"ISHAD'S BIO"
"He's great. ISHAD is on of the most talented artist I've ever seen." It's not to often you come across an artist like him, he has the total package. ISHAD is a rapper/producer from Baltimore MD, who has been writing and raping for years. Since elementary school he has been performing in various talent shows and talent show cases. ISHAD attended a few schools in Baltimore like Patterson high,Fredrick Douglass, and Walbrook High School. All through middle school and high school he's been annoying he's teachers and peer's making beats on the tables while free styling. Now he's out of school and on a higher scale, not yet a platinum selling artist but at the rate he's going it's not to far out of he's reach.
But let me take you back a few years. Ishad Ahmad Neal aka "ISHAD" was born January 15 1987 in Baltimore MD. One afternoon in April of 2005 12th grade year, ISHAD heard of a recording software called cool edit pro, which is a recording software. Now at that time he didn't know how to use the software besides even if he did know how to use it he wouldn't be able to record any thing because he didn't have a mic. So ISHAD went looking for a job and landed him self a gig at McDonald's only making $5.15 in hour SO, it took him some time to get that mic but he got it. One day at work he heard of a program called FRUITY LOOPS or FL STUDIO for short, this is a software used by producers to make beats. ISHAD went home and looked it up online and found out where it was sold and got it. Ishad recorded 3 entire albums in 1 year right out of his mothers basement but none of them got him the attention he wanted. He stopped raping and making beats for a while to work a job, but one day he decided to give this music thing one more try. And in late 2007 he begin recording he's debut album "ISHAD OVERDRIVE" due for release late 2008.
At 21 this guy is very smart and talented, building a fan base in the streets and online via Myspace. He also has a website called ishadoverdrive.com that's becoming very popular site.
