What up world. They call me the Oddchild. My chamoru name is Malak. I have alot titles but my birth name is Jovan Tamayo. I live in the tropical paradise lost known as Guam. My island was appropriated after the war along with Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Phillipines. My people have yet to realize their full potential. I pray for my people to liberate their minds. I pray for our redemption and self-determination. Personally, I'm all about my amazing family, music and creativity. I am truly blessed to constantly be surrounded by gifted and positive musicians, artists, emcees and writers...sometimes I feel like I have the greatest friends...who are also my bandmates and family. I have 2 Godchildren. Aidehn and Isaiah. My little soldiers. There gonna run this music scene when they get older! Although I enjoy all genres of music because I believe that there's different music for different moods, my main inspiration is Hip-Hop. Golden age Hip-Hop. Real Hip-Hop. Underground Hip-Hop, Conscious Hip-Hop, or whatever you wanna call it. I'm an emcee who lives everyday to make mistakes, just so I can learn from it. Hopefully write about it. I'm always striving to be a better man, son, worker, emcee, writer, lover, fighter and maybe one day...a father to my future children. I am one of two frontmen in my own Hip-Hop experimental band called "8-track mind." I am also a member of "The Surface Scratchaz." Guam's first socially conscious Hip-Hop group, AND I was a part of the long-standing emcee battle crew, "State-of-the-art." I am also a co-founder and host of "Sinangan-ta." It means "our spoken words..." in my native tongue. As far as employment goes, I'm a deejay/producer and traffic reporter for HIt RAdio 100!! ONE LOVE!!
