Mussie Sheikh (also known as Lil Mussie) is a New Zealand entrepreneur, musical artist, and philanthropist, known for his contributions to helping children in poverty.[1][2]

Early Life and Education

Sheikh, of Pakistani descent, was raised in Gisborne located on the East coast of New Zealand. He attended Ilminster Intermediate and later Gisborne Boy's High School, and briefly attended Lindisfarne College, New Zealand for a year as a boarding student.[3] Upon moving to Auckland, he pursued a BSc Honors Science in Chemistry at the University of Auckland where he was also awarded a scholarship.[4]

Philanthropy

Sheikh founded the Bread Charity Foundation with the aim of supporting disadvantaged children in New Zealand.[5][6] Known for organizing New Zealand's largest supercar events, the charity features exotic vehicles such as Ferraris, McLarens, and Lamborghinis to raise funds for mentoring programs, school gear, and sports equipment donations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sheikh initiated the Bread Studios project to provide free mini youth centers equipped with musical studios, enabling children to explore their creativity.[7][8][9][10][11] In 2021 his efforts were recognised being a finalist for the 'Local Hero of the Year' award. [12]

He has also engaged in community initiatives within Los Angeles opening a free musical studio for children in Watts, Los Angeles.[13] [14][15] He also held a music contest for kids at Edwin Markham Middle School with Nike Vice President Tinker Hatfield and Fender CEO, Andy Mooney as judges.[16]

Under his stage name Lil Mussie, Sheikh's music often revolves around social issues and fundraising for his charitable projects. His single "How About You?" discusses the importance of giving and community-building, challenging the notion of tall poppy syndrome prevalent in New Zealand culture. His other notable single "On Me" featured Cleveland rapper, King Chip.[17][18][19][20][21]

Mental Health Advocacy

Having lost multiple loved ones to suicide, in 2021 Sheikh launched a project named ClickCheck for Children, aimed at improving the mental health of over 200,000 children in New Zealand.[22] Developed in response to personal experiences with the loss of close ones to self-harm and suicide, this initiative is a proactive check-in system designed to identify and support children's mental health issues. Schools participating in the program send a survey to students at least once a fortnight to gauge their mental health and provide necessary support based on the responses.[23]
