My real name is Andrew Nielsen, but I'm better known to the internet as the rapper and producer MC Lars . I helped pioneered the genre of nerd rap in 2003 and have spent the past 13 years as an independent artist touring music venues, comic book stores and lecture halls around North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, spreading the geeky gospel of hip-hop with songs about the best classic literature, video games, advancements in tech, social media and popular culture!I've released 5 full-length albums, 6 EPs, one mixtape, three compilations and dozens of music videos, and have had a tons of fun doing it. I want to release even more exciting, topical, regular content for my fans, while providing them with exclusive songs on the regular. Thus, I've partnered with Patreon by creating the!

Those who pledge will have a proprietary glimpse into my songwriting process in that you, the loyal Lartian (Lars fan) will haveand can join me on the songwriting journey that I'm always on in-between official album releases.
