Luis Alberto Mejias
"AkA L.A"I was born in Caguas Puerto Rico on the day of October 1, 1983. But i was rasied in a small town in Puerto Rico called Juncos. I moved to the United States when i was 15 in 1998, with my family. We moved to a town in Rhode Island called Woonsocket . In 1999 is when everthing started to come together and thats when i met Angel Rivera also knowed as "Negrito". That's when we came up with the idea of making a group of spanish rap called "El Clan De Las Tinieblas". As time went by, we got to know two more spanish rappers that lived in Woonsocket. One is Juan Carlos Rodrigez also knowed as "Bavilla" and the other one was Jesus Lanzo also Knowed as "Manny". When Manny and Bavilla joined our group, thats when we started to get serious about making Hip Hop. That's when we made a demo in a cassett player with beats that already had songs. In that time, spanish Hip Hop was getting really popular in Puerto Rico. That time of the generation we listen to Polaco y Lito, Tempo, Eddie Dee, and Daddy Yankee. Those where the rappers that motivated me and the group to start. In the year 2000, we stayed undergroud and just made lyrics and tried to find beats for our songs. In the year 2001, is when we finished all of our songs and we dicided to find ways to get time in the stage. At that time we needed a DJ for our group. I asigned my little brother Jonathan as our DJ because he had potential and he was willing to learn. He is also knowed as DJ John . Thats when one of the rappers "Negrito" left the group for personal reasons. After that we started to get alot of stage time, winning competitions, and we strated to open shows for famous rappers from Puerto Rico. We got recongnized as the best Rap and Reggaeton group in Rhode Island as new talents. In the start of 2002 that's when we got a little bit lazy. We wasn't doing shows and we weren't doing music. But in October 28, 2002 i got a second chance for the love of music because my daughter Tatianna Lis Mejias was born and that was my new insperation, to keep going with my dream as a music artist.In the year of 2003 is when another of the rappers called Bavilla left the group for personal reasons. In that same year Manny, DJ John and I got together and kept going on with our mission. We got together with DJ Cubi and he introduced me to a new computer program called Fruity Loops. Fruity Loops is a computer program that allowes you to make beats. At that time is when i focused to reggaeton more than Hip Hop. Thanks to Lunny Tunes, because they where the ones pushing and moving reggaeton more than anybody else, in my prespective. I learned how to make beats in a fruity loops demo that we downloaded from the internet. The beats weren't perfect they were ok, but they didnt sound as good as everyone elses. That whole year I made beats ,wrote songs and made a demo. In that time we still did a demo with my own beats. Then at the end of 2003 we started to get ready for the year of 2004. We practice our songs and made our own shows so when we got to the festivals, and clubs we would be ready to blow everybodys mind. In the year of 2004 everything was going good. Everybody loved our song and they couldnt wait till our Album came out. Everyone was asking us for the album but we still havent found the right conection to open the doors for us and invest money on us. At the end of 2004 we decided to invest money in ourselfs and bought plane tickets to Puerto Rico to show our demo to the conection we were trying to find. manny had a couple of connections. In 2005 we got there and we talked to them and they liked the songs we had in the demo, but we only could stay in Puerto Rico for two weeks. So we only could show them what we had in the demo. When it came time for us to leave back, we only had there phone numbers and they said that they would call us back. When i was in Puerto Rico i learned to make the real dembow that the proffesionals made in P.R. That helped me to make better beats in the proffesional level. Then we waited for them to call us. finally when they called us they said to go back to puerto rico and get a lawyer because they wanted to sign us. I was ready to go and invest money. But Manny my partner had family problems and he could go out to Puerto Rico and since that was his connection i decided to not to relay on other people. I did everything anyways and i recorded myself in the small studio i invested money on so i broke the duo because he was keeping me back from stepping into the next level. So when we broke up the duo, i started from scratch and made new beats and songs in a better level. After awhile i found a new connection from Puerto Rico by phone. At that same time i was making new songs and beats. I always had done demos from 3 to 4 songs, but my connection had opend my eyes and told me that if i was to make a demo that i needed to have 16 songs in the demo its self. So i had a long way to go to make a new demo to show the connections. So i worked the whole 2005 working on the 16 song demo. Finally when i finshed, in the end of 2005. Around Christmas. I called my connection from Puerto Rico. Thats when everything went sour because when i had called him, and i was told that he had a long sentence in prison. During that whole time in 2005 i hanged around with one of my neighboors called Elisier Hidalgo aslo knowed as " Richie". With out knowing that he had a connection in New York from his big brother Leslie Hidalgo Aslo knowed as "Les". Thats when everything started to play along. He heard my demo and asked me for a copy to show some connections he had in New York. When 2006 started i send him the demo and a week passed by and he called Richie and told him that he had ,found a connection that liked most of the songs that were in the demo and wanted to meet up with me to talk business. That made me motivated and i whent to New York to meet with the connection. The connections name is Oscar Rodriguez also knowed as "O.C". He wanted sign me and he wanted me to start recording my songs in a proffesional studio. So i did it. Everything is in proses to be distrubuted.NEW SONGS COMING SOON!
