Rodrigo Laviña is known, above all, as the MC (rap singer and lyricist) for several bands, although his musical activity also includes forages into other fields, and is a selector, producer and promoter. He has always been mainly engaged with hip-hop and reggae culture, adopting a clear social and political position in all his activities.

Since 2004, with Pau Llonch and Joan Riera, he is a member of At Versaris, the best-known Catalan rap group on the scene today. The band have recorded several discs and have performed live at festivals like Hipnotik, Cruïlla and the Mercat de Música Viva live music market at Vic. Laviña also forms part of another band, Extraño Weys, in which, besides rapping, he also attends to more strictly musical duties, such as sampling and creating loops.

As a selector, he is a member of The Rigodonians, a group that unearths and plays vinyl records from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. He is also one of the organisers of Say It Loud, a festival devoted to Afro-American music and culture. Finally, in the field of education, he has led writing workshops as well as activities focused on rapping and music production, always seeking to educate against racism and homophobia.
