Name: Danny A. Roman Artist Name: Danny Oddster™ aKa Caliba Born: Brooklyn, NY on Sepemtber 2, 1986. This is how it all started...-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- It was in the 8th grade, when I REALLY got into HipHop. I didn't write or rap but I would know all the words to my favorite songs, so I guess it seemed like I could rap. A couple of my friends did actually rhyme. So what happened was, me and my homeboy was chillen and he asked me if I could rap, and I said "man, I dont know...". My homeboy ended up writing me a verse and we just messed around with it to get sh*t movin. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------I already had my own rap name, which was CALIBA . That was basically my tag... the name i used for pretty much everything I created. And NO it didn't derive from "44 Calibur" or anything related to that. It actually comes from King Arthur and The Sword In The Stone. X-Calibur was the sword that was stuck inside the stone. Whoever was strong enough to pull the sword from the stone would become king. Read the story if you wanna know more lOl.-------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- OK, yeah... back to the program... When I was about 15, I started getting into HipHop a lot more. I was a HUGE fan of The Neptunes (producers that EVERYONE should know by now). I bought a lot of instrumental mixtapes and started writing. Granted I wasn't all that nice and I talked a lot of that ignorant BS, but you gotta start somewhere.-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- I'd say once I hit 17, rapping was that "thing" I wanted to do. A lot of people told me I should have a back-up plan, but THIS is what I wanted and NOTHING could change that. My lyrics were getting tighter and A LOT more meaningful. I wasn't talking out of my @ss annymore.--------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Around late 2005- early 2006, I linked up with HB and his HeartLine crew and recorded for the first time. Sure the quality of the tracks weren't all that great, but again, it was a start, and it allowed me to showcase my lyrical talents to world through MySpace. My first solo recording was something I wrote to the instrumental for this song called "Boom" by Royce 5'9, produced by DJ Premiere. I called it "2 Minute Warning". It was basically me rhyming for 2 minutes straight. It was probably one of the SICKEST things I had EVER recorded... too bad the quality wasn't like what I have up on my page now. <[Though I still have it, AND I'm going to use it for the FREE mixtape I plan ..ping this year entitled "im.a.superhero" .>]. Due to personal issues, we stopped recording and kind of went our seperate ways, but still kept in touch... I mean, homeboy's like a brother to me.--------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Fast forward to early 2008. I eventually linked up with a long time friend.... he currently goes by the name of "ELOWES" ... you can actually check him out, he's on my top friends list or you can go to this link [http://www.myspace.com/iamelowes]. And it was pretty much "smooth sailing" from there. I went from about 7,000 views and only 300 friends in 2 years, to over 23,000 views and 1,600 + friends in a little over ONE YEAR... gotta thank homeboy for that. In that one year, I also performed in 3 showcases, recorded over to 20 tracks (freestlyles, features, and actual tracks), met countless amounts of fans, fellow artists and producers.-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Now it's 2009, and with all that experience under my belt from 2008 , I think this is gonna be a good year. I've been uploading a lot of pics (sort of my way of giving you guys an up-close-and-personal look at who I am and what I do with my spare time), and trying to stay in touch with friends and fans alike. Look for new songs... coming VERY SOON, new blogs, and even new videos. Stay Tuned! and keep showing the love... it's GREATLY appreciated!!!---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---
