Childhood

Mishon Ratliff professionally known as Mishon began his musical journey at the young age of 10. He released his debut CD on Dynasty Records titled “Still Mishon” in 2004. With a supportive family and label Mishon was encouraged to spread his wings.

He has appeared in some of today’s top teen magazines and has appeared on shows such as Soul Train and BET Next. Mishon’s first CD may not have topped the charts but it caught the attention of Hollywood acting Coach and Casting directors Shari Rhodes and Pam Frazier. After his first acting class Ms. Rhodes knew she was looking at a superstar. While working on his next album “Youngsters” he didn’t just sit around. This busy young teen has appeared in ads for AT&T and the May Company stores, guest starred on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he has done voice over work for Lions Gate movie “Akeelah and the Bee,” doubled as a young Lebron James in his Nike campaign and now he is starring in ABC Family sitcom (Lincoln Heights) “which has been picked up for another season” airing in 2007.

Becoming A Singer

This multi-talented teen credits his parents for allowing him to follow his dreams and supporting his career. With the titles singer, actor, dancer, songwriter Mishon is just getting started. Now at age 13, his voice isn’t the only thing that has changed for Mishon. Now back in the studio with producers, Flip Matrix, Dwight Watson and Beat Protectors, Mishon has begun to take a more active role in his career. In 2005, Mishon began writing his own music.

Lending his teen experiences to infectious beats has proven to be a great combination. On his first album Mishon sang of playing video games, and how proud he was of his family. Now, he sings of young love, getting older and teenage experiences. Even though Mishon loves hip-hop and crunk & B he has not let that compromise his love for strong R&B ballads. He has music for the crunk & B lovers but he has not abandoned the real love for soul music.

“We allow Mishon to have control with his music because we want him to feel comfortable,” says Dynasty Executive Doe. In his first single and title track “When I get older” Mishon longs for the day of when he gets older. All young men dream of their first car, dating and having fun and this single shows that you can have anything you want, when you get older. The track "Excuse Me Momma" depicts the feeling that we have all had at one time or another.
