Rajiv Münch (born 29 July 1989), better known by his stage nameMunchi, is a Dutchproducer andDJ of Dominican descent, born and raised inRotterdam, Netherlands.[2] He is credited to have made "the first truly original work" formoombahton, taking "the sound to the next level"[3] and being the originator ofmoombahcore.[4] Even though Munchi is credited mainly for moombahton, it was his versatility and unique production style that brought him into public attention.[5][3] Notably producing a wide selection of genres and incorporating these elements in his music.[1][6] This is best represented in theMurda Sound debut onT&A Records, consisting of a wide variety of genres doing Munchi's versatility justice.[7] In December 2010 Munchi was featured with 3 tracks onM.I.A.'sVicki Leekx mixtape,[8] and in July 2012 onAzealia Banks'Fantasea mixtape, with the track "Esta Noche."
Munchi started making music in 2004 when his brother bought himAcid Pro.[5] He met future collaborator David Heartbreak viaMySpace in 2009. After Munchi mentioned Dave Nada's Moombahton EP, Heartbreak wanted to learn more about the genre and invited him toCharlotte.[5] While touring theUnited States in March 2011, Munchi suffered aseizure caused by anintracerebral hemorrhage. After learning of Münch's condition, fellow producers DJ Ayres,Tittsworth and Dave Nada organised a fundraiser "to pay for surgery, medication and flight home for the non-American insured producer".[9] He spent 9 hours in coma and 11 days in the hospital, but when noticing the overwhelming support it inspired him to recover faster during 2011.[5][10]
