Band Members: In an industry based soley on gimmicks, Kontroversy Committee is hoping to shake the business. With a unique individuality comes a fresh sound from an unlikely group.
Originally from Los Angeles, ON 1 and E-luzhen learned that growing up on the streets of L.A. is a tough life. With all the gang violence, both ON 1 and E-luzhen's families decided to move them out of Los Angeles to more "family friendly" neighborhoods. ON 1, who's family originates from Guatemala, grew up in Inglewood, CA. After twelve years, he then relocated to the Antelope Valley where he resides today. E-luzhen grew up in a Mexican American home in the San Fernando Valley, just outside of Los Angeles. When E-luzhen's family moved shortly to the Antelope Valley, Kontroversy Committee was developed.
After developing a good friendship in high school and creating the sound that is Kontroversy, E-luzhen was suddenly moved back to the San Fernando Valley where he continued to grind and stir up a buzz, working with artist such as Kurupt, Rass Kass and also catching the ear of Deathrow CEO Suge Knight. Although Suge planned on signing E-luzhen, Suge ended up getting locked up and the deal fell through.
Today, Kontroversy is stirring up just that. Crowds expect to hear the typical "Chicano Gangsta" rap when Kontroversy Committee hits the stage, but instead are treated with the most impeccable sound of Hip-Hop, Rap, and R&B beats. Their lyrics are unique, their metaphors creative and style is original.
Kontroversy Committee's album due out early 08 entitled "Sounds Like Money" is sure to place Kontroversy Committee on the forefront of the new west movement with a new label name, A.L.A.N.E. Entertainment (All Latinos Are Not Equal) ON 1 and E-luzhen are ready to be the new representatives for the Latino culture.
