MUSIC ASSISTS ME IN PORTRAYING MY PASSION; INTRODUCING MY ART AND MY CRAFT, AND I HOPE THAT THE PUBLIC WILL ONE DAY SEE WHAT I SEE AND FEEL THE SAME AS I DO. NEGRO WAS BORN RAYMOND ALEXANDER ERAZO IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK ON AUGUST 27TH, 1989. BORN INTO A DOMINICAN FAMILY, MUSIC WAS ALWAYS AROUND ME; WHETHER IT WAS MY MOTHER BLASTING THE HOUSE STEREO OR MY SISTERS CONSTANTLY LISTENING TO HIP-HOP & R&B. AT THE AGE OF 9 I REALIZED THAT MUSIC WAS WHAT I WANTED TO DO. I KNEW BECAUSE MUSIC PUT ME IN A ZONE SO DEEP, IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF IT AT THE AGE OF 10 I JOINED A NEIGHBORHOOD RAP GROUP. IN THIS GROUP, I WROTE VERSES FOR OTHERS AND MYSELF. AS THE YEARS PROGRESSED, I SOMEWHAT DRIFTED AWAY FROM MUSIC BECAUSE I FELT DISCOURAGED; I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG TO ACTUALLY GET NOTICED AND HAVE THE CHANCE TO SHOWCASE YOUR TALENT. IN 2005, I CAME BACK INTO THE MUSIC SCENE. THIS TIME, AS A PRODUCER, MY DREAMS OF BECOMING AN ARTIST WERE PUT ON HOLD FOR A LITTLE BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE THE MAN BEHIND THE SCENES. I DIDN'T REALLY LAST LONG AS A PRODUCER NOT BECAUSE IT WASN'T EASY BUT BECAUSE I COULDN'T STAY AWAY FROM THE PEN AND PAD. I JOINED A GROUP WITH A FEW FRIENDS FROM JR. HIGH SCHOOL CALLED “LOS FINOS”. THIS GROUP WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE GROUP IN BROOKLYN BECAUSE GENRES HAD SWITCHED FOR ME, THE GENRE WAS NOW REGGAETON. AT FIRST IT WAS REAL DIFFICULT BECAUSE I WASN'T ACCUSTOMED TO WRITING IN SPANISH, SO WHAT USED TO BE EASY FOR ME IN ENGLISH BECAME THE MOST DIFFICULT THING ON EARTH IN SPANISH. AT TIMES I WANTED TO JUST GIVE UP BUT WHEN MUSIC PLAYS SUCH A BIG ROLE IN YOUR LIFE QUITTING ISN'T AN OPTION. AS TIME WENT ON, I BEGAN PRACTICING WRITING IN SPANISH AND IN JUST A FEW MONTHS MY GROWTH WAS AMAZING. NOW, IN 2007, I CAN GLADLY SAY THAT IM PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE ARTIST AND WRITERS IN TODAY'S UNDERGROUND SCENE OF REGGAETON. I STILL HAVE ALOT OF MATURING TO DO AS AN ARTIST AND WRITER, BUT MY PROGRESS EVERYDAY IS UNDENIABLE. MUSIC TO ME IS AN ART AND IF THIS IS AN ART THEN I CONSIDER MYSELF AN ARTIST. I’M WORKING HARD TO PERFECT MY ART, AND MAYBE ONE DAY MY DREAM OF SELLING OUT THE GARDEN WITH MY LABEL MATES (MY FAMILY) WILL ONE DAY COME TRUE. CON EL NEGRO SON LOS QUE PUEDEN NO LOS QUE QUIEREN.Layout made by wupsioded
