BIOGRAPHYMagdaleno Robles, Jr., known by his peers in the industry as simply “Guic” (pronounced “juice”), is a veteran producer, actor, director whose credits and talent as a performer are matched only by his skill and experience as an all-around go-to guy for noteworthy entertainment industry projects and collaborations. From his early days as a Los Angeles party promoter/producer where he successfully brought talent and audiences together time and time again to his recent work as an independent music producer and feature film director, Guic One DRP is force to be reckoned within the Latino entertainment world. His work across the spectrum of Latin hip-hop, television and film continues to bridge a broad cross-section of cultural communities while it marks him as true renaissance figure in what has become and explosive Latino arts and entertainment scene.In 1988, a teenaged Robles solidified his budding reputation as a formidable event coordinator by co-producing the very first ever Powerhouse Concert for 106 FM, a hip hop and R&B station which, to this day, still dominates the airwaves as the station of choice for Southern California’s most highly valued demographic, urban 18-34 year-old. Working in conjunction with Mucho Morales and Jay Thomas, the on-air personalities who were the founders of a movement that has driven urban culture and fashion for the last 20 years, he helped assemble the most popular and influential performers of that period for wall-to-wall, standing-room only, sold-out shows. In the process, Robles became one of the youngest hip-hop visionaries to ever lead a promotional street team in the Los Angeles area. As an event producer, he was instrumental in launching the careers of artists such a Stacy Q, Exposé, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, among many others.Not content to support the scene with guerrilla street team marketing and promotion, Robles was determined to take on a more significant role in the foundation of what would ultimately become the hottest and fastest growing entertainment market segment. Immersing himself in the tools and technology of music production, Robles spent the several years refining his skills and style as a composer, writing beats, hooks, and rhymes while writing and refining rhyme schemes and narrative lyrics that reflected contemporary Chicano life in the City of Angels. He assumed a personal responsibility for shedding light on a reality that had very little to do with the tired and outdated Hollywood stereotypes which belittled and simplified gang life in the “East LA” barrios with flat, two-dimensional cartoon-esque depictions. His arsenal was transformed in the process. The straps, AKs, Glocks and 9-millimeters were traded in for lyrics and dialogue born on the real streets of East LA, South Gate and Watts, places where black and brown continue to re-defined what it means to be urban in the 21st centuryDuring this period of self-reflection, Robles also took an unforeseen leap onto the stage himself, touring nationally as a rapper and sharing frequent bills with industry pioneers such as Too Short, Snoop Dogg, MC Eiht, Thug Life and West Coast Latin hip-hop godfather Frost.In 1997, Robles answered an ad in a music industry trade publication after a resoundingly successful stint on the road with a slew of well-known performers. He was hired on the spot by Marty Callner, the legendary music producer and concert mogul behind the resurrection of Aerosmith and the force behind made for broadcast special events such as Britney Spears Live in Las Vegas, ’N Sync Live at Madison Square Gardens as well as a score of stand up comedy acts and variety entertainment. As an intern and later a junior executive with Callner, he complimented his experience as an artist with an apprenticeship that would place him at the center of the entertainment industry.In May of 1999, Robles cemented his identity as Guic One DRP (Deeply Rooted Productions) with the release of his freshman CD, an album produced, arranged, recorded and marketed under the Callner/After Tha Fact imprint. Created as a calling card, the eponymous DRP Deeply Rooted disc propelled Robles forward and stimulated his drive to engage the industry on various levels. Not long after the album release, Robles was invited to submit songs for Road Dogz, an HBO production written and directed by Alfredo Ramos. As a consequence, Robles not only provided the film production with three songs—including the track which accompanied the end title credits—but also contributed to the look and feel of the picture by providing apparel from his line of streetwear apparel for a memorable scene with the principal character portrayed by award-winning actor Jacob Vargas. In gratitude, the director gave Robles a walk-on cameo role as an ambient extra.With the doors to Hollywood suddenly open, Robles utilized the relationships established through the production to develop his repertoire as a music supervisor and a much sought after consultant who was uniquely qualified to ensure authenticity on projects rooted in modern-day translations of a much maligned and misunderstood urban Latino reality. Subsequently, he was brought on board for a number of widely-hyped studio releases, among them Crazy/Beautiful, The Fast & the Furious, Training Day, S.WA.T., and the Lionsgate released Party Animalz. As a music supervisor, dialogue coach and technical consultant, Robles familiarized himself with the production process and became personally acquainted with independent film mavericks such as Gregory Nava, Antoine Fuqua and Billy Bob Thornton, who took time to counsel him and emphasize the importance of story in any film project.In 2005, Robles acquired the rights to a story by Alfredo Ramos and began work on a full-length feature screenplay re-write in collaboration with writer-journalist Abel Salas that would eventually become his directorial debut. With Six Thugs, Robles entered the fray as a producer, writer and director. The film, as yet unreleased, boasts an all-star cast of emerging Latino screen talent, among them Noel G, Rolando Molina, Robert Zepeda, Demetrius Navarro and Cypress Hill’s Sen-Dog in his big-screen debut. Screened as a work-in-progress at the 12th Annual Cine Sin Fin East LA Chicano Film Festival in Hollywood at the world renowned and fully restored Ricardo Montalban Theatre, in the heart of the new Hollywood Entertainment District, the film garnered the festival’s highest accolades as the winner of the “Firme Award” for “Best Screenplay” and “Best Feature.” At the festival, Robles was also unexpectedly acknowledged with the “Anthony Quinn Award” for “Best Actor.” Casting himself in the role of the film’s chief villain, says Robles, was the most difficult challenge he had ever faced. As a director, this challenge reminded Robles of what he faced during his own mother’s terminal struggle with a fatal illness.Most recently, Robles has produced and directed a music video featuring Latin hip-hop icon Frost and his prodigy son Scoop DeVille, a rapper who, himself, has produced tracks for superstars such as Jay-Z, Baby Bash. A tribute to the Joker Brand insignia, a multi-million dollar empire created by the Soul Assassin family and led by world-renowned photographer/director Estevan Oriol and Mr. Cartoon, his business partner and the creative genius behind mainstreaming of Chicano art as a brand and a consumer mainstay. With the video for “I’m a Joker,” a track featured on the forthcoming album from bilingual rapper Chino Brown, a song produced by Scoop DeVille and featuring turntable artistry by Fingazz as well as performances by West Coast rap queen Diamonique and Guic himself, Robles consolidates himself as a force to be reckoned with in the realm of urban Latino music, film and television.
