Sparking his interest in music at a young age, Prodigal Son studied music for many years with an interest in song writing and production. In his teenage years, Prodigal Son found an interest in electronic music, DJing at underground parties in varying styles of music, from break beats, to jungle, to house. During the times of San Francisco's thriving underground music scene, Prodigal Son developed a name for himself both DJing and sponsoring events throughout the Bay Area. Keeping to his roots in the Mission district of San Francisco and following his longtime interest in word play, music production, electronic music, and song writing, Prodigal Son began playing around with the creation of Hip Hop tracks in 2003. The years of 2004 and 2005 were tough years in Prodigal's life when, having not completed highschool, being out of work, and being emersed in a destructive relationship led him to an attempted suicide, memories that can be heard in his upcoming release "Emotions." Throughout these years, Prodigal kept a detailed journal of his emotions, the only thing, he says, that kept him from being sucked too deep into his depression. His journal began evolving from pure emotions, to expressive poetry about his seemingly hopeless struggles, to rhytmical lyricism. Today, this music is what keeps him going and has been his motivation to study sound design at a local J.C., where he's moments away from receiving an associates degeree in sound design. Keeping an open mind and a passion for eclectic music genres, Prodigal Son continues to incorporate different genres of world music into his hip hop production, including classical, latin, Carribbean (stemming from his Puerto Rican roots), and rock, just to name a few, but keeps his emotions true to the moment. Prodigal Son invites artists of varying backgrounds to collaborate with him in the hopes to open peoples eyes to the many kinds of music that exists in the world. People, including yourself, may listen to a Prodigal Son track and try to classify it, but when hearing the evolution of his discography, (like his journal of poetry) it is easy to see that he doesn't like to get comfortable in a single format of song arrangement, style of composition, or rhythmic layout. Although his work may echo that of traditional hip hop production, Prodigal Son would rather be considered a musician, song writer, engineer, or production visionary than a rapper. Stay tuned for his latest releases, "Emotions" (April, '06) and more to come in summer of '06.
*"Those who take offense to my lyrics should consider that I merely observe and demonstrate the attitudes I've come to know too well in the eclectic San Francisco street life. My music is only a reaction to life and has nothing to do wit my actions. If you're still not satisfied, you can kiss my mutha' fuckin' ass."
