Created with mySpace Profile EditorBORN IN BAYAMO, CUBA I STARTED DANCING AT THE AGE OF SEVEN, HARD WORK AND DEDICATION WON ME A SCHOLARSHIP IN HAVANA AT THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF ARTS (ENA). FIVE YEARS AGO WHILE STILL LIVING IN HAVANA, I WAS CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE HAVANA NIGHT CLUB SHOW WHERE I TOURED THE WORLD AND MADE HEADLINES IN NOVEMBER 2005 WHEN MORE THAN 40 MEMBERS DEFECTED IN LAS VEGAS, CREATING THE LARGEST MASS DEFECTION IN THE HISTORY OF THE US. AS A SINGER AND DANCER FOR THE SHOW MY FACE WAS FEATURED IN 9 BILBOARDS AND 60 TAXIS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
MY LIFE STORY IS FILLED WITH INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE AND A CONSTANT QUEST FOR FREEDOM AND RESPECT. AFTER ESCAPING FROM CUBA AND LIVING IN AMERICA FOR ALMOST A YEAR I CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT I WAS NOT AS FREE AS I THOUGHT, THE OWNER OF THE SHOW AND THE MASTERMIND BEHIND OUR ESCAPE, A GERMAN NATIVE WAS USING THE SAME TYPE OF TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED IN COMMUNIST CUBA TO CONTROL OUR LIVES. SHE CONTINUOSLY TOLD US HOW MUCH WE OWED HER FOR HELPING US TO ESCAPE, SHE KEPT TELLING US WE WILL NEVER MAKE IT IN AMERICA WITHOUT HER AND THAT WE HAD TWO STRIKES AGAINST US FOR BEING BLACKS AND LATINOS. SHE REMINDED ME SO MUCH OF HOW FIDEL CASTRO STILL TELLS BLACK CUBANS THAT CUBA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE RACISM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED EVENTHOUGH BLACKS ARE CONSIDERED SECOND CLASS CITIZENS SO THEY ARE IN DEBT WITH HIS REVOLUTION AND THEREFORE HAVE NOT OTHER CHOICE BUT TO WORSHIP HIM. IT WAS OBVIOUS I'VE JUST TRADED SLAVE MASTERS SO I LEFT THE SHOW, TOOK CONTROL OF MY OWN DESTINY AND STARTED MY CAREER AS A SOLO SINGER. "CUBA IS A CARIBBEAN ISLAND WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION IS BLACK BUT UNFORTUNATELY IS STILL CONTROLLED BY THE WHITE MINORITY OF SPANISH DESCENT WHO HAVE RULED THE ISLAND FOR CENTURIES AND CREATED ONE THE POOREST AND MOST RACIST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD". CUBA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE RAP MUSIC IS BANNED FROM TELEVISION RADIO AND NIGHTCLUBS, IT ONLY EXISTS UNDERGROUND. YOUNG BLACK CUBANS ARE USING HIP-HOP TO QUESTION THE WHITE STABLISHMENT SO THE MOST OUTSPOKEN ARE CENSORED OR THROWN IN JAIL. THEY ARE CUBA'S NEW REVOLUTIONARIES. WHEN YOU ARE BORN IN CUBA YOU ARE TAUGHT FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE INFERIOR, YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED. MY FATHER IS A BLACK MAN AND MY MOTHER IS MIXED SO I GREW UP VERY CONFUSED. HOWEVER ONCE YOU LIVE IN AMERICA YOU BECOME AWARE OF THE GIFT THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY YOUR AFRICAN ANCESTORS AND HOW PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT HAVE SHAPED UP THE CULTURAL IDENTITY OF THE ISLAND SO YOU START FEELING VERY PROUD OF YOUR AFRICAN HERITAGE. NOWADAYS I STILL LIVE IN LAS VEGAS WHERE I HAVE MY OWN RECORDING STUDIO AND I AM WORKING ON MY FIRST ALBUM "MANUMISSION" A JOURNEY TO FREEDOM WHERE I AM FEATURING SOME FAMOUS ARTISTS LIKE THE LEGENDARY "GEORGE CLINTON" THE FOREFATHER OF FUNK, THE MASTERMIND OF "FUNKADELIC" AND THE CREATOR OF "ATOMIC DOGS", A CLASSIC THAT HELPED SNOOP DOGGY DOG BECOME POPULAR.
