About Me

Phinale = FinaleMy name is Bohan Leng, I'm Asian and i'm FIFTEEN years old, I was born and raised in China until I was 11 years old and then i came to the States. Never knew my real dad but i never really cared because he got my mom pregnant and just left. I grew up with my grandparents in a very shabby town in southern China. Long story short i was first introduced to rap by a friend while we watched 8 Mile at my house. I was amazed by the lyrical content and the ability to flow showed by Eminem, and immediately i downloaded every single song of his and rap became my favorite. I never really wanted to rap for real until early 2007 when i realized, and my friends realized that i could flow and really put words together, either to tell a story or to share an experience, they said it was like poetry with a rap kind of style. So i figured why not... I started saving my own money, skipping lunch and saving birthday money, didn't really ask for much during Christmas so my parents just gave me money. I'm grateful for my parents, just putting this out there. Earlier 2008 i spent about $900 and brought home some simple recording equipments (a mic, preamp, Cubase, speakers, thats it!) and started banging out songs. At the moment i really didn't care who listened to my shit or what they thought about it, i just loved recording so i was putting out songs after songs in my school. Right now i kind of slowed down because my family had some issues, but hopefully i'll get right back up and keep writing. so i hope you like the songs, pay attention to the lyrics, thats what i'm best at, and i'm sure you'll be impressed!

Member Since: 22/06/2008
Band Website: WWW.Reverbnation.com/ThePhinale
Band Members: The Phinale aka Raw Data aka Bohan Leng
Influences: I'm influenced by a lot of stuff... Different music artists, different genres of music not just hip hop and rap. Giving back to my mom and step dad is a major motivation for what i do. And the fact that I'd like to prove many wrong, for saying that because I'm Asian I'll never be able to make it in this music industry, and also i love hip hop, it ain't what i do, it's who i am...Influences: - Tupac - Eminem - Immortal Technique - The Beatles - Dr. Dre - Jay Z - Lupe Fiasco - Murs - Nas - Mos Def - Snoop Dogg - Common - Rakim - Method Man - Busta Rhymes - Run DMC
Sounds Like: Because i listen to Tupac and Eminem so much, and I'm all about lyrics, they say they can hear both Tupac and Em in my songs. But i ain't trying to be like them or be better than them because they're simply the greatest of Hip Hop, I'm just trying to be the best that i can be...
