My Parents Favorite Music

Steffen Messinger (born October 19 1982), known as Steffo, is an American underground hip hop artist that performs under the moniker My Parents Favorite Music.

MPFM began as a group formed in 2000 when Steffen alongside friend and co-founder Matt Steller entered their annual high school battle of the bands in late 2000 as a Bloodhound Gang cover band. They later left the physical band and continued to produce music on their home computers over the next few years. The group gained a small bit of local notoriety within their community by releasing an independent album on burned CD-Rs and playing shows within Flint, MI and the surrounding areas. Conflicting schedules and time constraints led to the separation of the group in 2004 shortly after their second album was released.

With the advancement of social networking sites like MySpace and community based podcasts, Steffo used the opportunity to resurface and resurrect the group name as his own stage name. In 2007 he re-released the group's first two CD-R only albums with new artwork and updated sound quality as a way to get funding for his upcoming first solo album 'Testing the Waters'.

My Parents Favorite Music has performed shows with Nerdcore hip hop acts Beefy, MC Router, and YTCracker.
