Ringgo Ancheta (San Diego, 1988), better known by his stage name Mndsgn (pronounced “mind design”), is an American record producer and singer-songwriter.

Born in San Diego to Philippine parents, Ancheta was raised in South Jersey. When he was in middle school, he started playing organ in a gospel church, before being introduced to hip hop and beatmaking by his older brother, who rapped and made beats and who gave him the stage name Mind Design, which Ancheta decided to write without the vowels.

He then left Jersey to attend the Institute of Audio Research in Manhattah, where he refined his bedroom-studio beat-making, before moving to Los Angeles, CA. In 2014, he signed to L.A. label Stones Throw Records and released his proper debut album, Yawn Zen,, that year.

Ancheta has been part of the beatmaking collective Klipmode (formed in 2007 alongside Suzi Analogue, Knxwledge, and Devonwho) and underground hip-hop duo ​Vivians (formed in 2015 with The Koreatown Oddity). Between 2014 and 2015, he hosted a morning web-show on Boiler Room called Breakfast with Ringgo.

He runs DIY label Akashik Records, which he co-founded in 2015 with his partner, artist & videographer Alima Lee and musician Sofie. Regarding the name of the label, he stated:

The name came about when a friend of mine had tipped me to the Akashic records, which is an ethereal location one can access through a trance state. It’s said to be a library where all living experience and intentions are archived. You can also visit an experienced ‘seer’ to have your own personal Akashic record read to you.Ringgo Ancheta, better known by his stage name Mndsgn (pronounced “mind design”), is an American record producer and singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, CA.
