Muni Long is the MTV Global PUSH Artist for the Month of June

MTV PUSH has named Grammy-nominated songwriter and rising R&B star Muni Long as its featured Global PUSH Artist for the month of June. Long has spent more than a decade developing her style and writing countless hits for stars such as Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, and more. The rising star is now ready to bring her considerable talents to her own music, and bring romance back to R&B. Muni Long joins MTV Push to talk about emerging from behind the scenes of the industry, her breakthrough project Public Displays of Affection and how the best songs can be written on a whim-or even while doing the dishes.

On what it means to be a songwriter for other artists:
- “As a songwriter, you’re there to serve. You’re helping someone else bring your vision to life. That’s a tough pill to swallow.”
How love and kindness brought inspiration to Public Displays of Affection:
- “I am a lover. I prefer to be kind. I believe in fairytales. The reason her Public Displays of Affection EP worked is because love was absent in R&B.”
How she hopes her success will inspire the next generation:
- “I want to be a catalyst for little Brown girls. You can be whatever you want.”
