Taiwan Barber

CEO & Founder

Taiwan Barber is the visionary leader behind Heir Mixleplix, driven by a singular mission: to level the playing field for independent artists and labels worldwide. Seeing the gap between DIY distribution and major-label success, Taiwan built Heir Mixleplix to give independent creators the keys to the kingdom.

By securing powerhouse partnerships with Universal Music Group, Virgin Music Group, and Trevino Music Group, Taiwan has ensured that being "independent" no longer means being "unsupported." His focus is on providing artists with the same global infrastructure and "Step Marketing" power—radio, TV, and press—usually reserved for the industry's biggest stars.

For Taiwan, Heir Mixleplix isn't just a distribution company; it’s a launchpad designed to give every serious artist the chance to compete on a global scale while keeping their creative freedom.

Mudd aka Jimi Rain

Head of A&R

James Bagley, professionally known as MUDD, also known as Jimi Rain, carries a story carved from survival, grit, and unstoppable ambition. His journey begins in the heart of South Philly, where life hit hard and early. Raised between group homes, foster care, and unstable placements, he learned to navigate chaos before he ever learned to dream. Those early years weren’t just rough — they were a battlefield — and every scar became part of the armor he wears today.

MUDD, the first artist ever signed to Protect Ya Neck Records, the Wu-Tang Clan enterprise — a stamp of authenticity and legacy that few artists can claim. Under the guidance of John “Mook” Gibbons, he stepped into a world where legends weren’t distant icons; they were collaborators and peers. He shared stages with Method Man, Redman, Cypress Hill, The Pharcyde, Tha Alkaholiks, and more — artists who shaped eras and defined culture.

Today, James Bagley — MUDD, Jimi Rain — stands in a new era: a powerhouse songwriter with a style unlike anyone else in the industry. He’s not just the voice on the mic anymore; he’s the pen behind the magic. His writing is cinematic, emotional, unpredictable, andsharp.
