkling keys, snappy percussion, and glowing guitar riffs. Cliff's art is the perfect visual accompaniment for all of these themes, creating work that is both emotionally challenging while layered with colorful, playful imagery. 

Passionate about social justice and amplifying Black stories, Cliff Notez has worked hard to give back to their local community and to lobby for inclusion. Currently an Assistant Professor at the Berklee College of Music and Tufts University-- and having previously taught at Harvard, MIT, Emerson, and Northeastern University-- Notez shares their industry experitise in college classrooms teaching classes ranigng from Song-Writing to Film-Making.

As the founder of the digital media company HipStory, Cliff Notez brought hip-hop to one of the largest art museums in the world. Their programming for the Late Nite series at the Museum of Fine Arts created an opportunity for rappers to perform at one of Boston's most prestigious institutions--giving the genre access to cultural conversations it is often left out of.
