San Antonio, TX. 5'8", 29 years old, Latino Male, Hazel Brown Eyes, 170lbs.
BIOGRAPHY: I was Born and Raised in the Streets of San Antonio, Texas. I grew up in a neighborhood called Heritage, on the Westside. It was a Hard Life, Avoiding Gangs, Drugs, and Violence. Everyday we stayed together, prayed, played, and try to live a normal life. But, San Antonio, is not a Regular City. Only an hour and a half away from Mexico, a lot of corruption spilled out into our streets. Recruiting young soldiers to take part in a major crime wave of real mafia organizations, and drug cartels. So, as a Teenager I saw more chaos than the average teen, and I figured out a way to stay away from this madness, by Picking up the Microphone in 1998. I started recording rap music, because that was my passion, growing up I was influenced by; Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, SPM, Jay-Z, Nas, DMX, Eminem, Chamillionaire, Royce Da 5'9", etc.. Basically who ever Kept it Real, and Express themselves through Rap Music, with Good Beats, and Lyrics, I Idolized them. I started recording with Off Da Hee Productionz, with DJ Brain in a Garage Studio in San Antonio, TX. We try to form a group named ATM, which stood for "All The Money", or in espanol, "A Toda Madre" (all of your mother's love) which means to Have It All. We made a Few Good Songs together, dropping our Debut Album called "The Eclipse" in the year 2000. With our #1 Hit Song called "Ride with Me", that got a Few Spins on the Local Radio Station 98.5 The Beat in S.A.. Well, things didn't work out the way I planned. Some of the members in my rap group fell off, and became addicted to drugs. So, I had to part ways to do my own thing. During this time, I've already been trying to survive in my City. I had a lot of friends that passed away, and family members. Around 20 to 25 close friends and family went to be with the Lord. So, I decided to take a different route. I got Married and Settled down, and dropped back to recording only one song a year. It was Tough, because my Wife was terminally ill with a disease called Lupus. She was in and out of the ER in the Hospital about 30 times a year, with constant pain and sadness. I was there for her, in every way possible, and gave her my all of my love, and my soul. We were married for 6 years, till my wife passed away in the year 2007. I found her lifeless on my bed, She passed away because of a certain medicine that gave her a fatal side effect. It was Devastating, she had a Son that I was raising on my own. Well, the only way to cope with the Pain was through making music. So, I jumped back in it full throttle, and made a song for my wife called “Paradise”. And I found out shortly that it was the medicine that took her life, and I filed a Law suit for Wrongful Death, against the makers of that medicine. And a year later I met this girl named Grace, that went through the same pain that I went through, she lost her husband. But, it was a worst situation than Mine. Her husband committed suicide in front of her and her two daughters. It made me realize that we’re not alone out here. When you think you have it bad, well somebody’s got it worst. So, we started to to vent with each other. It turns out, that she was best friends with my cousin, and our lives were connected in a deeper way than usual. She is now my Fiancé, and my heart when it comes to making Rap Music. I won the case against the makers of that medicine that took my wife’s life. And I turned my life around, completely. I connected with His Majesty Entertainment, and rekindled my Relationship with DJ Brain. We composed a few songs together in 2008, with a few Rap Artist’s that have a Big Reputation in Texas, such as Rob G., Kyle Lee, Question, and Skitso. I also made, 2 San Antonio Spurs Anthem’s in 2008 & 2011, that got a lot of Publicity from FOX News, and News 4 W.O.A.I. In 2008, They made a collage video of Spurs Highlights while my song called “Spurs the Dynasty”, played in the Background, on FOX news, and a talk show called San Antonio Living. I did it again in 2011, and I made A New Spurs Anthem called “Do U Believe”. Well, San Antonio Living asked me to Perform on LIVE T.V. on January 24th, 2011. And FOX News asked to perform on their morning talk show FOX News First on Feb. 23rd, 2011. On Feburary 22nd, 2011, I was Also fortunate enough to meet Alkino Childrey, who manages the music of one of the Rap Artist’s I grew up listening to, Royce Da 5’9”. Who I Featured on My New Hit Single called “Still Reppin”, which is in the process of a having a Music Video Made, and taking it all the way to MTV, MTV2, BET, and VH1. With 2 New Albums on the Way called “..ON A SILVER PLATTER”, and “MOST CONTAGIOUS”, Which are due to be released in April 2011… I’ve Recorded over 400 Original Songs from 1998 to the Present time of 2011, and I’ve Sold over 10,000 Copies of My Former Albums.
