He is a young street wise, prolific writer on the up and coming bent on scorching the industry with a new vibe from the West Coast region.

He has featured on various mixtapes, albums, and compilations with artist ranging from independant artists to mainstream artists in the business. Banc has performed at scores of venues such as the Knitting Factory, Dragonfly, Club Gotham, Club Ice, Hollywood Park Casino, and Hollywood Celebrity Centre, just to name a few. He is well rounded, and delves into many facets that grasp those of all walks of life. Calif is absolutely someone that the genre Hip Hop needs. Though his demeanor is somewhat laidback, he holds the aggressive traits of an international superstar and ethics of a workhorse. Banc was born and raised in Los Angeles, Ca and has the swagger of the multimillion dollar tycoon. At a young age he was an all-star football player, an all-star baseball player, and an exceptional student in school receiving various awards. His promising career in sports and academic achievement came to an abrupt halt due to poor decisions. Banc came to a fork in the road, either learn from his mistakes and live or die. Banc made the proactive decision to live and excel in his passion for music. Banc is 1/3 of the Powerhouse rap group GlokBoyz(Gettin. Lots. Of. Kake. Boyz) along with his longtime friend Yung Bizness a.k.a. Kapo and Vega. He is a solo artist of the up an coming entertainment company Iron Vest Ent. In association with Arsenist G'ame they will dominate the new Southern California Movement. The region needs fresh faces and Banc is a noteworthy candidate. When asked Banc had this to say: "Most people think all we're (West Coast artists) about is crime, gang bangin, drugs, and all that. I mean, come on, that's how we grew up, that's what we know! Yet at the same time, those characteristics don't encompass the entire region. What they fail to realize is that the West is a bouillabaisse of artists in the rap/hip hop genre. I'm here to demonstrate the versatility of my technique." Banc insists that he has no role models in the industry and looks up to no one. The adaptable dynamics of his persona goes hand in hand with his music. " My style is not having a specific style. Each beat sounds as if its speaking to me. With that I set the tone, topic and way I attack it." You can hear the charismatic pizzazz of his rhymes with tracks that get the club moving to songs that will strike a chord in your heart. With his knowledge of the often emulated California lifestyle, Banc has a gritty, grimy edge over a good number. There is nothing about Banc or his music that would strike as unfathomable. "I picture a scene from my experiences or encounters to come up wit new aspects. I take what I see, hear and feel put it on paper." "I'm out to get this fettiya. Getting Lots Of Kake is the motto... No matter how I gotta get it. Ya dig!?!" He is optimistic about his business ventures in the industry. For Banc Calif, the future is undeniably bright.
