Maimouna Youssef
Maimouna “Luna E” Youssef is a seasoned singer,
emcee, songwriter and poet. The Baltimore native was born into a family
of exceptional artists. She began performing traditional African and
Native American songs on stage with her family at the age of five. At 16
Youssef and her cousin
Omari “AzIz” Forman-Bey, formed the jazz/hip-hop/funk/ band, called
Cirius B. In the spring of 2003 the duo completed the recording of
their independent debut album entitled “Subversive Activity.” She began
stealing the hearts of audiences throughout the U.S. and around the
world as she shared stages and swapped musical licks with such artists
as Angelique Kidjo, Brian Wilson’s band, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, Dead
Prez, Wilco, Zap Mama, Cody Chestnut, Martin Luther, Jill Scott, Erykah
Badu, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli. Youssef rocked the stages of many
renowned venues such as Denver Colorado ‘s Red Rocks amphitheater, New

her big screen debut in Dave Chapelle’s hip hop documentary “Block
Party.” Most recently she has received credits in the Vibe, USA
Today and many other prestigious magazines for her haunting vocal
chorus on the Roots, “ It Don’t Feel Right,” which received a Grammy
nomination in 2007 for best rap song. Youssef is currently in the
studio recording her debut solo album.
