About Me


Click cover to download Listen to the new mixtape


Gallari was born Nov. 20th in the 70's in Akron, Ohio. The product of high school sweethearts- a mother who was a poet and a father who played bass and trumpet- it was only a matter of time before Gallari found himself the lyricist. He was raised in the Village of Green and transferred to Akron in the early 90s. Once attending Buchtel High School he began to earn the respect and reputation as one of the most dangerous freestyle/battle rappers in the city. After realizing he wasnt just rambling over the music with mindless wordplay, his peers began suggesting he start writing structured songs and seriously pursue a career as a professional recording artist.
Gallari has won talent shows and made it to the semifinals at the Northeast Ohio Battle Of The Beasts in September 2003. That event consisted of a field of 64 other MCs from Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In October 2003 Gallari was recruited to audition for 106 & Parks Freestyle Friday. Due to moving around a lot he doesnt know if he received a call back or not. Gallari made it to the semifinals at the Spring Competition at Oberlin College in April 2004. Two months later he had some legal issues to handle... which took four months to handle. Upon release Gallari moved back to Green and enrolled in The Ohio Center For Broadcasting; studying radio and TV with a focus on Sports Media. Before graduating (with a 4.0 GPA) Gallari interned for MTV, Nike, and ESPN. Since graduation he's worked for ESPN as a production assistant.
Currently, Gallari has begun leaking secretly recorded mixtape material that covers a timeline from 2003 to the present. Even including original tracks from 2001 up to 2005. At this time hes recording his official mixtape titled 'I Cant Say What Im Thinking Right Now', soon to be followed by his debut album Hot Air. Stay tuned for more music from this Midwest Motor Mouth.
