About Me

Ostwelve was born in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. He was raised by his grandparents until he was 13, when he took his journey into the city of Vancouver to find Hiphop and himself. His path led him to Hiphop jams, after hours parties and street ciphers at an early age. Before moving into the city music was always an integral part of his life, with a mother who played percussion, father who played guitar and many uncles and grandparents with musical love and talent. More recently Ostwelve has been acting, rapping, and film making, landing a lead character role on the Showcase drama â€œMoccasin Flats.â€ Os has also been traveling the world showcasing his talent performing at large international showcases such as the Global African Hip Hop Summit 2005, and the Nokia Jam in Johannesburg fall of 2006. It is apparent that with the changing world and it's quirky happenings the we should see much more provocative and maybe controversial rap from the 27 year old Sto:lo native, something he says to accept as his fate and destiny as a healer thrown into this New World Order.
