MNIB (My Name Is Billal) is a musician from Manchester, England, U.K. He's been a recording artist since 2007 when he first started out as a member of 'Educated Thugz!' alongside band members from Angola, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa & Zimbabwe. 'Educated Thugz!' would later rename themselves to 'School Fo' Hardknockz!' before disbanding altogether in late 2011 allowing for Billal to chart a course as a solo musician.

.

Notable highlights include supporting US Hip Hop legends 'The Sugarhill Gang' as well as the UK legend 'Giggs'. Billal was also the 'Somewhereto_ North West' ambassador for his city of Manchester, which took him to the English capital of London to perform at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Billal is also a foundational member of 'The Manchester International Roots Orchestra' who are now known as the 'MIRO Ensemble' and are now looking forward to getting the show back on the road as the pandemic restrictions begin to ease.
